Everything you ever wanted to know about Vermont Restaurant Week

Q. What is Vermont Restaurant Week?

A. During Vermont Restaurant Week (schedule TBA) participating restaurants will offer special, prix-fixe menus showcasing their chefs’ greatest dishes. Those menus will feature multi-course dinners (e.g. appetizer, entreé and dessert) priced at $20, $30 or $40 per person. Select restaurants offer discounted breakfast, brunch or lunch menus that are usually $10 or less. The week also includes a special calendar of special, food-themed events.

Q. How does Vermont Foodbank benefit?

A. 10% of the proceeds from sponsorships and 100% of special event admissions will be donated to Vermont Foodbank. Click here for more info on making a donation.

Q. How do I know what each restaurant is serving for their prix fixe menu?

A. As restaurants submit their menus to us, we’ll post them on the site for your convenience. Also, a printed menu guide will be published as an insert in Seven Days newspaper and distributed at Vermont Federal Credit Union branches throughout Vermont.

Q. Do the prices ($20, $30 or $40/person) include taxes and tip?

A. Beverages, taxes and tips are not included. Please remember to tip generously based on what the bill would have been without the discount.

Q. Do I need to make reservations?

A. We strongly suggest calling ahead and inquiring about reservations especially for weekend meals. Please be sure to mention that you are coming for “Restaurant Week.”

Q. Which restaurants are involved?

A. Participating restaurants can be found under the “Restaurants” tab. As new locations sign on, we’ll be adding them here.

Q. I’m a restaurant owner, how do I participate in Vermont Restaurant Week?

A. Contact Colby Roberts, the Seven Days Sales Director, for more information. He can be reached at 802-865-1020 ext. 117 or via email.
