About Chicago Restaurant Week
What is Chicago Restaurant Week?
Chicago Restaurant Week is a member-based program designed to promote the restaurant industry and drive traffic to participating establishments during a typically slow time of year. For ten days, diners can enjoy value pricing for lunch and/or dinner at dining establishments throughout the city.
Chicago Restaurant Week 2012 proved to be the most successful Restaurant Week yet. With 265 participating restaurants throughout Chicagoland, we saw an increase in participation over last year by 28%. The impact of the promotion was more than $20.9 million in direct spending in Chicago area restaurants, serving 444,000 diners over the course of ten days.
Organized by Choose Chicago, Restaurant Week gives local foodies and visitors an opportunity to enjoy prix fixe menus from more than 250 participating restaurants ($22 lunch, $33/$44 dinner).
A spectacle of Chicago's finest culinary talents, Chicago Restaurant Week 2013 will remind diners why Saveur Magazine named Chicago "America's new culinary star."
