Ready, Set, Eat…
UPDATED FOR 2019 –
It’s here. The two weeks that Sarasota residents and visitors alike drool over. Savor Sarasota Restaurant week is upon us once again. To be fair, “restaurant weeks” is a more accurate description. This local food lovers dream stretches for fourteen days. And, in some cases even beyond that. Some of our favorite places extend their meal deals well into the summer.
We’re once again happy to bring you our “Unofficial” guide to all of the delicious happenings. First off and maybe most importantly, who’s participating? Well, here’s the full list.
There are a whopping 90+ Sarasota area restaurants participating this year. I think you would agree that’s quite a lineup. All major food groups covered very nicely.
For those of you who haven’t been fortunate enough to enjoy some great Savor Sarasota meals in the past here’s the low down. For a mere $16 for lunch or $32 for dinner, you can delight in a specially conceived three-course meal. These menus have been designed especially for our restaurant week and are fashioned to showcase each restaurants style and cuisine.
