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.

Spelling out what makes a great work environment is somewhat of an inexact science. But who better to determine that than the employees who experience it day in and day out? So we’re asking that employees nominate their places of work for the second annual “Best Places to Work” contest. This competition recognizes and honors companies that deliver a true commitment to their employees by advancing operational ideals and promoting productive environments just to name a few.

The questions that follow will focus on work culture, training and development opportunities, tangible and intangible benefits, and employee satisfaction among other things. Please Note: the survey must be completed by a current employee of the business being nominated. Nominators may be contacted for further comment.

The Fine Print

• Only one nomination  per business is required to be considered.
• Nominations run from November 9 – December 31

The Contest has Ended,  winners will be chosen by a panel and will be featured in the June/July 2018 edition of Lynchburg Business Magazine.

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.

Our 3rd Annual Top Teachers reception was held on March 4; hosted by The Timberlake Tavern and catered by Friends Catering, the event drew nearly 100 guests to honor some of the region’s best educators. A panel of judges selected the Top 25 after reviewing nominations sent in from the community. Check out our photos of some very heartfelt, memorable moments. And thank you to all of the teachers in the Hill City!
