While we can all admit that January can be a bit gloomy and gray, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to look forward to — especially in Rhode Island. From January 12 – 25, we’ll welcome another Providence Restaurant Week, which means new opportunities to try some of your favorite restaurant cuisine at a discounted rate. This year, almost 100 restaurants are participating, so break out your stretchy pants and plan your course (or rather, three courses) of action.

As one of the nation’s hottest culinary destinations, Providence is the perfect place to host a Restaurant Week.

So how does it work? It’s simple – choose one of the nearly 100 participating restaurants, order from a special menu, save money, and enjoy amazing food.

Avvio Ristorante Facebook You can enjoy three-course lunches for $16.95 and three-course dinners for $29.95, $34.95 or $49.95, as well as two-for-one specials. Not all of the participating eateries are offering lunch, so you’ll want to check the website before you plan.

Typically you’ll only have a few options to choose from for each course, but they’re always some of the restaurant’s best choices.

You’ll find a wide range of restaurants on the list, including everything from casual pubs to steakhouses like Fred & Steve’s.

Fred & Steve’s Steakhouse Facebook Fred & Steve’s hasn’t released their menu yet, but we’re hoping the options look as good as this.

Seafood lovers, rejoice – there are plenty of choices for you, including Providence Oyster Bar.

Providence Restaurant Week is sponsored by Navigant Credit Union, and this is sure to be its biggest year yet.
