Diverse cuisine, family-friendly entertainment and the chance to meet and learn from some of the region’s most talented chefs are all part of this year’s edition.
Twelfth edition of the annual Qatar
International Food Festival (QIFF) kicked off at Al Sa’ad Plaza in Lusail
Boulevard.
On until March 21, QIFF is Qatar’s
longest-running food and beverage festival. More than 80 exciting and popular
culinary vendors will attend the eleven-day festival, which is expected to
attract more than 7,000 visitors a day.
QIFF 2023 will run daily from 4pm to 11pm on
weekdays, and 4pm to 1am on weekends. Entrance is free, with pre-registration
available on the Visit Qatar website.
From live cooking masterclasses to Le Petit
Chef, QIFF 2023 has in store plenty to eat, see and do.
Learn from the Region’s Best Chefs
QIFF 2023 will offer five daily live
cooking theatres, which will feature some of the region’s most dynamic and
respected chefs, including 29 participating chefs.
Food-loving festivalgoers can also attend
ticketed interactive food masterclasses where they will have the unique
opportunity to sharpen their skillset with some of the industry’s finest. Some
industry favourites include Rachel Allen, Chef Wan, East Levant and more.
Savour Immersive Dining Experiences
There will be a host of unusual - and
delicious! - dining options available for guests. Attendees can also enjoy
their very own high end Harrod’s afternoon tea.
The festival’s customary cornucopia of
world cuisine food trucks will make a return in 2023. From sumptuous Mexican
tacos to gorgeously flavoursome Filipino Kare Kare, guests are sure to find
something mouth-watering amongst the melee of carts.
In a true tribute to international cuisine,
QIFF will see an area dedicated to Indonesian cuisine, in celebration of the
Qatar-Indonesia Year of Culture 2023. Finally, an entire section of the
festival will exclusively house vegan cuisine, and healthy food options.
Experience World Class Entertainment
A suite of varied and lively entertainment
options for the entire family will be on offer at QIFF 2023. Throughout the
festival there will be roaming acts, a nightly fireworks show and a
publicly-accessible VIP section.
Guests can get their skates on with a
custom-made skate ring, and an entire Kids section will be available for the
little ones.
QIFF 2023 can be easily accessed by metro
(QNB station) and car, with several parking options in close proximity to
Lusail Boulevard. On a daily basis, all leftover food will be collected and
distributed by the festival’s charity partner Hifz Al NAENA.
