Michelin is pleased to announce the MICHELIN Guide’s Food Festival in Abu Dhabi, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), from December 8th to 10th at the Louvre Abu Dhabi Park. As part of Abu Dhabi Culinary Season, this is MICHELIN Guide’s first such event in the region. It will assemble chefs from 16 MICHELIN Guide-recognized restaurants under the theme of “Discover the Art of Flavor,” offering specially curated menus, exclusive dishes, a Chef’s Table event, a selection of culinary masterclasses, and a marketplace of MICHELIN products and produce from local farms.
Flavors are what make a dish unique and distinctive, and mastering their harmony is an impressive skill. This is why the MICHELIN Guide has chosen “Discover the Art of Flavor” as its inaugural Food Festival theme. The 16 selected restaurants will showcase the wonders of taste in an ode to top-notch cooking and artistic sensibility. In this gastronomic experience like no other, guests travel the world through diverse, exclusive flavors. Each chef will celebrate their regional cuisine with a specially curated menu, sweeping gourmets away on a unique culinary journey at the heart of Abu Dhabi.
