Want a fine-dining dinner for $39? Here’s when to find deals
It’s been part of Texas’ summer for 22 years, and all Dallas-Fort Worth is grateful.
DFW Restaurant Week is a chance to try more than 100 fine-dining restaurants for $39 or $49, and part of each ticket goes to the Lena Pope Home children’s agency or to a Dallas-area food bank.
Reservations are now open for Restaurant Week. The official week is Aug. 5-11, but some restaurants extend the dining promotion through Labor Day.
For $39 or $49, you get a three-course dinner in a restaurant where that would usually cost much more. The typical savings is about $20-$30, plus part of the money ($8-$10 from each dinner) goes to charity.
(That last part is important. Several “restaurant week” promotions have copied DFW Restaurant Week, but it remains the most successful and also the most generous to charity.)
Several of the restaurants also will offer a $25 two-course lunch special, with $5 going to charity.
Some of the most popular Fort Worth-area restaurants :
▪ B&B Butchers & Restaurant offers a choice of seven entrees, ranging from a filet to chicken, salmon, pasta, a pork chop and even a surf-and-turf combo with filret medallions and two bacon-wrapped stuffed shrimp (Aug. 2-Sept. 1, $49, $10 to Lena Pope Home; there’s also a $25 lunch).
