Kenosha Restaurant Week is almost here. And that means an opportunity to celebrate local chefs, restaurateurs and food makers.
The annual celebration of local dining will take place Feb. 18 through Feb. 26 and will showcase over 50 restaurants, pubs and food shops in Kenosha County, including eight newcomers.
“Restaurant Week is a way to support locally owned businesses that make up our community’s dining landscape,” states Dennis DuChene, President of Visit Kenosha.
“Many are family-owned and multi-generational businesses. Supper clubs, diners, gastropubs, cafes, upscale eateries, and restaurants with international cuisine are among the many places offering special deals and discounts. We invite everyone to come see what’s available here – and to continue to Dine Local all year long.”
During Restaurant Week, guests can visit participating restaurants and enjoy a variety of discounted menu items and special offers for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. No special tickets or coupons are needed. Diners can also watch for opportunities to win restaurant gift cards and Restaurant Week merchandise on Facebook and Instagram.
Guests are also encouraged to extend their support for the Kenosha community by considering a donation to local hunger relief organizations and nonprofit Restaurant Week Partners including the Shalom Center, The Sharing Center or the Kenosha County Food Bank. Donations to one or more organizations can be made online.
For a full list of participating restaurants, as well as their special Restaurant Week menus, head to Visit Kenosha. A printable guide to restaurants and offerings is also available.
“Kenosha is so special because we have so many non-chain establishments,” a diner noted in the 2022 Kenosha Restaurant Week Guest Survey. “We’re supporting local businesses, charities, and families in one week. Love the opportunity to make Kenosha shine.”
