One of Denver’s most anticipated food events is back. Denver Restaurant Week returns March 6–15, 2026, bringing 10 days of multi-course prix-fixe menus at some of the city’s best restaurants.
Diners can choose from four price points: $25, $35, $45, or $55 per person. It’s the perfect excuse to try somewhere new, revisit a favorite, or plan a special night out without the typical price tag.
Launched in 2005 by Visit Denver, Restaurant Week was created to support local restaurants during a slower season. Today, it highlights the diversity and creativity of Denver’s culinary scene across neighborhoods from RiNo to Cherry Creek.
How Denver Restaurant Week Works
Participating restaurants offer a special multi-course menu at one of the four fixed price tiers. Most menus include an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, with optional add-ons available at some locations.
Pro tip: reservations fill quickly, especially at the $45 and $55 tiers on weekends. Booking early is key.
