Priding itself as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, Anguilla once again dazzles with an unforgettable celebration of flavor, creativity, and island charm at the Anguilla Culinary Experience, April 30 to May 4, 2025.
This year’s festivities kick off at the iconic Malliouhana with “Taste the Magic of Malliouhana.” The resort’s Culinary Dream Team, led by celebrated chef Kerth Gumbs, crafts a menu blending modern flair with Anguilla’s culinary heritage, inspired by its trio of signature restaurants and local BBQ favorites. A peak into the menu reveals signature dishes like sunset pork kebabs in sweet peppercorn sauce, chicharron baos, and a delightful-sounding dessert of chocolate and burnt blackberry named “far away tree.”
On Thursday, Savi Beach Club transforms into a Roman escape with “Bacchus Feast,” an indulgent evening of gourmet Italian fare, live music by Sugar Apple Band, and signature cocktails. Highlights include a hand-torched Cacio e Pepe, a meatball fountain, and decadent desserts under the stars.
Friday invites guests to dive deeper into Anguilla’s culture with interactive experiences: making Johnny Cakes, ceviche classes, a scenic Moke tour, and a spirited island rum crawl.
Over the weekend, a series of intimate chef dinners await. Culinary stars such as Sébastien Barrière, Doug Psaltis, Hsing Chen, and Carrie Bogar serve up innovative menus in stunning seaside settings, paired with selections from Grands Vins de France and Boisset Collection.
The grand finale? Sunday’s NCBA & Cape Air Beach BBQ. Local grill legends fire up island favorites while the Anguilla National Culinary Team competes in a fiery Chef Basket and Bartending Battle. Guests join the fun with trivia games and creative kids’ crafts.
Between bites, beach lounging, and culinary adventures, ACE 2025 offers a vibrant taste of Anguilla’s 35 square miles of magic—one unforgettable plate at a time.
