Dining out locally and helping an area charity will go hand-in-hand with the return of Louisville Restaurant Week, February 24-March 2, 2025. This dining out focused week will encourage locals to experience Louisville’s lively culinary scene with a prix-fixe three-course menu for $26, $36, $46, and $56 at participating restaurants. In addition, one dollar of every meal purchased during Louisville Restaurant Week will be donated to Feed Louisville.
“Participating in Louisville’s Restaurant Week offers locals a unique opportunity to explore and enjoy our diverse culinary scene. By dining at participating restaurants, residents not only contribute to our independent restaurants – but also contribute to the local economy, support small businesses, and help sustain jobs within our community,” said Cleo Battle, President and CEO of Louisville Tourism, in a press release. “We are also proud to partner with Feed Louisville, a vital resource to our community, making Louisville Restaurant Week a win-win for everyone involved.”
Feed Louisville’s kitchen diverts food from being thrown away and repurposes it into meals to send out to the homeless and food insecure community. Their Food Rescue Program allows restaurants, caterers, and other licensed food producers to donate viable, safely held food that we incorporate into our daily production of hundreds of hot and hearty meals. These meals go directly to the streets or people experiencing food insecurity each day.
Louisville Restaurant Week is an excellent opportunity for local foodies to get out and experience firsthand why Travel + Leisure proclaimed Bourbon City one of “The Best Food Cities in the U.S.” and Southern Living named Louisville one of the “South’s Best Food Cities.”
Returning is the Louisville Restaurant Week app, available for download in the App Store and on Google Play.
