With pocketbooks lighter from the holidays, it’s a good thing that Alexandria Restaurant Week is around the corner.

Nearly 100 restaurants are participating from Jan. 31 to Feb. 9, by offering multi-course dinner menus for $30-to-$50 per person in neighborhoods across the city.

“Alexandria Restaurant Week showcases the inventiveness of local chefs and international cuisine in neighborhoods throughout the city, including Old Town, Old Town North, Del Ray, Carlyle and Eisenhower, Arlandria-Chirilagua and the West End,” says Visit Alexandria.

Deals include a $30 dinner for one or $50 meal for four at Benny Diforza’s Pizza in Del Ray, a $50 dinner for one at Thompson Italian and a $30 dinner for one at Tequila & Taco.

Restaurant Week is held every summer and winter and was created in 2009 by Visit Alexandria.

Visit Alexandria also posted a digital menu from participating restaurants.

Bon appetit!
