Explore Pasadena dining with Restaurant Week

Restaurant Week will be a great time to explore Pasadena dining, as some of the city's best eateries offer special menus and great deals to visitors for the annual event.

Pasadena's reputation as a dining destination has been steadily growing. MyLife.com named Pasadena the best mid-sized city for dining in the country.

The event, which returns May 6-10, features a selection of restaurants, from old favorites to newly opened eateries, for Southern California diners to try.

Each year it grows stronger, adding restaurants to its docket and drawing Southern California diners to its chefs. In addition to the Restaurant Week success, Pasadena has added on a Cheeseburger Week event in January, and a SIP-Tember Bracket Challenge that takes place in August and September. SIP-Tember focuses on cocktails made by Pasadena establishments, and the four finalist cocktails compete for the title of Pasadena’s Favorite Cocktail at the Taste of Pasadena event at the Rose Bowl.
