About Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week

With some of the nation's best know chefs, restaurateurs and rising culinary stars helming eateries in our region, Metropolitan DC is known for its restaurants. One of the most highly anticipated food-related programs in the region, Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week is a week-long celebration of area restaurants and the diversity of world-class cuisine. For local diners, Restaurant Week is an opportunity to experience new flavors, explore restaurants in different neighborhoods or visit old favorites. For visitors to the area, it’s an opportunity to experience many of the best of our regional restaurants without breaking the bank.

Restaurants in the promotion offer 3-course menus for lunch at $25, dinners for $40 and $55, or if you love a good brunch, enjoy menus at $25.

Participating restaurants use the promotion as an opportunity to “WOO” new patrons and “WOW” returning patrons. 90% of surveyed Restaurant Week diners say they are likely to return to their Restaurant Week picks and even more say they’ll recommend them to others. On the official Restaurant Week site, RWDMV.COM, diners can view the full list of participating locations, make reservations, view menus and sign up for RW Diner Rewards.

Diners who want to show off their plates and/or favorite dishes during Restaurant Week are encouraged to post pictures of their delicious eats to Instagram using the hashtag #RWDMV and tagging @ramwdc (don't forget to tag the restaurant too!). RAMW often reposts diners who take and share fabulous shots.

Restaurant Week is held twice per year - winter and summer - with the dates being announced at least 4-weeks ahead of the start of the promotion to the public via press notice, on RAMW's social media platforms and RWDMV.com. Restaurants voluntarily opt into the promotion and post their menus to RWDMV.com once they have determined their offerings.
