Fadi Kattan

3rd – 7th May

At Fawda in Bethlehem, Fadi Kattan has become the voice of modern Palestinian cuisine.

In the heart of the Old City, the Franco-Palestinian chef and hotelier has developed an elegant, progressive cuisine that pays homage to Palestine’s local terroir in a refreshing, imaginative way that’s totally delicious and unmistakably Fadi.

Later this year Fadi will open Akub in Notting Hill (akub being Arabic for ‘cardoon’, Fadi’s favourite vegetable). To say we’re excited is an understatement. Combining worldly influences, a desire for perfection and a lifelong passion for the ingredients of his homeland, Fadi’s cooking is a thing of deceptive simplicity and beauty.

Fadi’s Carousel menu is no different. A celebration of Palestine’s cities and their unique culinary identities, it’s at once playful (‘Make Your Own Houmous’; Jerusalem), traditional (‘Lamb & Freekeh’ ; Bethlehem) and indulgent (‘Orange Givrée with Mistaka Pistachio Ice Cream’; Jaffa).

You are going to love this.
