Manayunk Restaurant Week Returns: Feast from Sept. 8-14!

UPDATE: The highly anticipated Manayunk Restaurant Week is back after a five-year hiatus, set to run from September 8-14, 2023. This beloved culinary event promises to be more delicious than ever, showcasing the vibrant dining scene in Historic Downtown Manayunk.
“Manayunk’s Restaurant Week is a celebration of our thriving dining scene,” said Gwen McCauley, Executive Director of the Manayunk Development Corporation. “It’s the perfect time to try new flavors and support local chefs as we transition from summer to fall.” Food lovers are encouraged to come hungry as they can enjoy special two and three-course prix fixe menus priced at $15, $25, $35, and $45 for both lunch and dinner.
A diverse array of restaurants will participate, offering everything from American comfort food to global cuisine. Notable participants include Bar Jawn, Bayou, Manayunk Brew Pub, and Chabaa Thai Bistro. Guests can explore new eateries or revisit long-time favorites, ensuring there is something for every palate.
“Manayunk restaurants have united to market collectively, showcasing the diverse culinary offerings in our community,” stated Brendan McGrew, Director of Operations at Voracious Hospitality Group. “This collaboration allows each restaurant to shine without competing directly, ultimately enhancing the entire Manayunk experience.”
While dining, patrons can also look forward to featured cocktails, beers, and other beverages at select locations, making this week a true gastronomic adventure. “We aim to attract both new and returning visitors while boosting local businesses during a traditionally slower season,” said Joan Denenberg, Marketing and Retail Strategy Consultant at MDC.
