Restaurant Week Details Announced In Stratford

STRATFORD, CT — Stratford’s popular Restaurant Week kicks off on Sunday, May 16 and runs through Saturday, May 22. More than 25 restaurants are teaming up to showcase and celebrate the best of Stratford’s dining scene, according to officials.

Last year’s event was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are delighted to bring Restaurant Week back to the community,” Stratford Mayor Laura R. Hoydick said. “As we all know, the restaurant industry was deeply impacted by the pandemic. I encourage residents, family and friends to take advantage of our local restaurants’ promotions. We are lucky to have such a wide range of cuisine, from all over the globe, right here in Stratford.”

Combined with a variety of waterfront establishments, a “host of trendy hotspots and several Stratford landmarks, Stratford’s Restaurant Week promises to please the inner foodie in all of us!” officials wrote in a news release.

New this year, Restaurant Week patrons are invited to participate in the inaugural Golden Fork Award.

Visit any participating Restaurant Week business and send a picture of your receipt to info@StratfordRestaurantWeek.com. One lucky winner will receive The Golden Fork award, a bundle of Stratford restaurant gift cards worth more than $500.

Stratford Restaurant Week is a Celebrate Stratford event.

“Celebrate Stratford would like to thank our Restaurant Week sponsor, the Stratford Economic and Community Development Commission, for their continued dedication to supporting our local restaurants,” officials wrote. “In addition to their Restaurant Week sponsorship, the Commission also funded a series of videos, highlighting the Stratford business sector, our community and a variety of Stratford-based industries.”
