January 15 – 20 2012

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – Ann Arbor restaurant week! Ann Arbor Restaurant Week is a twice-a-year event during which patrons can choose from extraordinary three course dinner menus and prix fare lunch menus from some of Ann Arbor’s best restaurants all for one low price ($12 for lunch or $25 for dinner) – and this year, iSPY is an official sponsor. It’s the perfect time to discover new restaurants or enjoy favorite dishes at a discounted price.

How it works: 

Lunch is a $12 menu of special restaurant week items. It is an open format, offering restaurants the opportunity to create one, two or three courses designed to please your palette and your pocketbook. Many restaurants offer two for one pricing.

Dinner is a fixed price three course menu for $25, with most restaurants offering a choice of menu items for each course. A limited number of restaurants will be offering two for one pricing.

Restaurant week is January 15 – January 20, 2012. Be sure to make reservations early at participating restaurants. Tables fill up fast! And, for those who can’t get enough of restaurant week, be on the lookout for the second 2012 Ann Arbor Restaurant Week in June.
