  • My first time in Dubai, and to come to something like Gulfood is mind-blowing. It is absolutely enormous, and I believe the impact of Gulfood extends far beyond Dubai, beyond the UAE, and beyond the MENA region. I’ve encountered more futurists per square meter here than at any other event I’ve attended. From my perspective, this is one of the best futurist- led conferences I’ve ever experienced.

  • Integrity has always been my foundation, and quality remains the heart of every dish I create. My advice? Always explore new techniques in your cooking. Gulfood Top Table is a unique opportunity for visitors to experience a gathering of the world's greatest chefs, all under one roof.

  • So far, my experience at Gulfood has been pretty intense. It’s super busy and really big, and unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to look around everything yet. It’s a shame that more people in the world don’t know about it because there’s enough space for even more people to come
    DR. MORGAINE GAYE
    Food Futurologist
  • Being in Dubai and part of Top Table at Gulfood is truly an honour. It’s been a remarkable opportunity to share my creations and bring a piece of the French art de vivre to the world. The dish I presented—a foie gras creation inspired by the pebbled coastlines of my childhood in Brittany—carries the colors and memories of my roots. It’s a celebration of heritage, artistry, and the passion that drives us as chefs to turn memories into something tangible and beautiful.

  • I’ve been to very few conferences that are as big as this one. The actual Inspire Conference itself, the quality of speakers— and I’m not talking about myself here, but the people who are following me— is absolutely phenomenal. It’s great to see such a packed audience as well, I mean, not even standing room only; there’s barely any standing room left at the back as well. So, yeah, just a brilliant event.
