Austin Restaurant Weeks

Austin Restaurant Weeks

by Events

Date: 08/15 to 09/02 | Location:  Austin, TX

Austin Restaurant Weeks 2019 runs from August 15 through September 2.

Hunger is a serious issue here in Central Texas, where 1 in 6 of our neighbors can’t be sure where their next meal will come from.

You can help by dining out at participating restaurants during Austin Restaurant Weeks, a two-week-long dining extravaganza featuring specially-priced lunches, dinners and cocktails at restaurants throughout the greater Austin area. A portion of the price of each meal comes directly to the Central Texas Food Bank, which can turn each dollar into four meals for our neighbors in need.

Austin Restaurant Weeks is a new annual event that celebrates fine dining at an affordable price, while helping fight hunger in Central Texas. Participating restaurants offer prix fixe menus specially priced for lunch and/or dinner and donate a portion of proceeds from each meal to the Central Texas Food Bank. Some establishments may have cocktail and beer options that also result in donations to the Food Bank.
