Richmond Restaurant Week — 25th Anniversary

Richmond Restaurant Week is back in Richmond through Saturday, April 26, with fixed-price dinners that send part of each meal to Feed More. (feedmore.org) This spring’s event runs April 20-26 and features three-course prix-fixe menus priced at $42.26. Restaurants donate $5.26 from each meal to Feed More, the Central Virginia hunger-relief nonprofit. (feedmore.org) The 2026 spring lineup includes 24 local restaurants, according to WRIC, while the event site lists spots including Alewife, Julep’s, Stock Bistro & Bar, Tarrant’s Downtown and The Hard Shell. Diners can browse menus and make reservations through the event website. (wric.com) (rrweek.com) Richmond Restaurant Week is held twice a year, in spring and fall, and centers on locally owned restaurants rather than national chains. The 2026 dates on the event site are April 20-26 and October 19-25. (rrweek.com) (virginia.org) The fundraiser has been running since 2001, and organizers say proceeds over the years have helped provide more than 4 million meals for neighbors in need in Central Virginia. Venture Richmond calls it the first restaurant week of its kind. (axios.com) (feedmore.org) (venturerichmond.com) This year’s $42.26 price is up $7 from the $35.25 menus offered during the fall 2025 edition. Axios reported it is the first price increase since 2021 and the largest in the event’s 25-year history. (axios.com) (feedmore.org) Feed More says it collects, prepares and distributes food across 34 cities and counties in Central Virginia through programs including Meals on Wheels, Mobile Pantry and the weekend BackPack program. Restaurant Week turns one dinner service into a small donation stream for that network. (feedmore.org) (venturerichmond.com) For diners, the week ends Saturday, April 26. For organizers, the pitch is the same one Richmond has heard for 25 years: book a table at a local restaurant, and part of the check goes to Feed More. (feedmore.org) (rrweek.com)
