Hungry? A record number of DMV area restaurants are participating in the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington’s Summer Restaurant Week from August 12 to 18 — and 75 are in Virginia.
As part of the promotion, participating restaurants will offer prix fixe deals that run between $25 and $35 for lunch and brunch or $40, $55, or $65 for dinner.
More than 350 restaurants are participating across DC, Maryland, and Virginia — but the Northern Virginia options in particular make it easy to enjoy a fine dining experience close to home.
Celebrated restaurants like modern American 2941 in Falls Church, Ambar Clarendon, and Joon in Tysons are among the popular eateries offering three-course meals at reduced prices.
“We put a lot of love into our restaurant week menus, which showcase seasonality with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients,” says Joon chef-owner Chris Morgan.
Diners get the option to select their choice from curated menus of starters, entrees, and desserts. It’s a great way to explore old regional favorites, as well as some of the many new restaurants in the area. One such newcomer is Surreal, which opened in National Landing late last year.
“We are so excited to participate in Restaurant Week because as a new restaurant in the area, we have a wonderful opportunity to introduce our brand new concept to the ever-growing National Landing,” says Amber Potter, general manager at Surreal. “We really hope to see a lot of new and returning faces during Restaurant Week that will love our restaurant just as much as we do!”
These deals are in high demand, so now is the time to reserve a table for lunch, brunch, or dinner. Here are a few of the standout restaurants participating in Restaurant Week.
