DFW Restaurant Week is one of the most anticipated dining events of the year, and there's no better place to experience it than the Dallas Design District. From elevated Italian and modern Mexican to glamorous supper clubs and chef-driven favorites, the District is home to some of Dallas' most celebrated restaurants, many of which are participating in this year's event.
Running August 10 through September 7, with many restaurants also participating in Preview Weekend (August 6-9), DFW Restaurant Week gives diners the opportunity to enjoy specially curated prix-fixe menus while supporting a great cause. Approximately 20% of the price of each meal is donated to the North Texas Food Bank or Lena Pope, making every reservation an opportunity to give back.
Whether you're planning a date night, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for an excuse to try somewhere new, here are the Dallas Design District restaurants participating this year.
