Back by popular demand, it's time for RESTAURANT WEEK FOR PORTSMOUTH and THE GREATER SEACOAST (sorry for yelling – this is an epic week).

As a Portsmouth resident, it's so easy to go to the restaurants I know and love over and over again. I know my comfort food, the bartenders that know me, etc.

Restaurant Week, which officially begins on April 20, 2023, is an opportunity for individuals to try new restaurants, support local businesses, and expand their guilty pleasure of eating out.

Restaurant Week is actually a little over one week, running from April 20 – 29 according to the restaurant week website.

The concept is sound, if you are unfamiliar. The participating restaurants offer prix-fixe lunches and dinners at a very reasonable cost. All costs are the same at every restaurant.

Lunch is $25 per person, not including tips or drinks. This price will actually be applicable at select restaurants for dinner also, according to the website.

Dinner is $48 per person. Similarly, this does not include tip or drinks. This tradition is a fun one for locals, so make sure to tip your servers well.
