Pittsburgh Summer Restaurant Week kicks off today, and from now through Sunday, more than 70 (!) restaurants will be offering specially-priced menus all week.
Most restaurants are featuring a three-course prix fixe dinner option for $35.16, though there are lower-priced options to be found, including lots of $20.16 lunch and dinner picks.
What 10 dishes are on our ‘must-try’ list this time around? Hushpuppy donuts, tomato tarts, and everything in between.
G&G Noodle Bar: $25.16 Three-Course Dinner Downtown’s G&G Noodle Bar’s RW menu features a number of first-and-second course options, including a delicious Vegetable Ramen, made with braised daikon, bok choy, crispy tofu, udon noodles and a hot & sour mushroom broth.
Willow: $35.16 Three-Course Dinner Local produce shines on Willow’s RW menu, highlighted by their Local Tomato Tart, made with two kinds of cheese, pate brisee, and caramelized onion. It’s finally tomato season in Pittsburgh, so enjoy it as much as you can while it’s here.
Revel + Roost: $35.16 Three-Course Dinner We love a good house-made pasta, and Revel + Roost’s House-Made Veal Cheek Fettuccine is insanely good, with braised beef ragout, caramelized eggplant and house-made ricotta. It’s just one of the main course choices on their extensive RW menu.
BRGR: $20.16 Specialty Menu Dinner and drinks… for two? BRGR’s $20.16 Restaurant Week menu features two Average Joe Burgers, 2 PBRs and a side of fries.
Bar Marco: $30.16 Three-Course Dinner What’s the perfect dish to enjoy during this insanely hot August? Bar Marco’s chilled and refreshing Cucumber Gazpacho, part of their three-course RW menu.
Union Pig & Chicken: $20.16 Four-Course Dinner Union Pig & Chicken always has a stellar RW menu (and one of the cheapest too, at just $20.16 for a four-course meal). As always, their specialty menu changes regularly, but we can’t wait to get our hands on their Hushpuppy donuts… though the Fried Chicken & Waffles with pickled peaches promises to be pretty fantastic, too.
Station: $35.16 Three-Course Dinner Our pick? Station’s Crispy Skin Chicken Breast & Leg, served with honey mustard, dirty porridge and greens is a staple on their regular menu, and a favorite of ours for good reason – it’s insanely moist and flavorful.
Matteo’s: $26.16 Three-Course Dinner There are plenty of first-and-second course choices from Matteo’s three-course RW menu, but we’re all about the desserts, specifically their Lemoncello Marcapone Cake. It’s not too sweet, and the perfect way to end a summer dinner.
Poros: $35.16 Three-Course Dinner Poros is known for their seafood, but we have to pick their mega-sized Jamison Farm Lamb Shank entrée, available on their three-course RW menu. It’s served with spiced eggplant, roasted pepper farro, and a honeydew chutney.
Paris 66: $20.16 Two-Course Lunch For Restaurant Week, Paris 66 is offering two menus, a $20.16 lunch duo, and a $35.16 three-course dinner. Both menus include their Salade de chevre Chaud, a simple summer dish that we absolutely love, with warm goat cheese on a baguette, mixed greens with tomato, cucumber and walnuts, and a French vinaigrette.
