Jesolo Gourmet Festival
Twelve author dinners with Michelin-starred chefs in Jesolo
About Jesolo Gourmet
Haute Cuisine Across Jesolo's Restaurants
The Jesolo Gourmet Festival is the event that brings haute gastronomy to Jesolo, in the Province of Venice, with an original format: for two consecutive weekends, twelve author dinners are hosted in twelve restaurants in the city, each accompanied by a top guest chef.
Michelin-Starred Chefs and Author Cuisine
The festival brings together some of the best interpreters on the Italian and international scene, many of whom have been awarded Michelin stars. Each evening offers two parallel experiences, with menus ranging from reinterpretations of tradition to the most innovative cuisine, in a journey designed to discover the most gourmet side of Jesolo.
A Format That Enhances Local Restaurants
The distinctive element of the event is the choice not to set up temporary structures: the guest chefs cook directly in the kitchens of the restaurants hosting them, in dialogue with local restaurateurs. This solution enhances the local restaurant network and offers the public exclusive dinners in real city locations.
Jesolo Gourmet — edition 2026
The second edition of the Jesolo Gourmet Festival is scheduled for two consecutive weekends: May 15-17 and 22-24, 2026. Each evening, with service starting at 8:00 PM, two parallel dinners are held in as many restaurants in the city, for a total of twelve author dinners.
Among the featured chefs are highly acclaimed names such as Peppe Guida (Antica Osteria Nonna Rosa, Vico Equense), Anthony Genovese (two Michelin stars, Il Pagliaccio, Rome), Massimiliano Delle Vedove (Smoked Room, Madrid), Jonathan Brincat (Malta), Tina Marcelli, Isa Mazzocchi, and Andrea De Lillo.
