San Antonio's Culinary Heritage
Welcome to the Culinary Capital of Texas
San Antonio might just be the world’s largest kitchen. Our culinary heritage derives from European and Mexican traditions of generations ago. Today, we blend that heritage with new, homegrown talent for a food and drink scene bursting with originality, bold flavors, and Tex-Next fun.
Here, heritage meets culinary innovation. And we have the accolades to prove it. In 2017, UNESCO designated San Antonio a Creative City of Gastronomy, signifying the city’s status as an international culinary destination. So, arrive hungry. Pull up a seat. And, come eat with us.
What is the UNESCO Creative Cities Network?
UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network promotes international cooperation and encourages the sharing of experiences and resources to promote local development through culture and creativity.
How many U.S. cities have obtained this designation?
As of 2023, San Antonio is one of only two cities in the entire country with this designation.
Where can I learn more about the UNESCO Creative Cities of Gastronomy?
