Experience a Culinary Journey Throughout Fairfax City

From August 22 to 31, 2025, Fairfax City will once again host its much-anticipated Restaurant Week, offering locals and visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the diverse culinary landscape the city has to offer.

This year marks the fourth summer edition of the event, which provides diners with ten full days to explore an exciting variety of dining options. Originally popularized in winter, the summer version introduces an expansive menu of international flavors—from Azeri dishes to Italian classics, Caribbean specialties, and much more.

The event promises something for everyone, whether you’re craving a hearty steak, a delicious lobster meal, or a unique Asian cuisine experience. Many participating restaurants will feature prix fixe menus at affordable prices: brunch and lunch set prices start at $25, while a three-course dinner can be enjoyed for $40. Additionally, special deals such as a “Two for $10” offer will be available at select establishments.

Mayor Catherine Read expressed her excitement, stating, “Summer Restaurant Week gives us a reason to break out of our dining routine and try something new. With longer days and warmer weather, there are enticing experiences both indoors and outdoors all over the city. It's an opportunity to treat everyone from kids to out-of-town visitors at local restaurants that deliver a wealth of cuisines.”
