After the (private) opening ceremony tonight the first Taste Festival will open its doors to the public tomorrow on June 2nd. Until Sunday the 10th there will be special dinners events, concerts, performances, screenings, an exhibition and much more all in the name of food and design. This concept by the Direktorenhaus is quite new and innovative and after all those pop-up restaurants, performance dinner and supper clubs it was about time to bring the experience of eating to a new level. After the jump we picked some highlights of the festival as well as some preview images to wet your appetite.
