Seattle Restaurant Week has returned, giving diners a chance to explore hundreds of local restaurants at a fraction of the usual price.

Now through May 2, foodies can discover Seattle eateries with curated menus at $20, $35, $50, and $65.

Restaurants can be filtered on Seattle Restaurant Week’s website by neighborhood, cuisine, meal, preference, value, or ownership. They range all the way from Dumpling The Noodle in Green Lake, to a/stir in Capitol Hill, to Café Campagne in downtown Seattle, to Harry’s Beach House in West Seattle, and Rosette in Rainier Beach.

Not only are there restaurants offering discounts in every Seattle neighborhood, but also in the greater Seattle area, including: Burien, Bellevue, Bothell, Des Moines, Edmonds, Everett, Federal Way, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland, Lynnwood, Mercer Island, Mukilteo, Puyallup, Redmond, Renton, SeaTac, Tukwila, and Woodinville.

Seattle Restaurant Week celebrates city’s diverse food culture

This year’s event also published guides to restaurants by theme, such as waterfront dining, cider pairings, and seasonal spring menus. But beyond the great deals, Seattle Restaurant Week has always been an opportunity to celebrate the city’s diverse food culture and the multicultural kitchens that shape it.

“This spring’s Seattle Restaurant Week theme — From Everywhere, For Everyone — is an ode to the vibrant diversity restaurants bring to our city’s tables and the welcoming hospitality they have always provided to our communities,” the event’s website stated. “It’s a moment for all of us, as diners, to celebrate and support people in Seattle’s kitchens of all backgrounds who share their stories of migration and culture through food, and who together make Seattle, Seattle.”

Some restaurants are also taking part in Seattle Restaurant Week’s “Give A Meal” program, donating proceeds from a menu item to help feed people in need. Participating locations can be found by selecting “Give A Meal” in the “Values” filter on the event’s website.
