Participating restaurants will offer special two- and three-course prix fixe menus for lunch and dinner. Menus will be priced at $15, $25, $35, and $45 per person, plus tax and gratuity.

"The different price points allow diners to choose a menu that works for their budget while giving each restaurant the opportunity to highlight some of their favorite dishes," Brendan McGrew, Restaurateur and Director of Operations for Voracious Hospitality Group, which includes The Goat’s Beard and Mia Ragazza, said. "It also makes dining more affordable, allowing visitors to try a few different places throughout the week-long event."

Discover a brand-new eatery or revisit a longtime favorite, with cuisine options ranging from American comfort classics to global flavors, fast-casual bites to fine dining, and everything in between—including indoor and outdoor dining experiences.

Restaurants on board so far include Bar Jawn, JD McGillicuddy’s Manayunk, Lucky’s Last Chance, Manayunk Brewing Company, The Goat’s Beard, Tubby Robot Ice Cream Factory, SOMO Manayunk, Yanako, and Zesty’s. A list of participating restaurants is below.

"After the return and success of our Fall Restaurant Week, we knew it was a great way to highlight our chefs, our diverse flavors, and some of the newest menu items our restaurants added - as we begin to get ready to welcome the warmer weather," Manayunk Development Corporation Executive Director Gwen McCauley said.
