More than a dozen cuisine types offered during Restaurant Week

-

Foodies on a budget can dine like royalty during the upcoming Center City District Restaurant Week in Philadelph­ia. Roughly 100 participat­ing restaurant­s will provide prix-fixe, three course menus, with prices capped at $60 per person for top-end service. Here’s everything else you need to know about Restaurant Week in Philadelph­ia.

Dishes that won’t break budget

Restaurant Week in Philadelph­ia begins today and runs through Feb. 3.

According to the Restaurant Week website, dinner is available for $45 per person at most restaurant­s, with a premium $60 option at select locations. Two-course lunch menus are $20.

“We need to continue to support our restaurant­s as they are a vital part of our downtown economic engine,” said Michelle Shannon, vice president of marketing and communicat­ions for Center City District, in a statement. “As always, we encourage everyone to come for dinner, but stay for everything else.”

Chefs will prepare dishes with an internatio­nal flair — Asian, Brazilian, Caribbean, Cuban, French and Indian cuisine are just a few of the worldwide offerings — and will be joined by other chefs specializi­ng in regional cuisines from across the country.

Luckily, there is a sortable tab at the bottom of the Restaurant Week site in which foodie can narrow — or widen — their palate. The full list of participat­ing restaurant­s can be found there. Reservatio­ns for Restaurant Week can also be made through OpenTable.

Mixto Restaurant­e, which offers Caribbean, Cuban and Latin American cuisine, took to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to announce its participat­ion and encourage reservatio­ns. Yakitori Boy, an izakaya and karaoke lounge in the Chinatown district, also took to X to showcase its Restaurant Week in Philadelph­ia menu.
