Over the past few years, Seattle Restaurant Week has seen the culinary community weather unprecedented events. From continued pandemic recovery to emerging pop-ups and ghost kitchens to a whole new generation of chefs bringing cherished family recipes to their menus — Seattle’s chefs and foodies are endlessly inventive. In addition to celebrating good food, our mission is to recognize challenges in the industry and support restaurants in the ways they need to be supported.
Since the pandemic, SRW has strived to build a longer table, inspired by the work of BIPOC chefs who are pushing back against the outdated thinking that fine dining is reserved for only a few types of cuisines at certain price points. Whereas previously SRW participation came at a cost, we have eliminated barriers to participation, encouraging pop-ups, food trucks, and chefs operating out of commissary kitchens to join. We’ve also opted for less prescripted SRW menu requirements, leaving it to the chefs to determine what works best for their cuisine.
The result is a Seattle Restaurant Week that reflects a fuller snapshot of our city’s diverse and innovative food scene, featuring emerging talents alongside the neighborhood anchors and long-standing fine dining institutions whose classic fare and ambiance continue to serve diners an occasion for a special night out.
Here’s some SRW participants that illustrate the full circle of options now available.

Bon Appetit hailed it as one of the most anticipated restaurant openings of the year, and gauging by the reception, diners agree.
