For four days starting on May 8, the Grand Palais in Paris will be transformed into a veritable temple of gastronomy to host the 10th edition of the Taste of Paris festival. This unmissable event, which attracts more than 30,000 enthusiasts every year, promises an exceptional culinary experience, punctuated by the creativity of Michelin-starred chefs and emerging talents, the discovery of exceptional products and a unique festive atmosphere. Here’s a sneak preview.
Created in 2015, Taste of Paris is part of a series of international food festivals initiated by the IMG group, which is also behind Taste of London and Taste of Sydney. Since its first edition under the glass roof of the Grand Palais, the Parisian event has found its audience: lovers of haute cuisine, those curious about new flavors, and culinary enthusiasts.
The aim of the event is to democratize access to gastronomy by allowing everyone to discover dishes by renowned chefs at affordable prices, in a festive and immersive format. Driven by values of sharing, transmission, and celebration of taste, Taste of Paris also aims to promote French artisans, producers, and culinary schools.
The festival, which takes place this year from May 8 to 11, features an eclectic program combining Michelin-starred chefs, young talent, participatory workshops, and masterclasses. It has become a major cultural event in the Parisian spring, combining elements of a gastronomic event, a trade show, and a public happening.
