Dubai Food Festival: Take a bite out of 10 dirham dishes, celeb masterclasses and world cuisine

The 10th edition of the annual Dubai Food Festival (DFF) promises to be its biggest yet with a strong focus this year on “diversity in cuisine, location and price”.

This year’s DFF started on April 21, in time for the Eid Al Fitr celebrations. The 17-day festival will give residents and visitors a taste of what Dubai has to offer on the gastronomy scene, with more than 13,000 restaurants currently operating across the city, according to figures released by the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE).

Crowd favourites such as the Etisalat by e& Beach Canteen, Dubai Restaurant Week and Foodie Experiences make a return this year along with the 10 Dirham Dish segment, which will allow people to sample the city’s many offerings at a fraction of the cost.

With so many opportunities to tuck into a hearty meal offered by Michelin-starred restaurants, here’s a look at what DFF has to offer this year.
