Our 11th annual Lynchburg Restaurant Week is here to remind you that you needn’t travel far for amazing food—but you’ll still want to have your passport on hand. We are excited to introduce our new Lynchburg Restaurant Week passport program, which will allow you to eat some of the best food in Lynchburg while also giving you the chance to win an awesome prize!

Tear-out the passport card and take to any—or, ideally, all—of this year’s 14 participating restaurants. Simply enjoy a meal, get your passport punched (once per restaurant), and mail your card to us by July 8. The person with the most punches will win a weekend stay at the gorgeous 2022 Lynchburg Living Smith Mountain Lake Idea House (featured in this issue)!

In the event of a tie, a random drawing will be conducted to determine the winner. Please see the passport card for additional details.

Start planning your Lynchburg Restaurant Week (June 18-25) itinerary now by feasting your eyes on the participating restaurants’ mouthwatering menus, found in the pages ahead.

2021 marks 10 years since our very first Lynchburg Restaurant Week, marking a decade of delicious dishes and great deals at diverse eateries across the region.

Even during the height of the pandemic last year, we kept this beloved community event going strong. Now, as restrictions are slowly lifted and many are returning to in-person dining, we hope you will join us to continue supporting Lynchburg’s thriving restaurant community June 12-19, 2021.

We are thrilled to showcase 13 local restaurants this year, each with its own handcrafted menu specifically for Lynchburg Restaurant Week.

As we bring you our 9th annual Lynchburg Restaurant Week, Aug. 1-8, 2020, we don’t want to ignore the elephant in the room—it hasn’t been a great year for restaurants. After COVID-19 restrictions shut down dining rooms in March, restaurants were able to gradually reopen in May and June. That means now, more than ever, these local businesses need your
support to finish the year strong.

We are thrilled to showcase 11 local restaurants for this year’s week-long Lynchburg Restaurant Week event. Each business has handcrafted a menu that showcases some of their best dishes—at a price you will really love. Flip through the following pages to see what’s cooking and start planning out your stops today.

Lynchburg Restaurant Week 2018 is presented by Lynchburg Living Magazine.

For a full week in June, we turn the phrase “let’s go out to eat” from an excuse (unmotivated, lack of food in the pantry, etc.) to a meaningful celebration of the Hill City’s thriving restaurant scene.

Our popular Lynchburg Restaurant Week is back for its 7th year with a big change you may notice. For the first time, restaurants can set the price for their discounted menus, allowing for a lot more creativity in choices for you. One carryover from 2017 is our featured nonprofit—Meals on Wheels of Central Virginia. This year, 25 percent of our business sponsorship proceeds are going straight to this incredible organization.

Flip through the following pages to see the mouthwatering menus from this year’s 30 participating restaurants—and start planning your stops today! Or for more information go to, lynchburgrestaurantweek.com.

Local. Charitable. Delicious.

Now in its sixth year, our very popular Lynchburg Restaurant Week is back with a new and improved mission. On the following pages, you will see fantastic menus offered by 23 local restaurants. These prix fixe menus give you a chance to savor their best dishes (appetizer, main course, dessert) while not breaking the bank.

But when you pay your bill, we hope you’ll consider gifting that savings to Meals on Wheels of Greater Lynchburg, our 2017 fundraising beneficiary. They assist the homebound community by providing a nutritious, hot lunch five days a week. We are also continuing our partnership with Academy Center of the Arts this year. Their Riverfront Park Concert Series will bring thousands of people downtown this summer.

Local. Affordable. Delicious.

These are the words we would use to describe the one-and-only Lynchburg Restaurant Week. When this event first launched in 2012, it was an experiment in creative collaboration—a merger of local restaurateurs, Lynchburg Living and community groups. Since then, and due to the public’s incredible enthusiasm and support, Lynchburg Restaurant Week has grown to be a well-loved entity in the Central Virginia region.

Presented by Lynchburg Living, this event is is unlike any other in our area, featuring only local, home-grown eateries and benefiting the important work of local, nonprofit organizations, we’ve found a way to provide the public with great food at unbeatable prices all while helping a great cause.

Speaking of the food, you have an abundance of choices among the special prix fixe menus. For the more information visit: www.lynchburgrestaurantweek.com.

This year for the first time, we’re working with the Academy Center of the Arts as our nonprofit partner. This collaboration highlights two things that bring our community together—food and art. The Academy has been integral in promoting the cultural development and revitalization of our region. If you didn’t know, they have 18 programs all oriented around arts education and economic development with the goal of improving the quality of life for all citizens.

A quick snapshot of current Academy projects includes:
• Hill City Keys
• Partnerships—such as benefit concerts—with other local nonprofits
• First Fridays, which allows free gallery visits to the public
• Scholarships for local youth to attend art classes and camps
• City Strings
• Youth Art Shows…and much more!
