Welcome to Dining in DC’s dedicated page to DC’s Summer 2011 Restaurant Week, August 15-21, 2011. Listings of participating restaurants extensions, as well as, special notes and commentary about participating DC Restaurant Week menus will be posted below. Some of the hottest new restaurants are participating this summer. See the official DC Restaurant Week page to see participating restaurants, and to make reservations.
This year for the first time ever participating restaurants will have their DC Restaurant Week lunch and dinner menus available on the reservation page! What an improvement! I am so glad that the sponsors are finally getting on board with how important the menus are to diners! Now I can have a break and enjoy my summer! Hooray for progress!
In the event that various restaurants choose to participate in the promotion, but do not use Opentable.com, I will post their menus here.
Prices are as follows for 2011: Lunch (3 courses $20.11); Dinner (3 courses $35.11) both not including tip and gratuity. For more information: RW Tips and how to get the most bang for your buck and previous Top Ten Restaurant Week picks. Updated 2011 DC Restaurant Week Top Ten picks will be updated. Stay tuned!
The official RW is just 7 days but many DC restaurants extend their promotions an extra week or sometimes an entire month. Stay tuned for a listing of those extensions.
Remember: Restaurants that offer their full menu are considered the best deal. The restaurants that already offer prix fixe menus or pre-theatre menus all year-long, such as Oya or Cafe Atlantico, you can take advantage of anytime. In addition, restaurants that offers any small-plates/tapas/mezze, are all great, but already generally offer good deals year-round. Some restaurants offer only limited selections, or include various surcharges (sometimes called supplemental fees) for some of their better dishes – these should be avoided.
