D.C.’s annual Summer Restaurant Week debuted 23 years ago and takes place this year Monday, Aug. 18, through Aug. 24, featuring a Jazz theme.
This year the event includes more than a dozen restaurants new to the promotion, more than 40 of the 2025 Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington RAMMY winners and finalists, and a well-represented list of Michelin restaurants — both star ratings and Michelin guide recommendations.
D.C. currently has 26 Michelin-starred restaurants, more per capita than any other U.S. city, including New York. Restaurant Week is a chance for patrons to sample those award-winning restaurants and chefs, in many cases at a fraction of the price.
There are three-course menus for brunch, lunch and dinner plus wine and cocktail pairings to complete your meal.
