Legend Alain Ducasse

The 30th edition promises to be unforgettable as Gulfood brings Alain Ducasse to
the UAE for the first time, where he will lead Top Table and Dubai World Cuisine

activations. A chef with 21 Michelin stars, Ducasse is renowned for his innovative

approach to gastronomy and his strong focus on sustainability—a vision that

aligns with the UAE’s commitment to promoting sustainable food practices. The
gastronomic superstar will share his insights on culinary futurism and the future

of the industry on Day 3 of Food500.

Chef Alain Ducasse commented: “With Top Table at Gulfood, Dubai demonstrates

its incredible momentum in attracting the most brilliant talents from all over the
world. I’m proud to be part of this event with Chef Romain Meder. First in

conducting a masterclass together at Top Table and hosting exclusive dinners at

Takahisa. Yet also in meeting with my fellow chefs and the public, sharing our
experiences and thus contributing to the rapidly evolving gastronomy scene in the

region.”
