Discover special menus at SLU restaurants through October 31.
Seattle Restaurant Week has returned and it’s bringing delicious dining deals back to South Lake Union. Through October 31, a handful of neighborhood restaurants are serving special menus that make it easy to revisit an old favorite or discover somewhere new.
Organized by the Good Business Network of Washington, the event celebrates the region’s diverse culinary community while supporting local businesses. Participating restaurants offer specially curated menus at a variety of price points, including $20, $35, $50, and $65. Don’t forget, Seattle Restaurant Week is also an easy opportunity to give back to your community. Many SRW restaurants support Good Food Kitchens or other community kitchens to help communities facing food insecurities.
