The latest edition of Restaurant Week offers a rare treat: more than a month of cut-price dining at selected restaurants countrywide. It kicks off on September 29 ending on November 5, offering epicurean feasts over 38 days at 130 participating restaurants around the country. Booking opens on Friday and this very popular initiative means you must book early to enjoy discounted dining at your fave eatery.

All reservations for Restaurant Week must be made online to receive the discounted dining option. No telephonic bookings will be accepted by participating restaurants.
