Exceptional Value, Remarkable Flavors
For seven days, more than 20 of the area’s favorite eateries—ranging from historic colonial taverns to modern, upscale bistros—will offer specially curated, multi-course prix fixe menus. Whether you are looking for a quick, gourmet lunch or an elegant three-course dinner, the event is designed to offer a “taste of everything” at a fraction of the usual cost.
Participating restaurants typically offer:
• Lunch/Brunch: $15 – $25
• Dinner: $35 – $55 (often featuring 2-3 courses)
Why You Should Go
Restaurant Week is more than just a discount; it is a celebration of Greater Williamsburg’s culinary evolution. It provides the perfect excuse to finally book a table at that upscale spot you’ve been eyeing or to revisit a long-time local staple like the 1607 Grill or Blue Talon Bistro. With menus featuring everything from fresh Chesapeake Bay seafood to globally inspired fusion, there is something to satisfy every palate.
Plan Your Culinary Tour
Because this is one of the busiest weeks for local dining, reservations are highly recommended. Many restaurants fill up weeks in advance as foodies flock to the city to take advantage of these exclusive deals.
