PHILADELPHIA, PA — One of the city’s most anticipated culinary traditions roars back this weekend as Center City District Restaurant Week launches Sunday, January 18, unleashing two weeks of cut-rate dining, cocktail pairings and parking deals across more than 120 restaurants in the heart of Philadelphia.
Running through Saturday, January 31, the 2026 edition of the event invites diners to sample some of Center City’s most celebrated kitchens with prix-fixe three-course dinners priced at $45 or $60 and two-course lunches for $20 — a steep discount in a district known for its high-end culinary scene.
Participating restaurants span the length of Center City, offering everything from neighborhood favorites to upscale destinations, with full menus and the complete list of restaurants available at ccdrestaurantweek.com.
To keep the experience accessible, discounted parking of $10 or less will be available each night of the promotion from 4:45 p.m. to 1 a.m. through partnerships with LAZ Parking, BexPark by Brandywine and the Philadelphia Parking Authority. Diners can locate participating garages and access digital vouchers or reservation links through the CCD Restaurant Week website.
The promotion also features optional cocktail pairings showcasing Hornitos Tequila and Knob Creek Bourbon Whiskey, giving diners the chance to add themed drinks designed to complement Restaurant Week menus.
Beyond the food and drink, the event also brings back CCD’s popular Dinner for a Year giveaway. Four winners will receive a year’s worth of restaurant gift cards to top Center City dining spots. Entries are free and can be submitted online at ccdrestaurantweek.com.
Center City District Restaurant Week is presented by Hornitos Tequila and Knob Creek Bourbon Whiskey and has become one of the region’s biggest winter draws, turning normally quiet January nights into a citywide dining rush.
With deep discounts, hundreds of menu options and the chance to eat free for a year, organizers are betting the 2026 edition will once again pack dining rooms and parking garages from Rittenhouse Square to Old City.
