Mid-Winter Restaurant Week Announced in Fairfield

FAIRFIELD, CT — Fairfield’s Restaurant Week has become so popular that town officials are planning a mid-winter version.

First Selectman Mike Tetreau announced Monday that in response to popular demand, Fairfield will sponsor a mid-winter restaurant week called “Dine Out Fairfield!” during the week of Feb. 27 through March 5.

More than 30 restaurants are expected to participate in this week-long event with special prix fixe lunch and dinner menus showcasing their finest culinary offerings.

“Fairfield is pleased to sponsor Dine Out Fairfield! to help celebrate Fairfield’s vibrant restaurant scene and its many quality restaurants,” Tetreau said in a press release. “Fairfield Restaurant Week, held each fall and now in its 6th year, has been a tremendous success, and has quickly become an annual tradition. We have heard both from the public and from restaurants that Fairfield should offer Restaurant Week more than once a year, and we’re happy to oblige.”

Fairfield Community and Economic Development Director Mark Barnhart, who will plan this event, added, “One week didn’t seem like enough. Dine Out Fairfield! will give the public an opportunity to get out and visit old favorites or try someplace new. This week-long event is another way that the Town can show its support for our local businesses, help our local economy and provide people with an enjoyable dining out experience.”

Full-service restaurants wishing to participate in Dine Out Fairfield! or businesses interested in sponsorship opportunities should contact Barnhart at (203) 256-3120 or at mbarnhart@fairfieldct.org for more information.
