Preview San Antonios Culinaria Restaurant Week August 16 23rd!
The week of August 16-23, San Antonio area foodies will celebrate one of our favorite food-related events! Every August, Culinarias San Antonio Restaurant Week spotlights the best restaurants in San Antonio. Our city is quickly developing a vibrant restaurant scene -- and this is the week the best restaurants in the city have a chance to show off their signature menu items! This week-long event is the perfect opportunity to try popular new restaurants, restaurants you’ve always wanted to try out...or even a restaurant thats a familiar favorite. Theres literally something to suit every palate and every price range! Restaurants all over the city will offer three-course prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus in three different pricing tiers:- $15 lunch and $35 dinner
- $10 lunch and $25 dinner
- Restaurant Week on The Move: $8 lunch and $15 dinner
Restaurants run the gamut from casual eateries to upscale fine-dining...and everything in between. For me, San Antonio Restaurant Week is the perfect time to try out a new-to-me restaurant and try three menu items for a great price. Most menus include an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Michael and I will be visiting at least one restaurant next week, and well be sharing the experience for this months The Weekend Gourmet Dines Out feature. You can visit the Restaurant Week website ahead of time to scope out each restaurants special menu to see which one grabs your attention. The menu from Two Step Restaurant & Cantina especially caught my eye!
1st Course:
Advance reservations arent required, but theyre a good idea since the most popular restaurants tend to fill up quickly. Simply call any participating restaurant directly to make reservations. Continuing this year is the popular Restaurant Week on The Move event, which features the best food trucks in the city. Its fun event is casual and family-friendly. It will take place this year on August 19th at Travis Park from 11oo a.m. - 200 p.m. Some of the participating food trucks include Chef Jason Dadys popular DUK Truck, Cheesy Janes, and Saweet Cupcakes.
