Each year, we poll thousands of Fairfield County residents for our Best of the Gold Coast awards. We ask readers to vote on everything from their favorite diner and date-night spot, to the best places to buy jewelry and jeans. We tally up the votes, and present them in definitive lists, both for our entire county, and broken down by town.
Here are the top picks for the best markets and catering services along the Gold Coast as chosen by the community. Whether you’re looking for a birthday cake or a butcher shop take a cue from your neighbors and give one of these local favorites a whirl.
