The best way to support Louisville’s nationally ranked food scene is to take a bite out of it.Louisville Restaurant Week is returning Monday, Feb. 27-Sunday, March 5. The annual celebration of LOU’s culinary gems offers special meal deals and a good cause — all in one fork twirl.

Each participating restaurant will offer a pre-fixe, three-course menu for $26, $36, or $46 available for dine-in or take-out. One dollar of every meal purchased during the week will benefit The Hope Buss, a nonprofit that works with underserved communities.
