Date Set For 2023 Fairfield Restaurant Week

FAIRFIELD, CT — Fairfield Restaurant Week, now in its 12th year, is slated to run from Oct. 23 through Nov. 5, announced First Selectwoman Brenda Kupchick.

More than two dozen restaurants are expected to participate in this year's event, which features special prix fixe lunch and dinner menus showcasing the restaurants' finest culinary offerings.

"Restaurant Week gives our community the opportunity to visit a local favorite or try something new," Kupchick said in a statement. "This annual event is another way the Town can show its support for our local businesses, help our local economy and provide people with an enjoyable dining out experience."

Added Mark Barnhart, Fairfield's Director of Community & Economic Development, "We hope that residents and visitors alike will be able to enjoy and support the many restaurants that Fairfield has to offer."

The 2023 event will again run two full weeks, giving patrons more time to visit their favorite eating establishments.

From the announcement:

Fairfield University is a proud sponsor of this year’s event. “One of the reasons why our students love being at Fairfield is the great selection of cuisine we have through our food service company on campus, but they especially love the diverse restaurants, eateries, and take-out establishments that the Town of Fairfield has to offer,” said Jennifer Anderson, vice president of Marketing and Communications at Fairfield University. “We count ourselves lucky that the University is flanked by two main throughways, both lined with any kind of food you could possibly want, and we know that the mutually beneficial relationship between these restaurants and our students, faculty, and staff is a vital one for both the community and our University. The Economic Development team in Fairfield is committed to promoting the town’s booming food industry and we’re excited to help celebrate during Restaurant Week each year.”

First Selectwoman Kupchick added, “We are very appreciative of Fairfield University’s continued support of Fairfield Restaurant Week.”
