Charlotte’s Annual Restaurant Week, Returns January 20th, Queen’s Feast

Every January and July, Charlottes enjoy a unique event called Queen’s Feast, which allows them to explore the cuisine and creatives that make up our city. During Queen’s Feast, several of the city’s best restaurants will prepare a three-course menu, allowing you to try out regional and new cuisine–as well as a taste of your favorites–at a cheaper price point; each menu includes three dishes priced at $30, $35, $40, or $45 per person, depending on the restaurants and cafes. (Remember, these are only accessible at dinner). The Queen’s Feast will take place from January 20th to the 29th, and reservations are strongly recommended (which may be made at each restaurant’s specific website). If your mouth is already watering, get ready because we’ve got the complete list of participating restaurants and a few hidden gems among them.
