SF Restaurant Week deals

San Francisco Restaurant Week starts Friday, April 10, and runs through Sunday, April 19, which means a “week” of fixed-price menus is really 10 days long this spring. The official program lists citywide brunch, lunch, and dinner specials instead of one standard menu format. (sfrestaurantweek.com, sfrestaurantweek.com) The price ladder is the hook: brunch and lunch menus start at $10 and go up to $45, while dinner menus run from $30 to $90. On the official site, restaurants are filtered by those exact bands, so diners can search by budget before they search by cuisine. (sfrestaurantweek.com, secretsanfrancisco.com) This is not just a downtown promotion. The participating list spans neighborhoods from the Mission and Hayes Valley to Bayview, North Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Union Square, with cuisines ranging from Filipino and Peruvian to French, Italian, Korean, and soul food. (sfrestaurantweek.com) The event is organized by the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, the local trade group for restaurants, and restaurants have to be current members to join the official lineup. That setup turns Restaurant Week into both a dining promotion for customers and a marketing push for member restaurants during a slow patch between winter holidays and summer travel. (ggra.org, sfrestaurantweek.com) The cheapest deals are concentrated at lunch. Gumbo Social in Bayview is advertising a $15 lunch with gumbo and a half po’boy, while the official filters show multiple $10, $15, and $25 daytime options across the city. (gumbosocial.com, sfrestaurantweek.com) The expensive end is aimed at places people usually save for birthdays or expense accounts. The official listings include $75 and $90 dinners at spots like Alexander’s Steakhouse, ABSteak by Chef Akira Back, and other higher-end rooms that normally cost more to sample course by course. (sfrestaurantweek.com) That middle band is where many of the strongest deals sit. The Infatuation’s spring 2026 roundup points to places like Caché with a $35 lunch and $75 dinner, and Gumbo Social with a $30 dinner, which is why Restaurant Week works best as a way to try a place you already had bookmarked rather than chase the single lowest number. (theinfatuation.com, gumbosocial.com) The menus are also built to act like introductions. La Mar says its April 10 through April 19 prix-fixe menus are meant to showcase signature Peruvian coastal dishes, and Scoma’s is using the event to package classics like clam chowder, cioppino, and Dungeness crab spaghetti into set-price meals. (lamarcebicheria.com, scomas.com) For diners, the practical move is simple: pick the neighborhood first, then the price band, then book fast. The official site links directly to menus and reservations, and local guides are already framing the April 10 to April 19 window as one of the cheapest ways this month to try San Francisco restaurants that were out of budget a week ago.
