Restaurant Week Returns: October 13-19, 2013

* Dining * Prizes * Cultural Events *

Visit Fairfield during the week of October 13 and see what we have to offer! We've got a new twist on restaurant week - not only do we have fantastic restaurants with excellent specials for this week, but local venues are also participating with activities and things to do all in our great town.

Restaurants from around Town will participate in this week-long special event that will feature prix fixe lunch and dinner menu prices. Restaurants will feature $10 and $15 lunches and $20 and $30 dinners or other discounts on their already existing menus.

First Selectman Mike Tetreau said, "Fairfield is fortunate to have a wide variety of quality restaurants that we want to showcase. Restaurant Week gives the public the opportunity to continue visiting favorite places or frequent ones they may not yet know about. This week-long event is another way the Town can show its support for our local businesses, help our local economy and provide people with an enjoyable experience. We encourage residents and visitors alike to join us in this special town event!"

The Town has partnered with a number of businesses, community groups and organizations to conduct a variety of cultural events and other activities throughout Fairfield during Restaurant Week. Fairfield Community and Economic Director Mark Barnhart stated, "We wanted to high-light things to do in Town, as well as places to eat, to create more of a 'night out' experience." He added, "The Town appreciates the support of our community partners such as the Fairfield Public Library, Fairfield Theatre Company, Fairfield Museum and History Center, the Fairfield University Bookstore, the Fairfield Sportsplex, Fairfield University, and Sacred Heart University for featuring a spectacular array of events and activities in conjunction with Restaurant Week."
