Yesterday I was invited to the food tasting event at Etisalat Beach Canteen with other media people. The media event was graced by H.E. Laila Mohammad Suhail, CEO of the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment(DFRE) . 

  
I loved the Etisalat Beach Canteen, it is bigger and better than previous years. Etisalat Beach Canteen is also serving as the main ticket booking platform for all major Dubai Food Fesstival 2o16 events.

  
The whole place was lively and buzzing with fun activities. Talented young singers and musicians enthralled us with their music. We enjoyed an amazing array of delicious food and drinks.

  
I tried food and drinks from Mantoushe, WOFL, Barsalata, Khameer & Dough,Mokha 1450, Pinza,Moshi,Classic Burger Joint, Karak House,Ting Irie, Shawerma Station, Jambo Grill, Haagen-Daz, The Hot Dog Stand and Sugar Moo.

  
There will be lot of activities for the kids. You can expect live celebrity chef demonstrations as well as fitness classes, farmers market, storytelling by the sea, open-mic nights, music, fashion and design events.
