Northeast Florida’s Amelia Island is prepping for its 11th annual Restaurant Week (Jan. 18-27), a 10-day culinary showcase featuring culinary events and fixed lunch and dinner menus at a wide selection of the island’s most popular and award-winning dining establishments.
“The dining scene on Amelia Island continues to evolve, with a growing number of award-winning local restaurants, from five-star dining to beachfront shrimp shacks,” said Gil Langley, president and CEO of the Amelia Island Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’re a small island with a big appetite. For our visitors — and those of us lucky enough to live here — Restaurant Week is the perfect time to get out and have a taste of the island’s wonderful culinary scene.”
The lunch option is $12 per person and includes an entrée, side and a non-alcoholic beverage, while the dinner option (priced at either $21, $31 or $41 per person) includes three courses and a beverage. Restaurant Week will also feature a variety of dining and cocktail-related activities, including a “Salt & Savor” kick-off dinner (Jan. 16) at Salt at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, and a “Sea & Sky” finale event (Jan. 26) at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation.
Nearly 30 of the island’s most popular restaurants are participating in the 2019 Amelia Island Restaurant Week, providing fixed menus for either lunch, dinner or both.
