A number of internationally renowned chefs will celebrate fine dining with the freshest ingredients and latest food trends, taking visitors on a delightful culinary journey across continents.
A dedicated family zone will allow families to sample eclectic cuisine in an entertaining and vibrant atmosphere amid live music and fun activities for children. Many creative programmes and zones will add to the joy of fine dining at the festival.
The fifth edition of the festival will feature 11 general zones, including four food zones, a live cooking zone, 55 food stalls and five kiosks of restaurants and exhibitors.

recreations.
