The story

Anguilla Culinary Experience in Restaurants and resorts across Anguilla

A five-day, island-wide dine-around festival spreading events across Anguilla's resorts, restaurants and private villas, pairing visiting chefs with local Anguillian talent and funding hospitality training for young islanders, held each May since its 2022 debut, and grown steadily in scope and reputation with each passing year since it began.

The Anguilla Culinary Experience, known locally as ACE, has grown since its 2022 debut into a five-day, island-wide celebration of Anguilla's dining scene, deliberately built around a dine-around format rather than a single central venue.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

ACE's dine-around structure, deliberately spreading events across the island rather than concentrating them at one resort, is what sets it apart from typical culinary festivals, it's designed to steer visitors toward homegrown restaurants alongside marquee properties

02

The mystery stays covered

Its à la carte ticketing also means guests build a personalized week rather than following a fixed schedule, and its funding of local culinary training gives the festival a lasting community impact beyond the week itself
