San Antonio foodies have a full calendar of eats with the return of Restaurant Weeks.
Why it matters: The biannual food extravaganza organized by Culinaria spotlights local restaurants, giving diners a chance to try spots they've been eyeing — often at more approachable price points.
How it works: Participating restaurants are offering prix fixe menus for brunch, lunch, dinner — or all of the above — through Aug. 23.
By the numbers: More than 150 restaurants are participating this year.
- Brunch menus are $25; lunch is $20 or $30; dinner ranges from $35 to $55.
State of play: The lineup ranges from relaxed spots like Rome's Pizza and Little Red Barn Steakhouse to upscale destinations like Battalion, Big on the Banks, and Bliss.
- Newcomers like Anhelo Bistro and Anacacho Coffee and Cantina are offering special menus, too.
- The map stretches as far as Spring Branch, where the newly opened Desert Spoon is participating.
- Some restaurants also offer wine or cocktail pairings for an additional charge.
What they're saying: "With summer travel, the heat, and busy schedules, Restaurant Weeks is what everyone looks forward to participating in as both a restaurant and an attendee," Culinaria president and CEO Suzanne Taranto-Etheredge said in a statement.
- "It can become an annual tradition and is the perfect way to try out new restaurants, revisit favorites, and to dedicate time to hanging out."
Pro tip: Make a game plan by browsing all the menus here. Pay close attention to each restaurant's hours, disclaimers and fine print — including policies on splitting checks or menu substitutions.
- Some spots, like Silo, are offering Restaurant Week diners a $20 gift cards for a September visit.
If you go: Expect crowds — reservations, patience and kindness will go a long way.
- And remember, just because the menu is discounted doesn't mean you should tip less.
