His Highness Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), has officially opened this year’s Gourmet Abu Dhabi festival at the soon-to-open,five-star, beachfront Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi, Grand Canal.

With more than 500 guests turning out for the fortnight-long culinary festival’s glittering Gala Opening, Sheikh Sultan joined a collection of 11 international masterchefs from seven countries - including the UAE’s very own Chef Khulood Atiq - on stage before touring more than 20 food and beverage stations operated by the event’s host venues and sponsor partners.

“It was a great night which got this fifth showing of this annual festival off in style,” said Noura Al Dhaheri, Leisure Product Development Manager, TCA Abu Dhabi, which organises the festival. “Our jam-packed 16-day schedule will see 56 global gourmet stars taking local and international diners on a culinary odyssey across 20 of Abu Dhabi’s fine dining restaurants. Guests can expect the best of global cuisine infused with the finest traditions of Emirati hospitality.”
