Taste of Abu Dhabi, the capital’s popular food, drink, and music festival, returns from 14 to 16 November 2025 at Gateway Park North, Yas Island, in partnership with BMW. The three-day event, organised by MENA Live Events LLC, will once again bring together food enthusiasts, families, and music lovers for a weekend of dining experiences, workshops, and entertainment.
This year’s edition will feature pop-ups from 15 of Abu Dhabi’s well-known restaurants, including Fouquet’s Abu Dhabi, Ilios, Taparelle, and Lento. Visitors can look forward to a wide range of cuisines, from French and Mediterranean to contemporary comfort food.
The festival will also include interactive sessions and live cooking demonstrations by renowned chefs Gino D’Acampo, Matt Preston, and Shivesh Bhatia, offering guests an opportunity to learn culinary techniques and engage with the chefs.
Alongside the food experiences, the event will host live music performances, artisan stalls, and a dedicated kids’ zone. Multiple licensed outlets will be available on-site, and visitors seeking an upgraded experience can opt for the VIP package, which includes lounge access, food and beverage vouchers, and reserved seating near the main stage.
