Loosen your belt loops, Dine L.A. Restaurant Week is back.
Beginning Friday –– and running through August 28 –– special prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus will be available at 45 different Santa Monica restaurants. It’s the perfect excuse for local foodies to skip the sad desk lunch and finally book that dinner reservation.
“Dine L.A. Restaurant Week is a fantastic celebration of Santa Monica’s chefs and dedicated professionals who make our destination so dynamic,” says Misti Kerns, president and CEO of Santa Monica Travel & Tourism.
The citywide eating extravaganza runs the gamut from casual coastal bites to big-ticket, special-occasion dining, with menus ranging from $25 to $65+.
That means your next meal could involve a brisket at Bludso’s, sushi at Sugarfish or perhaps a perfectly cooked filet at BOA Steakhouse.
“By choosing to dine locally, residents and visitors are not only enjoying a memorable meal, they are lifting up the hospitality community that gives our city its heart,” Kerns adds.
