CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The area's favorite mid-winter pick-me-up returns Friday, January 18, through Sunday, January 27, 2019, as Queen's Feast: Charlotte Restaurant Week features 133 restaurants in 9 counties offering three-course, prix fixe dinners for just $30 or $35 per person.
Diners can now visit CharlotteRestaurantWeek.com to view the list of participating restaurants and their special Queen's Feast menus and make reservations.
Since 2008, the semi-annual promotion has helped introduce or reintroduce residents and visitors to restaurants around the metro area, now including participating establishments in Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Rowan, Iredell, Lincoln, Gaston, Catawba, and York counties.
The purpose of Charlotte Restaurant Week is to drive trial business at mid- to high-end restaurants by extending a good value to diners as an incentive to experience these establishments and their three-course menus showcasing the restaurants' offerings. Each 10-day promotion is viewed as a festive time in the area during normally slower periods for the restaurant industry, providing perfect opportunities for group outings and date nights.
The January 2019 event features more than a dozen first-time Queen's Feast restaurant participants. Among them are 37Sol Southwest Kitchen & Tequila Bar and TapHaus49 in Southwest Charlotte; Basilico's in Concord; YUME Ramen Sushi & Bar and Zeppelin in South End; Dilworth Tasting Room; the new Bistro La Bon-Cotswold; the new location of Lily's Bistro in Lake Wylie; and McAdenville Table & Market in Gaston County.
