Restaurant Week

Explore 45 of the city’s best dining establishments for a fraction of the cost this week as Restaurant Week Baton Rouge continues. Diners will enjoy special three-course menus at fixed costs ranging from $15 to $35 per person. The deals end Saturday, Jan. 24. But the delicious food and desirable prices are not the only things participants in the semi-annual citywide event can feel good about—a donation of $5,000 will be presented to the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank on behalf of the diners, sponsors and participating restaurants. Reservations are highly recommended.
