It’s time for the annual  DC Restaurant Week.

With over 170 participating restaurants, offering two and three course prix-fixe menus for seven days, what’s not to like?

An with prices at just $20.08 for lunch and $30.08 for dinner, you can try several new places as well as hit a couple old favorites, without breaking the bank. 

How about checking out Acadiana, Butterfield 9, D’Acqua, or a couple of personal favorites, Zaytinya and Mie N Yu.

Ned a place for a low cost “power-lunch”?  Try The Palm.

While some restaurants like Hook, Capital Grill and The Palm offer only a lunch special and some, like the Oceanaire Seafood Room, offer only dinner; with so many choices, the only problem will be deciding which places to visit. 

Here’s the list of participating restaurants.
