Fairfax, VA – Food lovers across Northern Virginia are gearing up for the return of Fairfax City Restaurant Week, a 10-day celebration of the city’s diverse and growing culinary scene. Running from February 27 through March 8, the 2026 winter edition will feature 23 restaurants offering curated, fixed-price menus designed to showcase the best of local dining.
Participating restaurants represent a wide range of cuisines — from Italian, Korean, and Japanese to Latin American, Irish, and Middle Eastern — giving diners a chance to explore both new favorites and beloved neighborhood staples. The event offers prix-fixe meals at approachable price points, including $25 brunch and lunch options and $40 three-course dinners. Some venues will also feature “Two-for-$10” or “Let’s Work Together” specials aimed at encouraging community participation.
“Restaurant Week is a time to shake off the stress of freezing temperatures and school closures,” said Fairfax City Mayor Catherine Read. “Our city restaurants have something to offer everyone. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner from around the world are close by and waiting for you to discover them.”
Among the participating restaurants are Baku Delicious, Bellissimo Restaurant, Big Buns Fairfax, Dolce Vita Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, Hamrock’s Restaurant, Kelly’s Oyster House & Bar, The Auld Shebeen, Tandoori Fairfax, and Wine House, along with an array of international eateries and local breweries.
