Taste of Dubai 2026 returns to Dubai Media City Amphitheatre for three days of food, drink, music and festival vibes. Dubai’s leading food festival brings together the city’s best restaurants, celebrity chefs and live entertainment in one vibrant outdoor setting.

Sixteen top restaurants will serve 4–5 taster-sized dishes each, alongside live cooking workshops with celebrity chefs including Gino D’Acampo and Matt Preston. Guests can enjoy DJs, live bands, artisan markets, licensed lounges, mocktails and VIP experiences throughout the weekend.

Here’s what makes Taste of Dubai 2026 unmissable for foodies and entertainment fans alike.

1. Dubai’s best restaurants in one place
Taste dishes from 16 of Dubai’s top restaurants, serving 4–5 taster-sized plates each, from Michelin-recognised names to cult homegrown favourites.

3. Big festival energy, all weekend long
From live bands and DJs to intimate acoustic sets, Taste of Dubai brings non-stop entertainment alongside the food; it is as much a music festival as a foodie one.
