Baltimore City annouces the dates for 2016 Winter Restaurant Week

Visit Baltimore informs us, “Hungry patrons can take advantage of this opportunity to explore their own backyards and try new cuisines each year. Restaurants offering lunch will feature a two-course, prix-fixe menu for $15 or $20 (not including liquor, tax or gratuity). For dinner, a three-course, prix-fixe menu will be offered for $25 or $35 (not including liquor, tax or gratuity).”

I know it is hard to think winter when summer is just behind us. Possibly the freezing temperatures last night will put us in the correct mindset.  Getting restaurant reservations during Winter Restaurant Week will heat up starting Friday, January 22nd and concluding on Sunday, January 31, 2016.  A number of restaurants do extend the promotion but that won’t be posted until we are in the promotional dates.

Restaurant week is a combined effort of Visit Baltimore and Downtown Partnership of Baltimore to promote our restaurateurs during the slower weeks of the year. 

Not all participating restaurants will offer BOTH lunch and dinner prix-fixe pricing, and some restaurants do exclude weekends. 

The official website is still reflecting Summer Restaurant Week but will change soon with a full list of the participating restaurants -  www.baltimorerestaurantweek.com.
