San Francisco’s Restaurant Week launched today with a lot of deals—and a lot of firsts.
Not only is this the first-ever Spring Restaurants Week, it’s the first time a record-breaking more than150 restaurants are participating, and the first time Off the Grid is partnering with the Golden Gate Restaurant Association (which hosts the annual event) to spread the word.
The spread this year, which includes some Off the Grid Creators, also is more diverse, with 24 Chinatown businesses and the recently-opened La Cocina Municipal Market added to the mix.
Through Sunday, April 18, participating restaurants and food vendors will offer special deals that allow diners to go out and experience all the city has to offer. Special prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus will be available for safe on-site dining, takeout, or delivery.
Lunch menus are 2 or more courses set at $10, $15, or $25. Dinner menus are three or more courses set at $25, $45, or $65. You can head here for the full list of menus, which can be sorted by price.
