One of the best things about festivals is often the food. After all, festivals focused solely on food have popped up across the country from New York to L.A. In additon to the Festival Cafe (more to come soon!) Treviso Restaurant on the Ringling Museum grounds will offer fresh ingredients blended into dishes that will make your taste buds dance. In addition to being open 11 a.m.-11 p.m. every day of the festival, Treviso will also serve up a Sunday brunch–every Sarasotans favorite–on Oct. 11. I hope to share some recipes from the chef soon.
For patrons wanting a more casual lunch between performances, grab a bite to eat at the Banyan Café and dine beneath the banyans. If you are in the mood for some culinary explorations beyond the Museum gates, you are in luck. The area is home to some highest-rated restaurants in the country.
And, by the way, you can actually hit up Disney World’s Food and Wine Festival before or after the Ringling International Arts Festival. Orlando is just a hop-skip-and-a-jump from Sarasota/Bradenton.
