The Business Improvement District of Coral Gables brings back its signature event that attracts excitement every year amongst locals, tourists and foodies alike, Coral Gables Restaurant Week. For three whole weeks, from June 6th to June 26th, everyone has the opportunity to taste over 40 of Coral Gables’ best fine-dining restaurants with prix-fixe menus at a discounted rate!
To kick off the three-week event, the BID hosts Taste of the Gables presented by Johnnie Walker Whiskey and Bailey’s Irish Cream distributed by Diageo at the luxurious Westin Colonnade Hotel on June 2nd, where guests 21+ can taste mouthwatering bites, savory and sweet, from the participating restaurants of Coral Gables Restaurant Week, including Bulla, Sushi Samba, Swine, Red Koi and The Local, to name only a few. Guests make their way around the Westin Colonnade’s gorgeous marble-tiled fountain rotunda as they visit each restaurant’s table overflowing with delicious plates waiting to be tasted. Enjoy the event’s open bar by presenting sponsors and award-winning brands Johnnie Walker Whiskey and Bailey’s Irish Cream to sip on classic cocktails for the perfect food and beverage pairing. After indulging in the best food Coral Gables has to offer, vote for your favorite dish of the night as the restaurants battle for the renowned and reputable title of “Best TASTE of the Gables”, won by Bulla Gastrobar last year and Uvaggio in 2014. This year, the winner will also get to display the first traveling Spoon trophy for a year. Tickets for this acclaimed event are on sale now for $100.
