8 Portsmouth Eateries to Participate in NH Restaurant Week

Eighteen properties on the Seacoast will take part in the first ever statewide Restaurant Week in New Hampshire from May 18-25.

Restaurants will serve three-course prix fixe menus to foodies looking for sweet dining deals and tantalizing discoveries as they “try something new” at restaurants they’ve never dined at before. The eight-day event, hosted by the New Hampshire Lodging & Restaurant Association, features over 150 properties across the state, and restaurants presenting lunch and/or dinner at three price points.

Participating restaurants from the Seacoast include:

• 401 Tavern, Hampton
• Common Man, Portsmouth
• Drift Away, North Hampton
• Epoch Restaurant & Bar at The Exeter Inn, Exeter
• Galley Hatch Restaurant, Hampton
• Grill 28 Restaurant at Pease Golf Course, Portsmouth
• Harbor’s Edge at Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside, Portsmouth
• Margaritas Mexican Restaurant, Dover, Exeter and Portsmouth

• Savory Square Bistro, Hampton
• Surf Seafood, Portsmouth

“New Hampshire’s Seacoast has some of the most unique and refreshing dining options in the state,” said Mike Somers, president and CEO of the NHLRA. “We think Restaurant Week is the perfect time for people to go out and try some of the restaurants they haven’t had the chance to try yet. We’re certain that a lot of foodies will be impressed by what New Hampshire chefs are planning for the event.”

Not only is the NHLRA encouraging residents and visitors to try a few different restaurants in their own neighborhoods, but Restaurant Week “foodie getaways” are geared toward dining fans looking to feast on three-course meals in other areas of the Granite State. Significant discounts on lodging can be found at 18 participating hotels around the state.
