Support local restaurants and indulge in some delicious specials for Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week this spring.

Restaurant Week returns Monday-Sunday, April 7-13 with participating restaurants offering $26, $36, $46 and $56 three-course prix fixe menus. Along with meals, many restaurants will also offer seasonal-inspired cocktails made with Restaurant Week drink sponsors MadTree Brewing, Maker’s Mark, Saratoga Still Water, and SWAY by MadTree.

A dollar from every meal special served during Restaurant Week will go toward Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and organizers will match the first 1,000 meals served by donating $1 per meal. Funds go toward families whose insurance doesn’t cover the cost of treatments, research and growing in-demand programs. Restaurant Week has raised more than $100,000 in the last five years to support these initiatives.

Keep scrolling to see just some of the three-course meal deals we’re excited to try this Restaurant Week. You can also visit greatercincinnatirestaurantweek.com to see all participating restaurants and their menus, plus download the official app. Bon appétit!
