Celebrate the New Year with Galveston Restaurant Week
Foodies in South Texas will be pleased to know that Galveston’s restaurant week is much longer than 7 days.
If you’re looking to delight your palate, come discover the art of dining during Galveston’s nearly month-long restaurant week, from January 17 – February 13, 2022. The event has become a beloved local tradition, featuring discounted prix fixe menus from a wide variety of Galveston’s best restaurants.
It’s easy to participate; there are no tickets to buy. Simply take your pick of participating restaurants and dig in! Reservations are highly recommended, as this event is popular with visitors and locals alike. Prices for 2- or 3-course menus are $20-$45, while 2-course breakfasts, brunches, and lunches will be $10-$20, depending on the restaurant.
This is also your opportunity to give to local charities. When ordering select menu items, a donation of $1-$5 will be donated by the restaurant and distributed to local community groups. The charities are Access Care of Coastal Texas, Galveston Urban Ministries, and St. Vincent’s House; all who focus on supporting the nutrition and health of local children and families.
