Emirates

Taste of Melbourne is turning the big 10, and to celebrate they’re throwing a massive party at the MCG. But it’s not all gonna be about the food. For the first time, the team have invited designers, artists, and musos to join in on all the fun.

​Happy Straya' day team! We thought we'd really set you up for a day of excellent festivities and the ultimate Aussie party activity - a drinking game! Get stuck in*, celebrate and be thankful for the public holiday.

From pizza to Pad Thai, ceviche to curry, Dubai is nothing short of a paradise for foodies. You’ll no doubt munch your way through the city’s diverse (and delicious) culinary offerings, but there’s one cuisine that deserves more attention than the others—Middle Eastern.

Dubai: it’s one of those places you have to see to believe. From indoor ski slopes to dancing fountains, extravagant brunches and local street eats, beachside cocktails and vertical waterslides, there is so much to eat, see and do in this desert metropolis.

Wouldn’t life be grand if you could jet off every time you felt a Francophilic whim for the wines, cheeses, clothes and culture of France: the fabled land of baguettes and Breton stripes?

Irish cuisine conjures up images of cosy pubs, warming pies, and heady pints of Guinness—it’s the ultimate comfort food, and sure to cure any hunger pain, no matter how intense.

Dublin is a city with an incredibly infectious culture that embraces the arts, food and drink, and ‘great craic’ (that’s local speak for having a good time with your mates)

Pintxos, tapas, raciones, charcuterie, sangria, vino; whatever it is, if it’s about food, drink and the good times, you can guarantee, the Spanish have it locked down.

Hola, Spain! You had us at too-good tapas, endless sangria, fiestas (followed by the requisite siestas), stunning architecture, inspiring landscapes and la buena vida. So many amazing things to do jam-packed into one little country.

The home of pasta. The birth place of pizza. Only in Italy can you indulge in regular carb binges and still feel classy.

Italians: infamous for their love of food and fiery passion for basically everything. From pizza to pasta, architecture and art, seasides and shopping, there isn’t a nook nor cranny of this beautiful country that doesn’t make you want to pack up your things and make La Dolce Vita en Italia.
