San Antonio's River Walk is getting its own culinary spotlight with a restaurant week event, just in time for graduation season.
Why it matters: More than two dozen restaurants from Southtown to River North are offering specially priced, prix fixe menus until Sunday, showcasing the city's culinary scene with waterfront views.
How it works: Prix fixe menus are available for $25 lunches, $35 lunch or dinner or $45–$55 dinners at more upscale restaurants. All of the menus have three courses.
- Diners can download a digital passport to earn points at each stop. Points can be redeemed for sweepstakes entries to win prizes like gift cards, tickets to VIP events and more.
- $1 from each prix fixe menu sold benefits the San Antonio Hospitality Foundation, which supports scholarships for culinary and hospitality students at St. Philip's College and the University of Texas at San Antonio.
- This River Walk event is separate from the long-running Restaurant Weeks organized by Culinaria.
The vibe: Expect everything from white-tablecloth, special occasion spots to hidden neighborhood gems.
- Otro, Tokyo Cowboy, Four Brothers Southern Provisions, Range, Tre Trattoria and Elsewhere are participating.
- Recently-opened restaurants like Moda Fare and Isidore are also on the list.
Between the lines: UTSA and St. Mary's University graduations this weekend could make the River Walk a popular spot.
What they're saying: "This is more than a week of great meals — it's a celebration of culture, creativity, and community," Mario Bass, interim president and CEO of Visit San Antonio, said in a statement.
