Amherst Restaurant Week Kicks Off
AMHERST — The Amherst Business Improvement District (BID) has kicked off Amherst Restaurant Week, which takes place 7-13. This year’s event features 16 restaurants and eateries across downtown Amherst, offering an opportunity for residents, families, and visitors to explore the area’s vibrant dining scene.
From globally inspired kitchens to beloved local favorites, participating establishments will offer a range of special promotions throughout the week, including prix fixe menus, exclusive deals, and specially featured dishes that highlight the eclectic and diverse flavors downtown Amherst has to offer.
This year, diners can also take part in a giveaway running throughout the week. The more restaurants visited, the more chances there are to win gift cards to participating downtown eateries. Check-ins can be logged through the Brightr app or via a printed map, available for pickup at the Amherst Visitor Information Center.
Restaurant Week arrives at a natural pause in the Amherst calendar, just after the energy of commencement season, making it the perfect moment to rediscover downtown at a more relaxed pace. Whether one is a longtime local or new to the neighborhood, Restaurant Week is an ideal time to try somewhere new, revisit an old favorite, or simply enjoy a meal in the heart of the community.
“Downtown Amherst is home to an incredible array of restaurants representing flavors from around the world, and Restaurant Week is our invitation to come explore all of it,” said John Page, executive director of the Amherst BID. “Whether you’re in the mood for something familiar or ready to try something new, there’s a seat at the table for everyone.”
A full list of participating restaurants and their featured offerings is available at amherstdowntown.com/restaurantweek and on the Amherst BID’s social media channels.
