Dig in, food lovers. Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW) is here again, going on from Saturday, April 12 until Saturday, April 27 — so really two whole weeks. Hot damn.

For a refresher, SRW is when local restaurants offer special deals that range from $20 lunches to multi-course dinners of $20, $35, $50, or $65. It’s a delicious chance to try out a new spot or rediscover a beloved old-timer.

There are over 200 restaurants, pop-ups, and food trucks participating in SRW’s spring edition with takeout, delivery, and dine-in options, plus a charitable component. While you can do a full search online, let’s go over some must-tries.
