Get your own taste of entomophagy — the practice of eating bugs! Try bug-filled dishes prepared by local chefs while learning about the health and environmental benefits of this crunchy (and surprisingly delicious) practice. Café Insecta has been the center of BugFest since the event started more than 20 years ago and each year it just keeps getting better.
Opening at 10am and closing when the food runs out — come early and vote on your favorite dish. Museum Members get to use the Fast Lane, so join today!
Participating Restaurants
Every year Café Insecta plays host to adventurous chefs from all over the Triangle who try their hand at crafting a dish using insects. Chefs hand out samples of their dish to up to 3,000 event guests, who then vote on their favorite concoction!
A comprehensive list of participating restaurants is forthcoming. Please check back for updates!
