Saudi Arabia to Spotlight Culinary Heritage at Taste of Paris 2025
At Taste of Paris 2025, Saudi Arabia will bring its cuisine and culture to life with interactive food stations, modern twists on classic recipes, and a pavilion inspired by the Kingdom's traditions. Saudi Arabia is set to participate in Taste of Paris 2025, one of the world's leading food festivals, which will be held at the Grand Palais Éphémère from May 8th to the 11th. Organised by the Culinary Arts Commission, the Kingdom's involvement places Saudi cuisine at the forefront of a global culinary platform. Presented under the theme 'Taste of Saudi Culture', the Kingdom's pavilion will offer visitors a multi-sensory journey shaped by food, architecture, and local customs. Three distinct environments will reflect Saudi Arabia's diverse geography and traditions: the central desert's architectural forms, palm-filled oases, and the Saudi majlis — a traditional gathering space recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage since 2015. At the centre of the pavilion, interactive stations will bring Saudi flavours to life. Live cooking demonstrations, tastings, and food-focused games will allow visitors to engage directly with the country's culinary traditions. The date, a central ingredient in Saudi cuisine, will be featured prominently, with chefs offering inventive versions of familiar dishes. These include lamb glazed with date molasses, Jareesh with a modern twist, Balilah, and date-based desserts such as ice cream and kunafa, alongside classic French pastries reimagined with Saudi influences. Beyond showcasing food, Saudi Arabia's participation reflects a wider strategy to promote its cultural industries through Vision 2030.
