Greater Cincinnati diners will have a chance to explore dozens of restaurants and support a local cause during Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week, set for Sept. 21-27.
The event features specially priced three-course lunch and dinner menus at participating restaurants across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, according to a community announcement. Diners can choose from menus priced at $26, $36, $46 or $56, with $1 from every meal benefiting Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
Restaurant Week organizers say the event is designed to encourage residents to discover new dining destinations, support local restaurants and sample curated menu offerings at accessible prices. The weeklong promotion highlights a wide range of cuisines,
from steakhouses and seafood restaurants to taverns, bistros and international dining destinations.
Prizes available through Restaurant Week app
Participants who check in at three restaurants during Restaurant Week will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize package that includes $300 in gift cards and additional prizes, according to the announcement.
The attendee who earns the most points during the week, while also completing three restaurant check-ins, will be named Cincinnati’s “Biggest Foodie” and receive $300 in gift cards and additional prizes. Extra points can be earned through restaurant visits and qualifying specialty cocktail purchases for guests 21 and older.
