Culinary Contentment
Danbury Restaurant Week Oct 9-15.
Almost two dozen City Restaurants will offer a special price menu for your Culinary Contentment. Eat out before or after one of the many Cultural/Arts events scheduled for the second week of October. Restaurant Week is your opportunity to try as many restaurants as your schedule allows for one incredibly low fixed price, your chance to give it a try with the security of knowing exactly what you will be spending. Restaurant Weeks happen several times a year in towns all over Connecticut as well as an annual state-wide week. Usually both lunch and dinner are fixed price menus offering several courses.
A prix fixe menu
Danbury Restaurant Week takes place October 9 – 15, 2017Simply a menu of pre-determined items presented as a multi course meal (typically an appetizer, entree and dessert) at a set price. Please keep in mind that beverage, tax and gratuity are not included in the special pricing. There may be some restaurants that do offer a beverage, consult individual menus for specifics.
