Priding itself as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, Anguilla marries local and international culinary talents with fresh and locally sourced ingredients to create curated dining experiences at the Anguilla Culinary Experience from April 30th to May 3rd, 2025
The epicurean journey begins at one of Anguilla’s top resorts with an opening night party that boasts a menu combining dishes from six of the resort’s top restaurants and inventive cocktails featuring ingredients from the resort’s onsite organic farm and hydroponic gardens. Over the next three days, sumptuous chef’s dinners, unique island experiences, a culinary cook-off, and multiple raffles with swanky prizes will be held.
Here are some highlights from the 2024 edition of this Caribbean culinary event:
On Friday, James Beard Award-winning chef Zachary Engel of Michellin-starred Galit and chef Carrie Bogar presented a tasting menu merging Engel’s Middle Eastern flavors with Bogar’s Cuisine of the Sun. Each course of the bespoke menu was paired with wine from vintner Grands Vins de France.
Saturday offered a chance for visitors to spend the night at the cabaret as local performers took to the stage for Savor, Soirée & Sensation. Before the visual spectacle, visitors feasted on an East-Meets-West dinner from Chef Dario Schiavo, a celebration of Anguilla’s bountiful seafood and Schiavo’s Japanese and Italian influences.
On Sunday, guests attended the BBQ on the beach where they watched a fiery cook-off between members of the Anguilla National Culinary Team as they take on a mystery basket cooking challenge. One lucky raffle winner joined the judges as a guest taster.
Between these exciting events, guests can enjoy other unique experiences such as learning how to make traditional Johnny Cakes, harvesting salt from a natural salt pond, or simply relaxing on one of the island’s 33 beaches and exploring Anguilla’s 35 square miles of magic.
