Reputed Chefs prepared regular as well as exotic fusion items using all local traditional and new ingredients of the state. Renowned restaurants and caterers of the city had partnered with the Government to bring their diversified cuisine in a unique interactive setting where anyone can see, eat and buy.

While jaggery rasgullas, a winter speciality, are selling like hot cakes at sweet shops in the city, visitors to the food festival were found satiating their taste buds with the new rasgulla variant after feasting on Russian and Chinese cuisine.


Other Activities

To add flavor, the festival hosted ethnic and cultural programmes with folk songs, modern bangla song, dance to be rendered by eminent artists like Shibaji Chattopadhyay, Sriradha Bandyopadhyay, Dona Ganguly on a three side open stage which enabled the visitors to enjoy the cultural programme while savoring gourmet food.
