"Westport has always been a food destination for the metro with esteemed chefs and so many choices steps from each other in this charming historic district. Thus, it made sense to feature some of the more diverse restaurants during International Food Week to satisfy foodies and help others expand their horizons," said Lexie Boyd, Special Events Manager of the Historic Westport District.
A culinary adventure awaits at Westport’s International Foods Week – the district where the locals go. Restaurant open times vary; dine-in reservations are recommended at Chewology and Chingu.
