The internationally acclaimed series of food and drink
festivals, Taste Festivals, comes to
India with the launch of Taste of Mumbai. The city-based food
and drink festival promises to be an eclectic selection of food, drinks and
restaurants to delight food lovers at Marine Drive from 22nd to 24th

Taste Festival is a high-quality food and drink consumer
event where the host city’s most prestigious restaurants and celebrated chefs
serve sample-sized signature dishes to visitors in an outdoor city centre
venue. The event is supported by “retail therapy” with food and drink related

share the culinary art form and present their signature dishes. Alain Fabrègues
from Australia, Jehangir Mehta from New York, Vivek Singh from London and
Margot Janse from South Africa are the International
Guest Chefs for the event.
The festival will have an
exclusive American Express VIP Lounge
to let people take a break from the tasting and shopping to relax in a private
lounge with a complimentary dram of Glenfiddich over a discussion with top
chefs. Other features include the Fisher Paykel Taste Theatre
where culinary greats take to the stage and share their secrets, show off
their skills and polish yours with a plethora of pan rattling
