Even though Alexandria Restaurant Week ended Sunday, diners have another chance to score special menus for a second restaurant week.
Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington’s Summer Restaurant Week runs from Monday, Aug. 24 to Sunday, Aug. 30. Participating eateries have a choice of offering $25 or $35-per-person brunch or lunch menus and $40, $55 and $65-per-person dinner menus. Some restaurants may extend specials beyond the weekend.
Foodies will have the chance to try new eateries or return to old favorites during the next Alexandria Restaurant Week in August.
Alexandria Restaurant Week, held twice a year in January and August, will be held over 10 days from Friday, Aug. 14 to Sunday, Aug. 23. Full-service restaurants will serve prix fixe dinner menus at $35, $45 or $55 per person, and fast casual restaurants will have their own offers.
Alexandria Restaurant Week will run an additional week, after last weekend’s winter storm put many families’ plans to dine out on pause.
The winter restaurant week, originally set to end this Sunday, Feb. 1, will now run through Sunday, Feb. 8. A Visit Alexandria spokesperson confirmed to ALXnow that the weather prompted the organization to extend restaurant week, giving diners more chances to safely visit participating restaurants.
Foodies will have two opportunities to score dining deals from restaurants across Alexandria in the coming weeks.

This week is the peak of restaurant weeks for the season, with both the Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week extended to this week and Alexandria Restaurant Week in full swing.
The Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week has been extended through the end of this week, thanks to the snowy weather last week, giving locals another chance to check out the seven Alexandria locations participating. Restaurant Week involves restaurants having special menus at fixed prices: $25 or $35 for lunch or brunch and $40, $55 or $65 for dinner — which still isn’t exactly cheap, but in some cases is saving at certain local restaurants, and is designed to be an approachable introduction to these restaurants.
