When Is Restaurant Week In Chicago

Temperatures in the teens and wind chills below zero can’t stop Chicago Restuarant Week.

The 17th annual Chicago Restaurant Week takes place Jan. 19 through Feb. 4 of 2024, with more than 380 restaurants – 20 of them Michelin-rated.

Reservations and menus for the 17-day event went live last month, according to officials.

“Chicago Restaurant Week reflects the passion and vitality of our restaurant community,” President and CEO of the Illinois Restaurant Association Sam Toia said in the release. “Celebrations like this give diners the perfect reason to explore every single pocket of the city and finally get to that spot they’ve been wanting to try – all while bringing essential business to restaurants during Chicago’s winter season.”

According to Choose Chicago, participating restaurants span 31 Chicago neighborhoods. 46 suburban restaurants are also included, organizers said.

Restaurants that participate in Chicago Restaurant Week offer curated, prix fixe menus with prices set at either $25 for brunch or lunch, and $42 or $59 for dinner. Beverages, tax and gratuity are not included.

Finding the best Chicago Restaurant Week Deals

Restaurant Week deals vary between three different price points – $25, $42 and $59. Between the hundreds of menus in dozens of Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs, picking a place for dinner or lunch may be a bit overwhelming.

That’s why a Chicago Reddit user put together a spreadsheet detailing potential savings, costs and more.

The post, which was shared in a Subreddit dedicated to Chicago food, is done annually for Chicago Restaurant Week, mirroring ones seen in previous years, and is often hailed by residents.

“The hero we all need,” one user wrote.

In an effort to help categorize the best deals, the spreadsheet breaks down the offerings into a handful of different categories including “Top $59 dinners,” “Top $42 dinners,” “Top Brunch” and more. It’s based on each restaurant’s “Restaurant Week” menu “compared to their current menu.”

“The best deals are decided based on whether you are definitely going to save money, definitely going to overspend, or whether you could save or spend depending on your choice,” the user wrote, noting however that accuracy cannot be guaranteed and diners should check with restaurants to confirm details first.

According to the spreadsheet, the “Top $59 Dinners” – or rather, the Chicago Restaurant Deals that offer diners the most value – come from Nia, Tanoshii, Girl, and the Goat and Boka.
