The eagerly awaited Atlantic City Restaurant Week returns this week for its 15th year, offering visitors dining deals at over 50 restaurants in Atlantic City and the surrounding area. The region’s iconic culinary celebration of its diverse dining scene runs through Friday, Oct. 6.

This year’s Atlantic City Restaurant Week features exceptionally priced three-course prix fixe menus at $20.23 for lunch and $40.23 for dinner. Showcasing the best in local flavors, authentic AC dining experiences, and eclectic menus, the six-day event gives visitors the opportunity to experience a wide range of cuisine and try some of AC’s landmark restaurants such as Dock’s Oyster House, Knife & Fork Inn, and newest spots including Cardinal, Good Dog, La Strada at the Shore, Linguini by the Sea, Superfrico at The Hook.

Many of the area’s finest and most popular restaurants participate in the event, offering diners delicious meals all week long. Tax, gratuity and beverages are not included. All meals are value priced and would normally cost significantly more.

“Atlantic City Restaurant Week has become one of the most popular dining events in the region,” CRDA Director of Communication and Marketing Karen Martin said. “We are proud to offer this signature culinary experience to our visitors for another fall, one of the most amazing times of the year to enjoy Atlantic City – just a short drive away.”

During Atlantic City Restaurant Week, area restaurants take advantage of fresh, seasonal food and produce when designing their menus. From fine dining to more casual fare, the event will feature seafood, steakhouses, celebrity chef restaurants, gourmet Italian, Asian fusion, authentic Mexican, and more. Whatever your taste, there is a Restaurant Week menu for everyone to enjoy.

There are also eateries participating in Restaurant Week for the first time, including Chickie’s & Pete’s at Tropicana and the recently opened Provenza Restaurant in Ventnor. Other Downbeach restaurants participating this year include Bocca Coal Fired Bistro in Margate and PJ Buckets in Ventnor.
