Antigua and Barbuda has announced the first edition of the annual Antigua and Barbuda Restaurant Week.
The event will take place from 7 – 21 May this year and will celebrate the destination’s food, people and culture.
Visitors can expect a variety of delectable cuisine across a range of restaurants at prix-fixe, discounted prices, celebrity chef appearances, and special events.
The 14-day gastronomical adventure is hosted by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority.
Guests can look forward to “Eat Like A Local” featuring Antigua and Barbuda’s local, home-cooked food and national dishes.
The grand celebration will take place on 21 May 21 2023, during Restaurant Week’s ‘Food & Art Experience’.
There will be entertainment, tapas-styled tastings from participating restaurants, speciality cocktails, rums, wines and spirits with local art and paintings as the backdrop.
Antigua and Barbuda’s Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation and Investment, The Honourable Charles Fernandez, said:
“Antigua and Barbuda Restaurant Week is an open invitation for you, your family and friends to come and join us at dining tables across the country.
“Sit back, relax, laugh, enjoy our hospitality and a truly divine foodie experience presented by a team of amazing culinary artists and hosts.
“From our restaurants to local food spots, Antigua and Barbuda has some of the best food experiences you can find, and we are extremely excited to finally showcase our culinary side to the world.”
CEO of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, Colin C. James, said:
“Restaurant Week will be strategically positioned right off the heels of the prestigious Antigua Sailing Week Regatta for the purpose of extending the country’s peak season.
“The latest culinary addition to our destination calendar of events forms part of the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority’s strategy to develop Antigua and Barbuda as a year-round destination with the goal, to awaken and stimulate slower summer months with events and activities that can be enjoyed by all.”
