Denver Restaurant Week dates back to 2005, when it was created to highlight the burgeoning culinary offerings across the Mile High City. In an effort to combat a traditionally slow time of year for restaurants, Restaurant Week also helps to boost business across the board from both locals and visitors. Over the course of the past two decades, the week has continued to grow year over year to highlight Denver as a culinary destination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 83 participating restaurants in 2005 to now boasting 300+ restaurants, the 10-day, two-weekend event is a can\u2019t-miss for foodies everywhere. The event represents dozens of types of cuisine, as well as a broad range of price points to ensure everyone gets a taste! Denver Restaurant Week is more than just a one-of-a-kind opportunity to score a good deal on dinner, it\u2019s a citywide celebration of all things creativity, hospitality and the flavors that make Denver\u2019s food scene so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026, Denver Restaurant Week will be held from March 6th through the 15th. The week is hosted by VISIT Denver<\/a> and this year, the Mile High City event is supported by generous sponsors including Blue Moon, Swire Coca-Cola, Uber Eats, and E&J Gallo Winery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Denver Restaurant Week Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denver Restaurant Week features prix-fixe menus at participating restaurants throughout the city and surrounding areas. The concept is simple: restaurants craft special multi-course menus (typically featuring an appetizer, entr\u00e9e and dessert) and set a fixed price that\u2019s typically lower than what customers would typically pay if ordering \u00e0 la carte. Participating Denver Restaurant Week restaurants can select from four price points ($25, $35, $45, or $55)<\/strong> for their menu, which makes this an accessible event for a range of budgets. This transparent pricing structure can make dining out less stressful, while also encouraging exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These pricing tiers make it easier than ever for consumers to compare options and budget ahead of time for a 10 day foodie extravaganza or for one or two meals out. Select restaurants may offer lunch menus and takeout options as well. Others might offer upgraded add-ons, such as wine pairings or premium protein selections, for an additional fee. It\u2019s truly a create your own adventure type of experience and diners can curate an itinerary fit for their budget, tastebuds and even schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This style of multi-course dining encourages guests to explore new flavors, neighborhoods and dining and beverage programs. This is a great opportunity to cast aside routine and try something new without committing to just one course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re looking to revisit old favorites or splurge on a restaurant that you\u2019ve always wanted to try, the options are endless during Denver Restaurant Week. Personalize your experience by creating a playbook to ensure you don\u2019t miss out on the spots that are most appealing to you.
