Taste of Buffalo

The Taste of Buffalo, presented by Tops, is the largest two-day food festival in the United States. It began in 1984 with 22 restaurants on Main Street and has doubled in size, growing to its permanent home on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo, NY. In a city known for its regional specialties and long-standing culinary traditions, the Taste of Buffalo is an annual celebration of the foods that made Buffalo famous, as well as new additions to our regional menu. So yes, you’ll find chicken wings, beef on weck and charbroiled hot dogs at the Taste, as many Buffalonians fondly call the event, but you may also get to sample chicken tikka masala, Jamaican patties, gazpacho, Pad Thai, pierogi, and many other dishes brought to Buffalo by newer arrivals from around the world. The Taste’s menu is eclectic, inventive, and sure to please every palate.

The mission of the Taste of Buffalo is to promote the City of Buffalo and showcase the greater Buffalo area restaurants and businesses by providing an affordable and enjoyable weekend festival that takes place in an inclusive and socially responsible manner for all.
