Restaurant Weeks in Stamford is kicking off this afternoon with the lunch rush, as 27 restaurants open their doors to diners for a 14 day streak of prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus. But City That Eats Works isn’t the only town in Lower Fairfield County showing off its culinary chops this week.
New Canaan is hosting its first ever Restaurant Week, beginning Thursday with a special downtown event, The Taste of Downtown Stroll, which will feature samples of many of the weeks; participating restaurants at booths throughout the downtown area. Restaurant Week will run from Friday, Aug. 26 through Saturday, Sept. 3. And after seeing the lineup, I’ve already started moving around my Stamford Restaurant Weeks schedule to make room for more dining experiences.
The prices in New Canaan are $11.11 for lunch and $20.11 (while Stamford’s vary from $10.11 and $15.11 to $12.11 and $20.11 to $20.11 and $30.11, depending on the restaurant), making some of the nicer restaurants in town a bit easier on the pocketbook. Here’s the list of participating eateries:
- Tuscan
- Fifty Coins
- Cherry Street East Café
- Gates, Plum Tree Restaurant
- Cava
- Roger Sherman Inn
- Thali
- Solé
- The Pine Social
- Kouzina
- Club Sandwich
- Bistro Bonne Nuit.
