Doha, Qatar, 13 March 2023: The pinnacle event in Qatar’s culinary calendar, the 12th Qatar International Food Festival (QIFF) is welcoming thousands of visitors to the newly-opened Lusail Al Sa’ad Plaza – the street synonymous with the FIFA World Cup 2022™ final celebrations. QIFF is Qatar’s largest and longest-running food and drink festival and is on until March 21, 2023. 
From fireworks and family-friendly entertainment to chef masterclasses at the Qatar Airways cooking theatre, the festival offers something for all ages to enjoy. Foodies can choose from 100 vendors offering global cuisines, from local shawarma to Mexican tacos and Liberian rice bread. On a daily basis, all leftover food is collected and distributed by the festival’s charity partner Qatar Charity. 
 
Sheikha Hessa Al-Thani, Head of Marketing and Planning at Qatar Tourism, said: “Qatar International Food Festival is a celebration of our country’s unique and diverse melting pot of cultures, which for more than a decade has shone an essential spotlight on the thriving culinary scene here in Qatar. With so many recent outstanding restaurant openings, Qatar’s gastronomic landscape is incredibly exciting, and we are delighted to showcase all that’s on offer to visitors from around this world.” 
 
This year’s QIFF highlights include: 
Family-fun entertainment 
A suite of varied and lively entertainment options for the entire family is on offer every day at QIFF 2023. Throughout the festival there are roaming acts and a nightly fireworks show. Guests can even get their skates on at a custom-made ice rink. 
 
Chef masterclasses and workshops 
Daily live cooking theatres feature some of the world’s most dynamic and respected chefs, and food-loving festivalgoers can attend ticketed interactive food masterclasses where they have the unique opportunity to sharpen their skillset with some of the industry’s finest. 
 
Immersive dining experiences 
There is a host of unusual dining options available for guests at QIFF, including a unique experience with Le Petit Chef, an interactive dining experience using 3D mapping, in collaboration with The Ritz Carlton, Doha. 
And the festival’s customary cornucopia of world cuisine food trucks will make a return too. From Arabian spices to gorgeously flavoursome Filipino Kare Kare, guests are sure to find something mouth-watering amongst the variety of carts. 
 
Cultural delicacies 
This year, QIFF has an area dedicated to Indonesia, home to the famed Spice Islands, in celebration of the Qatar-Indonesia Year of Culture 2023. QIFF will also feature a special Qatari cultural tent that includes local delicacies. 
 
 
Vegan and green desert zone 
An entire section of the festival exclusively houses vegan cuisine and healthy food options.  
 
Additionally, to celebrate the upcoming International Horticultural Expo 2023 Qatar, which will take place in October under the theme “Green Desert, Better Environment,” a special kiosk is offering special plant giveaways for festival visitors. 
 
Organised by Qatar Tourism in partnership with Qatar Airways, the 12th Qatar International Food Festival is sponsored by Qatar Airways, Talabat, Ooredoo, Askar, and Expo 2023. QIFF 2023 is free to the public and runs daily until March 21 from 16:00 – 22:00 on weekdays, and 16:00 – 01:00 on weekends.
