Glen Ellyn Restaurant Week FAQs

What Is Restaurant Week?

During Restaurant Week restaurants offer discounted or prix fixe menus to gain new customers and additional foot traffic during the slower season, which is typically in the first quarter of the year. Restaurant week appeals to both locals and tourists.


The History of Restaurant Week

Restaurant week was created in New York City in 1992 by Tim Zagat, the creator of the Zagat Survey, and Joe Baum, a famous New York restaurateur. The promotional event was originally lunch-only and scheduled to coincide with the Democratic National Convention to draw visitors, reporters, and politicians attending the event to local restaurants. The first restaurant week was highly successful and it has since spread to cities large and small all over the country.


How Does Restaurant Week Work?

Glen Ellyn Restaurant Week is a 10-day event held every February that encourages people to venture to a new restaurant to dine out for a good meal at a good value. There are no tickets or passes needed.


Do I need to make a reservation?

It would be a good idea to make a reservation during Restaurant Week. Not all locations take reservations. Click on the site to contact your location and confirm their hours of operation.


Where can I find the Restaurant Week menus?

Great question! All participating restaurants and their menus can be found on our website. Menus are available two weeks before the start of Restaurant Week and added upon receipt.


Are Restaurant Week menus different from a restaurant’s original menu?

Some restaurants will offer a completely different menu. Others will offer popular items from their original menu.


What is included in the prix fixe menus?

All the prix fixe menus include two or three courses. It will be up to the restaurant to decide which courses they would like to offer. You will most likely see an appetizer, main course and dessert. Some restaurants will offer multiple options for each category.


Are special dietary needs available

Yes, we will have vegetarian menus listed. If you have dietary needs, ask your server for available substitutions.


Is there a takeout option for Restaurant Week?

We’re glad you asked! Yes, there are restaurants that offer takeout. Find out which ones are offering the option by visiting our website.


Do the prices on the Restaurant Week prix fixe menus include tax or gratuity?

No, the listed rate does not include tax or tip. Although gratuity is not included, tipping is highly encouraged.


How do I find where the restaurant is located?

The contact information for each restaurant is located on the website.


Do I need to pre-buy a ticket or certificate?

No pre-buy is needed. Just visit your restaurant of choice and ask for their Restaurant Week menu. You will have to pay at the end of your meal. Please keep in mind that gratuity is not included.


Do only high-end restaurants participate?

Thank you for asking this question! There is a restaurant for just about everyone’s budget.  Find the restaurants that are priced right for you. Enjoy!


How do I get my favorite restaurant to participate?

Ask the Glen Ellyn restaurant to email us at director@downtownglenellyn.com We’re pretty good at responding within 24 hours during the weekdays.
