Food. People. Culture.
What is Antigua and Barbuda Restaurant Week?
A unique Antiguan and Barbudan gastronomical experience poised to titillate your senses. Spanning 14 days, the inaugural Antigua and Barbuda Restaurant Week will celebrate one of the destination’s best qualities – its restaurants, its food, it's people and culture. Diners can expect a variety of delectable cuisine, offering visitors and nationals an opportunity to experience special menus and/or experiences at prix-fixe (discounted) prices across a range of restaurants.
During the fourteen-day food experience diners can also enjoy specialty cocktails, live entertainment, dine-around tours, celebrity Chef lectures and chef cook-offs and the Food and Art Experience.
​​
Why Host Restaurant Week in Antigua and Barbuda?
​
The A&B Restaurant Week is strategically positioned right off the heels of our annual Sailing Week Regatta for the purpose of extending the period well into the end of May which is usually a time where most restaurants and businesses close for the end of season. Our goal is to awaken and stimulate our slower summer months through our food and beverage industry, fused with events and activities that can be enjoyed by all.​
​
​
How it works?
​
-
All eating establishments are eligible to participate, including restaurants, including hotel restaurants, bars, cafes, as well as street vendors.
-
Participating establishments must provide one unique menu and/or experience at a fixed price over the course of the promotion. You may choose from one of the following price points: USD $25, $50, or $75 for any menu/experience.
-
Your prix fixe menu can include whatever format works for you, whether that is an in-house three-course meal, selection of small plates, or a cocktails-and-taco special, or food combined with any unique experiences. Prices do not require a discount and can be per person or inclusive of multiple servings.
-
You can offer the dining option of your choice, including in-house and outdoor dining, takeout, and delivery.
Eat Like A Local
Share our unique food, culture and warm hospitality with others
Eat Like A Local is similar to the Japanese Nagomi culture, where local hosts open up their homes to visitors seeking to experience local Japanese food and culture.
​
The Antigua and Barbuda Restaurant Week Eat Like A Local promotion gives local Antiguans and Barbudans who own local restaurants, local food spots or simply enjoy cooking meals and entertaining guests an opportunity to share their own local experience with others.
​
Meals are either lunch or dinner and are served at a price not exceeding $15 USD or $40 XCD.
