Abu Dhabi Food Festival welcomes Street Feast to Corniche

This weekend the Abu Dhabi Food Festival welcomes the region’s first Street Feast on the Corniche where local and international food trucks and pop-up restaurants will offer bites ranging from Dh20 to Dh50 each. The Street Feast has already attracted big crowds at Al Gharbia and Al Ain the previous two weekends. In Al Ain alone, 15,000 people turned up over the three-day event.

Food trucks are the main attraction – 10 have trundled into the UAE from the United Kingdom. Dan Shearman, a home cook who serves lesser-known cuts of meat out of his London food truck The Roadery, says he loves the food-truck movement.

“It’s an adventure,” he says. “That’s what I got into this for – to see a bit more of the world. The plan was to see a bit more of Britain but now I’m in Abu Dhabi. The reception here has been amazing.”

The menu Shearman has brought to the UAE includes three different varieties of “Bracos” (British tacos): halloumi cheese, slow-cooked Wagyu beef cheek and beef tongue. Each comes on a soft tortilla with mint yogurt sauce and blackberry hot sauce.
