It’s the most wonderful time of the year — if you live in the Washington, D.C. area that is. That’s because from Janury 15–21, 2024, it’s Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week, a bi-annual event held throughout the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia each winter and summer. Whether you’re lucky enough to live in the DMV or are just passing through, it’s a great way to try out new restaurants and revisit old favorites for a fraction of the cost.
This season’s specials include $25 and $35 prix fixe lunch and brunch menus, and $45, $55 and $65 special dinner menus. Here’s a look at all the places that’ll be participating — pace yourselves, we’ve got a lot to work with this time around.
