East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District (EPABID) presents the 12th Annual East Passyunk Restaurant Week starting Monday February 26th through Friday March 8th. Nearly two dozen award-winning restaurants along Philadelphia’s most famous restaurant row will fire up specially priced three course prix fixe lunch and/or dinner menus for $20, $30, $40 and/or $55. Dishes will range from signature long-time favorites to exclusive new dishes making their restaurant week debut. Settings range from indoor to outdoor, fine dining to casual, intimate to energetic, BYO to cocktail bar, and everything in between.

Menus, hours and price points are now live at  www.visiteastpassyunk.com/restaurantweek. For reservations, contact each individual restaurant through their phone, website, Opentable or Resy. Follow @eastpassyunk on social media for teasers and Restaurant Week updates.

“East Passyunk Restaurant Week is designed to showcase the wide diversity of restaurants, chefs and menus up and down the Avenue,” said EPABID Executive Director Rebecca O’Leary. “As the new Executive Director, I am thrilled to see so many award-winning restaurants of all sizes and backgrounds stepping up with menus that bring together Avenue favorites from over the years with new and exclusive dishes debuting just for this event. For foodies, this event is truly a win-win.”

O’Leary added, “East Passyunk’s food scene is one of the most diverse and unique in the city, with dozens of restaurants serving up Vietnamese, Indian, American, Italian, Mexican, British, French, Southern, Dutch, Spanish, Jamaican and so much more. You can take a tasting trip around the world in six blocks with our celebration of global cuisine. I like to think of East Passyunk’s Restaurant Week as your passport to all those amazing flavors.”

From BYOBs to James Beard nominees, East Passyunk Restaurant Week is the chance to experience a diversity of dining styles on one of the “Top Ten Foodie Streets in America.” Special menus cover everything from intimate upscale dining to pub food favorites, and represents a variety of ethnic flavors, from French and Filipino to Northern European and Italian. East Passyunk Avenue Restaurant week is the perfect excuse to try something new, return to a longtime favorite, or do both.
