Let's Eat, Erie!

VisitErie's fifth annual restaurant week kicks off on Friday, Jan. 17 and features its largest host of participating locations yet. Sixty-four eateries will provide specials, deals, and new menu items to entice visitors during a notoriously slow month.

BEGINNING FRIDAY, JAN. 17

Coming down from the fast-paced nature of the holiday season, restaurants have often found the month of January to be a notoriously slow period. In our own home kitchens, we may face something similar.

To combat these common issues, Erie Restaurant Week is returning for its fifth year and will run from Jan. 17 through Jan. 26. The nine-day event is put on by VisitErie to promote local businesses in the Erie area while also creating a unique dining experience in our more well-known or chain locations.

During this time, many restaurants will offer special menus, pricing, and accommodations specific to your dining needs.

Since its inception in 2020, Erie Restaurant Week has seen a steady increase in participation from many of the delicious eateries our city has to offer. This year, 64 restaurants will be participating. To showcase how far the event has come, VisitErie's Director of Communications Christine Temple stated, "The first year we had 19 restaurants and this year is our largest ever."

More than a dozen new restaurants will be participating this year, including but not limited to: Avanti's Restaurant, The Boardroom Dining & Spirits, Bro Man's Birria N Burger Joint, Edinboro Hotel Bar, Five Iron Golf, Give a Crepe/La CrepErie, ippa Pizza, Mi Scuzi Italian Ristorante, Mound Grove Golf Course, Oasis Pub, Taco Cantina, Triple D's Tastey Grill, and more.

Friday, Jan. 17 through Sunday, Jan. 26 // Hours vary per venue // For a full list of participating restaurants, visit: visiterie.com/restaurant-week/
