(WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Chicago Restaurant Week is returning Jan. 24. If you plan on taking advantage of the deals, WBBM has you covered what’s new this year.
Participating restaurants will offer a range of brunch, lunch and dinner deals, beginning Friday, Jan. 24 through Sunday Feb. 9. However, this year, those prices have slightly increased.
The bunch and lunch offerings have gone up $5, from $25 to $30. Dinner prices have rounded up to $45 and $60 (compared to $42 and $59 last year).
Choose Chicago, who organizes Chicago Restaurant Week, says that there are over 70 new restaurants participating this year.
Newcomers to Chicago Restaurant Week
-Yasemi: Located in River North, the restaurant serves modern Mediterranean cuisine and, from WBBM's rough calculations, has some pretty good bang for your buck value, with a four-course meal for $45 that includes items like beef kofta and chicken kebab.
-Tre Dita: If you've been wanting to try Tre Dita in the St. Regis Hotel, they are participating with a “La Merenda” – an Italian tradition of a leisurely afternoon of snacks. That will take place in the bar and lunge from 2 to 4 p.m. for $60.
-Qia Lin Hotpot: With locations in Chinatown and Streeterville, the restaurant is offering a lunch special with their hotpot.
-PERILLA steakhouse: Located along the Riverwalk, the restaurant is making their debut with a lunch special, which includes items like their salmon bowl, rice cake cacio e pepe, and a Caesar salad.
-Mano a Mano: The Logan Square Italian restaurant has gotten some love from the likes of social media influencers and Forbes for their “pasta project”. They’ll have a $45 dinner offering.
-Briny Swine Smokehouse & Oyster Bar: The Lincoln Park establishment is serving up Carolina-style BBQ and seafood. They have a $45 dinner offering, which includes a Coca-Cola cake as one of the desert options.
There is still time to get reservations at the more than 500 locations participating. View a full list here.
