It is that time of the year again. DC Winter Restaurant Week. Here is the gist of it. Restaurant Week consists of the best DC area restaurants offering a 3 course prix fixe meal for $20.10 for lunch and $30.10 for dinner. Restaurant week is from January 11-17, 2010. So making a reservation at your favorite restaurants is a must as they fill up.
Here are my tips for a great restaurant week
- Pick a restaurant that has the full menu for restaurant week
- Stay away from the Steak Houses – They are usually lame
- If the restaurant has a Restaurant Week menu look at it on their website before reserving a spot.
- Try a new restaurant – Restaurant Week gives you the opportunity to try new and interesting cuisines.
- Have fun! – Order a glass of wine with dinner.
Here is my list of restaurants. All of them serve the lunch and dinner prix fixe unless otherwise noted. I have provided links to check for reservations. The links are set to look for open tables starting Jan. 11.
