Taste The Orient
About this Event
Taste The Orient is a week-long festival created by The Orientalist Spirits in partnership with the team behind London Cocktail Week.
Registration is free. No tickets. No wristbands. No fixed price point. Just pick up your Festival Guide from any of the participating bars and explore.
It brings together a carefully selected line-up of exceptional Asian bars and restaurants across London - each one rooted in a story worth telling.
Inspired by The Orientalist Spirits' 6,000-mile search across Asia for rare ingredients, remarkable places and flavour traditions worth going out of your way for, the festival invites you to embark on your own journey of discovery - uncovering a broader, richer and more authentic view of Asian taste across the capital.
