The impending return of Winter Restaurant Week could provide a much-needed boost for the D.C. region’s food service industry.

While Fairfax County didn’t face all the same challenges last year as the District, where a record number of eateries reportedly closed amid inflation, tariffs and the presence of federal law enforcement and the National Guard, many local establishments will take part in the biannual promotional campaign, which will kick off on Monday (Jan. 19) and continue through Jan. 25.

As in previous years, the participating restaurants will offer curated three-course meals for lunch, brunch and dinner. Lunch and brunch options cost $25 or $35 per person, while possible dinner prices include $40, $55 or $65.

Here are all the Fairfax County restaurants participating in the latest Restaurant Week. Links to their menus can be found through the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington’s website.
