Dubai is about to witness a gastronomic spectacle like never before as Gulfood 2025 gears up for its landmark 30th edition, bringing together a stellar lineup of world-renowned chefs, industry pioneers, and bold culinary innovations. Under the theme “Culinary Futurism,” this year’s Top Table will redefine the way we experience food, from reimagined flavors to revolutionary cooking techniques that push the boundaries of tradition.

For the first time in Gulfood history, the most awarded Michelin-starred chef in the world, Alain Ducasse (21 Michelin Stars), will grace the event alongside a lineup of culinary icons holding a combined 50 Michelin Stars. The stage will see top talents like Romain Meder, Angel Leon, Ana Ros, Deepanker Khosla, and Fredrik Berselius, as well as UAE’s very own Michelin-recognized chefs including Mohamed Orfali, Daniel Birk, Solemann Haddad, and Ali Shiddique. These chefs will not only showcase their artistry through live cooking demonstrations and masterclasses but also dive into the future of food, exploring cutting-edge techniques, sustainability, and AI’s role in F&B innovation.

Beyond the live-action at Top Table, Gulfood 2025 introduces Blend Studio, an immersive space dedicated to the latest in beverage artistry, from handcrafted cocktails to next-gen coffee experiences. Meanwhile, The Tasting Room will bring together leading F&B brands and Michelin-starred chefs, offering attendees an exclusive chance to discover unique cheeses, caviar, truffles, seafood, and artisanal breads, setting new benchmarks in culinary excellence.

Food is no longer just about taste—it’s about sustainability, technology, and the evolving landscape of gastronomy. The Culinary Debate will see industry leaders take on pressing topics, including the rise of AI in food production, the future of plant-based proteins, and the growing impact of sustainability. These thought-provoking discussions will offer fresh perspectives on how the food industry is set to evolve in the coming years.

Gulfood’s YOUTHX Young Chef Challenge returns, offering emerging culinary talents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete for AED 100,000 worth of prizes and a prestigious internship at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Europe. Meanwhile, Dubai World Cuisine is set to deliver extraordinary dining collaborations, including a must-experience eight-hands dinner featuring Alain Ducasse and top culinary masters. And for food lovers across the city, Gulfood After Hours extends the experience with exclusive discounts and special menus at Dubai’s top restaurants.

From February 17 to 21, 2025, the world’s greatest culinary minds will converge at Al Mustaqbal Plaza, DWTC, shaping the future of food. Be part of this transformative journey and experience gastronomy like never before.
