Reservations are encouraged, as popular venues tend to book quickly during the promotion.

Visitors from out of town, or locals looking for a staycation, can take advantage of the “Love, Alexandria” hotel package, which offers up to $200 in added value at participating hotels. Details are available at https://visitalexandria.com/lovealexandria.

Alexandria Restaurant Week is held twice each year, in the summer and winter, as part of a regional tradition across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. It not only offers residents and visitors an affordable way to experience the city’s best dining, but also supports local restaurants during a typically slower dining season.

Whether you’re a longtime Alexandrian or visiting for the first time, Restaurant Week is an invitation to savor the flavors, explore the neighborhoods, and celebrate the city’s vibrant culinary community.
