It’s that time of year again for food lovers in Charlotte. The winter 2016 edition of the semi-annual Queen’s Feast: Charlotte Restaurant Week is almost here. Beginning Friday, January 22 over 125 restaurants in greater Charlotte will offer a 3-course prix fixe dinner for $30 or $35 per person (not including tax or gratuity).
Queen’s Feast is your perfect opportunity to try a new restaurant or cuisine, or check out a neighborhood you don’t often frequent. The event continues through Sunday, January 31, so you have plenty of time to visit several. Reservations are definitely encouraged.
Reminders:
- The prix fixe special menu is available for Dinner Only.
- Menus are subject to change without notice based on product availability.
- Coupons may not be accepted at some restaurants during Charlotte Restaurant Week.
Check out these menus from the participating restaurants at the Metropolitan, one of our clients and favorite spots to shop, dine and drink:
