The 8th Annual Coral Gables Restaurant Week Presents the Ultimate Foodie Paradise
By Justina Coronel Three weeks of over 40 restaurants offering three-course meal menus? This is the ultimate foodie galore! The 8th Annual Coral Gables Restaurant Week presented by Bacardi USA is showcasing new eateries and returning old favorites while offering several courses served at a total, discounted price. Foodies will have three weeks, from June 8th-28th, to taste their way through Downtown Coral Gables. Downtown Coral Gables is a unique and sophisticated destination that has a variety of restaurants that have an array of fine cuisine. This mouthwatering event will kick off on Thursday, June 4th, and guests can come together for the “Taste of the Gables” launch party. At the Westin Colonnade, 180 Aragon Avenue, from 6:30-8:30pm, foodies will be able to taste samples of Restaurant Week and then vote to select the winner for “Best Taste of the Gables.” The general admission prices are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. But if you are wanting more, look at what VIP has in store. For $55 online or $65 at the door, VIP ticket holders will have access to all General Admission areas, enjoy the Bacardi rum open bar and additional food stations, and will receive a glorious goody bag to take home. This event is 21 and over, so make sure to pair those meals with the official cocktail of Restaurant Week, which is the classic Bacardi rum and Coke. You don’t want to miss this three-week fun-filled adventure where you can frolic around and devour delicious food.
