Following the resounding success of the inaugural Taste of Shangri-La in 2023, Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah and Shangri-La Al Husn are delighted to announce the second edition of this exquisite culinary festival. From October 3 to 31, guests are invited to immerse themselves in a month-long celebration featuring specially curated 6-course tasting menus at Muscat's premier dining venues. This gastronomic event will also include participation from other Shangri-La hotels across nine iconic destinations, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, London, Paris, New Delhi, Bangalore, and Istanbul.
In Muscat, culinary enthusiasts can explore a world of flavors at five specialty dining venues: Bait Al Bahr, Capri Court, Chow Mee, Sultanah, and Aangan by Rohit Ghai.
