About KC Restaurant Week

An exhibition of Kansas City's finest culinary talents, Kansas City Restaurant Week will offer a variety of mouth-watering foods from top chefs across the metro area, demonstrating why the KC dining scene is among the nation's best--and up until now, one of the best-kept foodie secrets (the Zagat Survey has called Kansas City the No. 1 dining bargain of all the major cities it reviews).

Restaurant Week features an array of restaurant participants so that diners can visit old favorites and also try the many new restaurants that have opened recently in the Kansas City metro area.

Kansas City Restaurant Week was created by two founding sponsors: the Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association and the Kansas City Convention & Visitors Association, in partnership with native Kansas Citian Derek Gale, Harvesters and other Kansas City area organizations, as well as online restaurant reservations partner OpenTable. The event is designed to spotlight Kansas City as one of the country's premier dining destinations, and to support the local culinary community.
