Pittsburgh Restaurant Week Is Here — Jan. 12–18!

Food lovers, mark your calendars: Pittsburgh Restaurant Week is happening now through Sunday, January 18, with an early access weekend that already kicked off last Friday. This city‑wide dining celebration puts more than 50 local restaurants in the spotlight with special prix‑fixe menus and creative offerings just for the week.

From casual eats to elevated dining experiences, Restaurant Week gives you a chance to try new places or revisit favorites across a range of cuisines — think Mediterranean, Italian, BBQ, Japanese and more, all around the Pittsburgh region. Participating spots often offer three‑ or four‑course menus at set prices, which usually end up being less than ordering à la carte.

Some restaurants even design exclusive dishes just for this week, so it’s a great excuse to get out, explore downtown flavors, and support local eateries during the January slowdown. Whether you’re grabbing a lunch special with coworkers or planning a date night downtown, there’s plenty to taste and talk about.

Pro tip: make reservations early!
