Most restaurant weeks feature a single town where customers can dine at participating restaurants offering multi-course specials. What sets Visit Bucks County Restaurant Week apart is that it offers specials at more than 65 restaurants in 20 towns.
Everything from spaghetti to steak to crab cakes to mushrooms stuffed with lobster thermidor is featured during the county’s second restaurant week from April 28 to May 4.
Three-course prix fixe meals with a starter, entrée and dessert cost $25 or $35, and some restaurants have both price options.
Menus in the $25 category include grilled chicken kabobs with salad to start and baklava to finish at Blu Mediterranean Grill, a BYOB in Doylestown. The restaurant also offers beef and vegetarian entrees.
Other restaurants offering complete meals for $25 are Casa Toro Mexican Grill, Empanada Mama, Geronimo Brewing at Lilly’s Jury Room, and Kung Fu Restaurant, also in Doylestown. Other $25 options are at Buttonwood Grill in Lahaska, Luberto’s Brick Oven Pizza & Trattoria and Dublin Towne Diner in Dublin and Lumberville General Store in Lumberville.
