Home

Hudson Valley Restaurant Week offers an extraordinary opportunity for restaurants to showcase their best creations, attract new patrons and delight regular customers. Now in its sixth year, it has become the valley's largest, most successful dining event. Last year an estimate 200,000 guests dined out at the 159 participating restaurants. We invite you to participate in 2012 and urge you to register early. Register online now, or download and return the registration form by mail.

How It Works...

During Restaurant Week, participating restaurants offer a three-course, prix-fixe dinner menu for $29.95 per person (plus tax, beverage and gratuity) and may offer a three-course lunch menu for $20.95 per person (plus tax, beverage and gratuity). Participants also offer their regular menus. It is recommended that restaurants offer three options for each course, i.e., three appetizers, three entrees and three desserts. Menu items should be representative of the restaurant in both portion size and quality. We encourage restaurants to feature local Hudson Valley products on the menu and offer assistance in sourcing products and ingredients. Visit Hudson Valley Bounty; download the Local Products Guide.

What diners say:

"We love Restaurant Week. My wife and I plan to eat out at least every other night during the next two weeks and maybe meet for lunch too! We have made reservations at 4 restaurants we have been to before."

-- D. Przytula

"I think that Restaurant Week is a wonderful way to treat the community to places they may not have otherwise patronized. The exposure many of our restaurants gain as a result helps to boost revenue during the summer, and often carries us all through the winter. I'm quite proud to be a part of this event from both the patron and restaurateur perspectives. Well done!"

-- C. Bates
