Tips & Tricks For Downtown Dining Week 2026

  • Downtown Dining Week 2026 is Monday, November 9 through Sunday, November 15.
  • Every year during Memphis Downtown Dining Week, you can enjoy discounts, special menu items, and multi-course meals at all kinds of restaurants downtown.
  • Back in the day, most restaurants priced their deal to match the year, so this year's classic price would be $20.26. Now restaurants can pick whatever deal works for them, but plenty still keep the tradition alive!
  • Restaurants may offer their regular menu alongside specials, or just their regular menu with no extras.
  • Make a reservation. This is one of the busiest weeks of the year downtown, and popular spots fill up fast.
