San Francisco Spring Restaurant Week

San Francisco’s spring Restaurant Week ends Sunday, April 19, after 10 days of fixed-price menus at more than 200 restaurants across the city. (sfrestaurantweek.com) The official program says brunch and lunch menus start at $10, while dinner menus run from $30 to $90. Diners can search the lineup by neighborhood, cuisine, price point, and whether a restaurant offers indoor dining, outdoor dining, takeout, or delivery. (sfrestaurantweek.com) The restaurant list stretches well beyond downtown, with participating spots in the Mission, North Beach, Hayes Valley, Japantown, the Marina, the Richmond, and the Sunset, plus nearby cities including Oakland, Berkeley, Palo Alto, and San Mateo. The official site lists restaurants ranging from 3rd Cousin in Bernal Heights to Abacá at Fisherman’s Wharf and Alexander’s Steakhouse in China Basin. (sfrestaurantweek.com) Restaurant Week works like a citywide prix-fixe promotion: restaurants publish limited-time menus with a set number of courses at a set price. In San Francisco’s spring 2026 edition, the program includes lower-cost lunch deals and higher-end tasting-style dinners in the same event. (sfrestaurantweek.com) The event is organized as a seasonal showcase for San Francisco dining rather than a single festival in one venue. Local listings describe it as a citywide promotion that returns twice a year, in spring and fall, to drive traffic to restaurants across different neighborhoods. (sf.funcheap.com) That timing matters for a city still leaning on food tourism and neighborhood foot traffic. The Golden Gate Restaurant Association, which runs San Francisco Restaurant Week, presents the event as a way to celebrate the city’s “unique and diverse neighborhoods” through dining. (sfrestaurantweek.com) The price ladder is part of the pitch. A diner can book a $25 lunch at a neighborhood Italian spot such as a Mano, step up to a $45 dinner at Acquolina, or go higher with $75 and $90 menus at places including 3rd Cousin, AMA by Brad Kilgore, and ABSteak by Chef Akira Back. (sfrestaurantweek.com) Independent guides have tried to sort the bargains from the splurges as reservations tightened through the week. The Infatuation said this spring’s offers range from $10 to $90, while Secret San Francisco said dinner menus include at least three courses and lunch or brunch menus include at least two. (theinfatuation.com) (secretsanfrancisco.com) For anyone making a last-day plan, the simplest filter is price and neighborhood: the official site lets users sort by brunch, lunch, or dinner and book directly from restaurant listings. By Sunday night, the spring 2026 run is over. (sfrestaurantweek.com)
