The Idea
Not a weekend.
Not a festival.
A whole month.
Oxtober transforms October into a month-long culinary celebration where participating restaurants showcase exclusive oxtail dishes, special menus, collaborations, and experiences.
For diners, it's an invitation to discover restaurants, experience new interpretations of oxtail, and celebrate the cultures that have made the dish iconic around the world.
