Taste of Dubai Festival 2023

Dubai’s ultimate food festival, Taste of Dubai once again enhances the guest experience with innovative, sustainable, collaboration.

The much-anticipated Taste of Dubai in Partnership with Philips is only a few weeks away. And is ready to impress foodies, families and friends alike with its best restaurant line-up in Taste history. But organisers haven’t stopped there, as a the new ‘Taste of Hilton’ experience will launch at the February 3-5 event.

Taste of Hilton

Being dubbed the “foodie festival within a foodie festival”, this new experience will be a sustainability showcase offering exciting eco-conscious food and drink demonstrations.

Working with the very best farm fresh local produce supplied by UAE agritech platform and local catalyst, Fresh on Table. Chefs and Mixologists from Hilton’s UAE 30 strong hotel portfolio will invite guests to meet local farmers. And watch as they create delicious farm-to-plate dishes and drinks in an eco-conscious way. These sustainable tasters will be offered free, on a first come first served basis, to those who purchase a drink from the dedicated bar.

In addition, local women-owned startup, The Waste Lab will be present. They will ensure that all compostable food and drink waste produced by the Taste of Hilton experience will be properly segregated at source, collected and then composted.

Attendees can also expect live music and to have their picture taken by one of the Hilton ‘Waitographers’ who will be on-hand to capture those all-important festival moments.
