Taste of Abu Dhabi
Yas Gateway Park North, Yas Island
"Sixteen restaurant pop-ups, hands-on chef sessions and live music across three days on Yas."
Taste of Abu Dhabi takes over Yas Gateway Park North for three days, and the format is the reason to go: every kitchen serves four or five taster-sized dishes, so you eat across the whole site instead of committing to one restaurant.
Soraya, Oak Room, Marcella, ERGON, Beetza and La Broche by Bocuse are among the pop-ups. Gino D'Acampo, Rachel Allen and Thomas Straker cook live across the Cook School, the Chefs Hub and the Keeta fire pit, and Amna Al Hashemi runs a kids' session each afternoon. The music runs to midnight on Friday and Saturday, nearer 10pm on Sunday.
Doors open at 2pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

“Eat small and wide: five plates across five kitchens beats one big lunch. Time your evening around the fire pit sessions rather than the main stage.”
“Choose the cooking session you want when you arrive. Workshop sign-ups are in person and first come, first served, so secure a place before heading round the food stalls. Standard entry includes demos but not food vouchers.”
