You'll taste the world here in San Antonio. There are German bakeries. Mexican cantinas, French bistros and Italian trattorias. Flour from age-old European millstones becomes a morning's crepes or an afternoon's tortilla. Texas beef meets Mexican family recipes. Hill Country wines prove a silky foil to smoky chipotle. Acclaimed chefs bring their world class training back to our blossoming culinary landscape.

Major Culinary Festivals

Where there is good food, there are great food festivals. Dozens of food festivals take place all year long in San Antonio, but these are the biggest.
FIESTA: Aromas of fajitas, German bratwurst and Peruvian anticuchos smoking on a grill are crowd pleasers during Fiesta (April) -- the festival's street food is legendary.
CULINARIA: Food aficionados also call for fine cuisine and wine. San Antonio's Culinaria (each May) was named one of the top ten food festivals in the United States by Vanity Fair. 
RESTUARANT WEEK: This citywide smorgasbord (each August) has quickly turned into a hugely popular event since its debut in 2010. Details are here once they become available.

Dinner Onboard a River Cruise

One of the most enchanting ways to see the River Walk: A delicious three-course meal served aboard a river cruiser. Join a  "community" dinner cruise orchestrated by Boudros, one of the most popular restaurants on the River Walk. Your dining partners will be a suprise and you may make new friends. Advanced reservations are required.  Learn more
