ORANGE COUNTY, Calif., January 2017 - Orange County Restaurant Week will celebrate its ninth year as the region's most celebrated culinary event, with the 2017 Orange County Restaurant Week held from Sunday, March 5th through Saturday, March 11th. This year's list of participants will include 100+ OC Restaurants that offer diners a wide variety of options, from casual and family friendly establishments, to upscale and fine dining, which will allow for a "luxe experience" with a select group of menus priced at a $80 price point!
During the weeklong event, more than 100 participating restaurants will offer special three-course menus, many with a cocktail or signature item at no additional charge. Each restaurant will have the freedom and flexibility to showcase its best offerings by talented chefs who will, no doubt, personalize each menu to reflect their individual culinary style. Participating restaurants will offer prix-fixe menus within the following price categories: lunch for
$10, $15 or $20, and dinner for $20, $30, $40, $50, and $80. Once again this year, a limited number of restaurants will offer a special $80 "luxe" menu featuring dinner with wine or cocktail pairings. Guests will have the opportunity to search the list of more than 100 participating restaurants by name, location and price point at http://www.orangecountyrestaurantweek.com/.
Girl Scouts of Orange County is again partnering with OC Restaurant Week, during which select restaurants will offer Girl Scout cookie-inspired desserts. This year celebrates the 100th year of the first known sale of cookies by Girl Scouts and introduces OC to a brand new cookie- Girl Scout S'moresTM. The 2017 Girl Scout cookie season runs January 29th through March 12th in OC.
