Prepare to be excited, RAMW’s Winter Restaurant Week is returning to DC from Monday, Jan. 16 to Sunday, Jan. 22. The city’s hottest restaurants will feature special prix fixe, multi-course brunch, lunch and dinner menus to the delight of DC’s devoted foodies. Try foods from all of the restaurants you’ve admired from afar but have been unsure of trying, or revisit your favorite places to experience their exclusive Restaurant Week menus.
“I’m thrilled to oversee my first Metropolitan Restaurant Week cycle as RAMW’s new president & CEO,” says Shawn Townsend, president and CEO of RAMW. “Restaurant Week was created as an economic driver, encouraging loyal diners, newcomers, and visitors to our area to support our restaurants during a slower time for the industry. It has since evolved into a turnkey promotion offering something for everyone with expanded offerings, different ways to dine out or stay in, and the addition of creative beverage pairings.”
From newly opened restaurants to city staples, we’ve rounded up the Restaurant Week specials you simply must try.
