Alexandria Restaurant Week: 10 Days to Dine for $35

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Monday, August 15th, 2011

‘Tis the season for restaurant weeks, and while  the RAMW’s 18th annual D.C. Restaurant Week may be kicking off today, Virginia is not without its own summer week of glorious food. From August 19-28, you can patronize your choice of 62 Virginia restaurants and food establishments that are participating in Alexandria Restaurant Week.

Alexandria Restaurant Week was launched in 2009, and this August marks its second time as a summer event.

Participating establishments are offering one of two choices: either a $35 prix-fixe 3-course dinner or a $35 dinner for two. Looking to feast in a particular neighborhood? Take your pick from the following:

-Old Town/Parker Gray (which boasts by far the most participants, including Bastille, Jackson 20, Railstop Gastropub, and Pizzeria Paradiso)

-Carlyle/Eisenhower Valley (e.g., The Carlyle Club and Jamieson Grille)

-Del Ray/Arlandria (e.g., Cheesetique and La Strada)

-West End (e.g., Tempo Restaurant, Mango Mike’s)

or

-Regional restaurants (e.g., Finn & Porter and the Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant)

Many of the Restaurant Week establishments also offer the option of outdoor dining, so let’s hope that the weather remains balmy and mild.
