Northern Virginia Restaurant Week Set for March 20-27

Mark your calendars! Northern Virginia Restaurant Week will be held from March 20-27. Many Loudoun restaurants are set to participate.

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA – The 2nd annual Northern Virginia Restaurant Week will be held on March 20-27, 2017. The Loudoun County, Arlington, Greater Reston and Prince William Chambers of Commerce are again collaborating to produce the event. The Virginia Restaurant, Lodging and Travel Association (VRLTA) will again join as a partner, making it one of the largest dining out celebrations in the state of Virginia.

Northern Virginia Restaurant Week is a week-long dining experience taking place at a variety of establishments, from fine dining to fast casual. In 2016, more than 60 restaurants participated with special menus and pricing at both lunch and dinner. The goal of this event is to draw attention to Northern Virginia’s vibrant hospitality industry, encouraging residents and workers to explore new dining options close to home or work, according to the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce.

Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tony Howard said that the best part of Northern Virginia Restaurant Week 2016 was that it helped re-emphasize the value of making business connections over a meal.

“Too often, we become overly reliant on email and social media, that it can be easy to forget the importance of personal connections. Loudoun’s hospitality industry does an outstanding job of providing meaningful opportunities for business leaders to meet face-to-face to forge new opportunities and relationships. I’m looking forward to another week-long celebration of great food and great business connections,” Howard said.

For 2017, Northern Virginia Restaurant Week will once again be working with OpenTable.com to provide participating foodies a chance to make stress-free reservations. Restaurants who are already on Open Table will be featured on a special NOVA Restaurant Week page, making it simple for consumers to find convenient options throughout the seven-day event. Restaurant registrations will be accepted until the beginning of Restaurant Week so check back on OpenTable frequently for additional dining options.
