Al Habtoor Group Vice Chairman and CEO Mohammed Al Habtoor inaugurated Dubai's largest and newest catering facility - Metropolitan Catering on 12 July 2016 in the presence of local media and VIP clients.

Following the ribbon cutting ceremony, guests were taken on an exclusive tour alongside a mouth-watering array of refreshments presented by Director of Culinary Chef Paul Hage and his team.

The multimillion-dirham investment made by the Al Habtoor Group marks start of a new era for Metropolitan Catering, including the rebuild and fit-out of its new state of the art kitchens.
