Restaurant Week kicks off on January 17. The event, which is no longer one week, but closer to one month, offers lunch and dinner deals at some of North Brooklyn’s best restaurants. Two popular Greenpoint spots are participating this year, while twelve Williamsburg restaurants are offering deals.

Some restaurants are participating for only part of Restaurant Week, but the majority are offering the menu for the full four weeks. Some restaurants are offering deals during the week only, but many include brunch or dinner on Sundays. 

Most of the Restaurant Week lunch menus are $30, while the dinner menus are $45, but some restaurants are offering more expensive (and extravagant) options. 

Browse the list below of every place in North Brooklyn offering Restaurant Week deals.

  1. While I appreciate the time and effort put into this, er how can I say this diplomatically, they are still very pricey, albeit not as bad as without the special.

    What I think would be of interest to the reader in this day of inflation is a list of real economical, quality deals especially with alcohol.

    Scallino has an incredible m-f deal 12-5 of a generous portion of salad (endive my fav.) and five choice of quality pasta for $13.50! Amarin and Salsa have quality Thai and pizza, inexpensive and BYOB! Three Brewers and Fredica have 1/2 lb hamburger/salad or fries and a beer for $20, happy hour.. Karchama has a bottle of French melbec, high quality half price $14 happy hour.
