Akawi talked about his pride in being able to present Gault&Millau to the market while building on ITP Media Group’s history of introducing world-renowned publications in the Middle East.

ITP Media Group CEO Ali Akawi said, “Gault&Millau is not coming to the UAE as the country’s cuisine is world-class now,” he said. “It is because it has been world-class for many years.”

Esquerré of Gault&Millau said that the brand is a part of the fabric of the F&B sector located in France and was looking forward to witnessing the same thing in the UAE.

He further stated that its primary purpose was to find talented chefs and restaurants teams and make the general public aware about them.

Veryat, who gave his speech in French, talked passionately about Gault&Millau and how it changed his life after the brand found him in the 1980s and rocketed his career.

He was a big supporter of talent himself and was confident the same could be done in the UAE.
