Gourmet Abu Dhabi – the Middle East’s premium culinary event – is to return in 2011 with new additions to its masterful offering.      

Back for the third year from 2 to 16 February 2011, Gourmet Abu Dhabi, which is presented by Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority, is expanding.

New features will include a charity dinner and a day of chocolate and pastry workshops conducted by women pastry chefs. Set to feature a host of international Michelin-starred masterchefs, renowned pâtissiers, special guests and the finest châteaus, Gourmet Abu Dhabi will be packed with unique dining experiences in settings of ultimate grandeur. The festivities will begin with the Abu Dhabi Gourmet Stars awards ceremony and a gala opening.

 “These, and other special themed events we are working on, will join the ever popular and established masterclass programme, schedule of chateau dinners, a feast of Middle East cuisine and a gourmet golf experience,” explained Noura Al Dhaheri, Acting Leisure Products Development Manager.
