Loosen your belts and get ready to grub. While you might be in a daze every time a restaurant week rolls around — who doesn’t, after all it seems like there’s a different one every month — there’s something truly special about Newport Beach’s offering. While the idea of prix fixe lunches and dinners is the same, what sets this one apart? Location, location, location, of course.

From Jan. 21 – 27, over 75 of Newport Beach’s best restaurants will be participating in a weeklong celebration. For lunch and dinner, your favorite spots (and new ones, too, naturally) will be serving up special prix fixe menus. Some chefs take this opportunity to cook up new and inventive fare while other restaurants allow you to try their standbys and customer favorites. Whichever path the restaurants choose, you definitely come out the winner. Spots like True Food Kitchen and the Ritz are participating in both lunch and dinner options, other spots like 21 Oceanfront and Fleming’s are serving up their best at dinnertime. Make sure to check out the list of participating restaurants to see what’s on offer at your favorite Newport Beach haunt.
