Move follows successful launch of Folia at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay
Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed’s plans to change the hospitality and food service industry by introducing vegan options on menus in restaurants is on its way to Dubai. Folia, the consultancy and teaching partnership between vegan chef Matthew Kenney and Prince Khaled’s KBW Ventures, recently introduced a vegan menu at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay. Prince Khaled, known for his vegan lifestyle, said Folia is currently “in talks” for its Dubai debut. “We’re hoping to make it happen soon,” he told Arabian Business. “It is in the works, and we’re confident about the reception as we know the market opportunity here for Folia is massive. I see our Dubai customer base as being primarily made up of two segments: the UAE has a huge vegan community, and there are a huge number of foodies as well – experimental diners who want to broaden their palates.”
