A sumptuous celebration of food will be served up in the UAE’s capital next month with the return of the Abu Dhabi Food Festival (ADFF).
Running from December 5 to 23, the festival will incorporate Gourmet Abu Dhabi, Street Feast and, for the first time, the SIAL trade fair, the fastest-growing food, beverage and hospitality event in the MENA region.
Running over 19 days and taking in three weekends, ADFF will attract both residents and visitors alike to enjoy not only cuisine from some of the best chefs on the planet, but also some of the most scrumptious street food available anywhere in the world today.
MasterChef Australia star Matt Preston, acclaimed Michelin Star chef, restaurateur and global TV personality, Graham Elliot and Adriano Zumbo, star of Zumbo’s Just Desserts, will be delighting food fans with pop-up restaurant appearances, ‘Meet & Greets’ and cookbook signings during the festival.
ADFF will also feature unique events such as ‘desert’, ‘sea’ and ‘sky’-themed dining experiences, a Gourmet Golf event, a ‘Fast Cars, Slow Food’ barbeque and live music, as well as a multitude of mall activations that will delight both families and children.
The event will also have a full range of activations and promotions in the emirate’s hotels, restaurants and malls. Main attractions on the menu include cooking demonstrations, ‘Kitchen Missions’ featuring Dora the Explorer, the Ninja Turtles and SpongeBob Squarepants, with live music, chocolate carving, unique barbeque events as well as celebrity-hosted ‘high tea’ events.
“With this year’s Abu Dhabi Food Festival we are strategically positioning Abu Dhabi as a global culinary capital through a comprehensive and accessible top-level festival celebrating food and food preparation,” said HE Saif Saeed Ghobash, Director General, TCA Abu Dhabi. “We believe the combination of the best culinary and entertainment aspects of our already established food festival will sit perfectly alongside the business focus of the SIAL trade fair, and this is another example of TCA Abu Dhabi taking a strategic lead in implementing cooperation between both governmental and private partners.”
