For the 4th year in a row, Lafayette Gourmet’s Food Fest returns with a 3-day program of foodie activities, tastings, workshops, and entertainment, from September 17th until 19th, 2015 at Galeries Lafayette, The Dubai Mall.
Strengthening its reputation as a gastronomic destination and unique food hall concept, Lafayette Gourmet will incorporate a variety of activities for its customers and foodies by hosting Regional and International Chefs as well as infamous Bloggers, who will be showcasing cuisines and culinary offerings from all over the world.
Food Fest 2015 will celebrate “real” food and organic produce while promoting Lafayette Gourmet‘s wide offer range.
Chef Russell Impiazzi, Culinary Director of Lafayette Gourmet, says:
“I am very excited about this year’s Food Fest, we have had a lot of fun with the last three, and the fourth one will be even bigger! We have brought together a fantastic group of Chefs, producers and foodie fans for a celebration of “real food”. Looking at where our produce comes from is really important for us and I hope we will give an insight to what we do at Galeries Lafayette. From the local organic produce and amazing cheeses, to the Heritage Beef Program, having the opportunity to talk to the people behind this and taste the “real” products, gives the experience a sense of involvement and fun.
One highlight that I am looking forward to is working with Chef Philippe from the Chocolate Academy: we will be working on an exclusively produced range of chocolate truffles which will translate our vision of Dubai from the past, present and future… This is the idea behind Food Fest: interpret food, taste and talk about it, sharing experiences and ideas along the way. With chef demos, workshops, live entertainment and lots to eat, I’m sure that if you love food, you will enjoy Food Fest!’’
