What is Kansas City Restaurant Week?
Kansas City Restaurant Week is an annual event that encourages diners to explore new places to eat, along with old favorites.
During this 10-day dining event, local restaurants are offering special prix-fixe menus at set price points, typically $20 or $40.
But the value of Restaurant Week isn’t just in the affordable prices, it's also in the variety of options.
While menus vary by restaurant, most include:
- A multi-course menu, typically with an appetizer, entrée, and dessert
- Options within each course, allowing you to customize your meal to your tastes
- Special dishes you might not see on the regular menu
Menus are designed by each restaurant, giving each place the freedom to showcase what they do best.
