Restaurant Week to benefit Feeding Tampa Bay

The 15th annual Tampa Bay Restaurant Week will begin on June 17. This year, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Feeding Tampa Bay, providing a way for those who can afford to dine out to support those in the region who face food insecurity daily.

When entering any of the establishments participating in this year’s event, simply ask for the Restaurant Week menu between June 17 and June 27. The restaurants involved will offer multi-course meals with pre-fixed prices and special pricing on Funky Buddha beer, Corona beer, Garrison Brothers whiskey, Prescription Vineyards wine and other specials.

Some of the varied restaurants participating in this year’s event to showcase local establishments and their diverse cuisine include Datz, Elevage, Centre Club, Lolita’s Wine Market, Red Mesa Cantina, The Rooster & The Till, Poke Burri and The Dewey Beach Bar, among many others.

Event sponsors decided to give a portion of this year’s proceeds to Feeding Tampa Bay due to the increase in need, much of it brought on by lost jobs resulting from the global COVID-19 pandemic. One in four children do not know where their next meal will come from, according to the nonprofit charity, and one in six adults faces food insecurity.

Since the pandemic started, Feeding Tampa Bay has nearly doubled its partnerships, programs and services to help needy individuals.

Those who share a photo of their Restaurant Week experience on Instagram are automatically entered to win $500 in special deals and gift cards. Tag @cltampabay and use the hashtag #TampaBayRestaurantWeek.

Menus for each participating restaurant will be available to view online during Restaurant Week.
