The Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association and Discover The Palm Beaches have partnered to launch the first Restaurant Week. Restaurant week is an event designed to showcase local hotels & restaurants. Participating restaurants offer reduced or fixed price menus, so customers can try many different types of food that may normally be out of their price range. Typically, it is mid- and upper-range establishments that join restaurant week, but any restaurant can take part in the event. Restaurant week appeals to locals and tourists alike, and most operations that participate see increased traffic during the occasion. The Palm Beach promotion also includes area hotels. Get ready for some delicious dining starting August 16-31, for the inaugural kick-off Palm Beach Restaurant Week.

Hotels will participate by offering Food & Beverage credits, staycations and dining packages, along with value-based specials.
