As Summer arrives in New Orleans, so does the most delectable time of the year — Restaurant Week! The culinary extravaganza returns June 19 through June 25, featuring 73 of the best restaurants in the city that will offer specially priced multi-course curated menus.
If you’re a true foodie, Restaurant Week is the perfect event to indulge in a taste of New Orleans without breaking the bank. Famous eateries like Antoine’s, Commander’s Palace, Galatoire’s, and Muriel’s Jackson Square are featured in this year’s lineup.
Prices vary by restaurant with lunches starting at $20 and dinners starting at $39, not including drinks or tips. In addition to savory lunch and dinner options, some participating restaurants will also feature brunch offerings.
Shrimp and Grits (GF) from Muriel’s Jackson Square – Slow cooked stone ground grits, topped with Louisiana Gulf shrimp, leeks, smoked tomato butter sauce, and crispy garlic.
If you’re serious about embarking on this culinary adventure, make sure you sign up for the Restaurant Week New Orleans Pass. It’s a mobile-friendly passport that allows you to check in to participating restaurants and earn cool prizes like a cutting board, a cookbook, and more. It’s completely free! All you have to do is sign up and the pass will be texted and emailed to you when Restaurant Week starts on June 19.
Be sure to not miss out on one of the tastiest weeks in the city. Aside from COOLinary, which returns in August, Restaurant Week is one of my favorite foodie events. It’s a prime opportunity to ball on a budget while savoring your way through the city.
