Presented by the Pasadena Chamber, Pasadena Restaurant Week is a citywide event featuring the cuisine of many of Pasadena’s top dining establishments and local favorites. Participating restaurants will offer at least three fixed price dinner and/or lunch menu items for visitors. Dinners will be three-course meals while lunches will be two course meals. Depending on the venue and menu offered, meals will be priced at $26, $35 or $44 for dinner or $15, $20 or $25 for lunch. Some restaurants will offer special meal deals or discounts instead of (or in addition to) prix fixe meals. (Some prices may vary, depending on the venue. Alcoholic beverages, gratuity and tax are not included in the price unless specified by the individual restaurants.)

This year the Pasadena Restaurant Week website has been completely revamped to include portals to help patrons locate restaurants based on location, cuisine and/or price. In addition, visitors to the website will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite restaurants in a variety of categories. Visitors to the website can also sign up to be entered in a drawing to win several prizes that include dinners at participating restaurants, discounts and gift certificates. The Pasadena Restaurant Week website can be found at www.pasadenarestaurantweek.com.
