The Newport area is blessed with a host of wonderful dining options from sidewalk cafes in the newly re-developed Broadway area to waterfront dining along America’s Cup Avenue and Thames Street to fine dining in quiet, romantic settings. Much of the food, including seafood of course, is sourced locally. Rhode Island is fortunate to be the home to Johnson & Wales College, which specializes in culinary arts and hotel management along with many other hospitality related academic programs. So, in addition to having many experienced, award winning chefs we have a large pool of up and coming young chefs and hospitality professionals that are looking for new ways to please visitors to Newport, Rhode Island.
