The gist
Austin Restaurant Weeks is a two-week-long annual fundraiser wherein officials from participating restaurants, bars and breweries in the area donate a portion of specially priced meals purchased at their locations to the Central Texas Food Bank.
How it works
Each participating location offers a prix fixe menu with lunch, dinner or libration options. A set dollar donation—between $3-$9—from each meal will be collected, which will go toward providing meals to Central Texans who face hunger on a regular basis, officials announced in a news release Aug. 29. In 2022, Austin Restaurant Weeks raised more than $130,000 that went directly to the Central Texas Food Bank.
The available options include:
- A two- to three-course lunch priced at $20
- A three- to four-course dinner priced at either $40 or $60
- Specialty menu items at various prices
- Tito’s Handmade Vodka-based cocktails at various prices
- Establishment’s choice of beer or wine offered at various prices
Officials said reservations are recommended; however, the Austin Restaurant Weeks menu is offered to everyone—including walk-ins.
