BABYLON, NY – Long Island Restaurant Week is set to return this April, offering food enthusiasts an opportunity to explore the diverse culinary scene across Nassau and Suffolk counties. The spring edition of this triannual event will run from Sunday, April 27, through Sunday, May 4, 2025. With prix fixe menus at various price points, diners can enjoy exceptional meals at affordable rates while supporting local businesses.

Participating restaurants will feature prix fixe menus at different tiers:

  • Lunch: A two-course menu for $24.
  • Dinner: Three-course menus priced at $29, $39, or $46.

Each menu includes a selection of appetizers, entrées, and desserts, with at least three options per course. This ensures diners have a variety of choices to suit their tastes. However, beverages, gratuity, and optional menu upgrades are not included in the prix fixe pricing.

Long Island Restaurant Week serves two primary purposes:

  1. Support for Local Restaurants: The event helps restaurants attract customers during slower seasons.
  2. Discovery for Diners: It encourages people to try new eateries they might not visit otherwise.

With cuisine styles ranging from Italian and French to Asian and barbecue, the promotion showcases the rich culinary diversity of Long Island.
