For our residents, this is the best week of the year to step outside your neighborhood and try that spot you’ve been eyeing. Whether you’re a foodie or just looking for a budget-friendly date night, here is how to navigate the week like a pro.

1. Why This Week Matters

This isn’t just about discounted meals. A portion of every meal purchased at a participating restaurant goes directly to Leadership Toledo’s youth programs. These tuition-free initiatives help local students develop leadership skills and a passion for service right here in the Glass City.

2. 2026 Participating Highlights

With over 45+ restaurants participating, the options range from “hole-in-the-wall” gems to fine dining. Some of our 2026 favorites include:

• The Classics: Mancy’s Steakhouse, Rosie’s Italian Grille, and Schmucker’s Restaurant.
• Modern Favorites: Souk Mediterranean, Inside the Five Brewing Co., and Balance Pan-Asian Grille.
• Newcomers & Notables: Check out Assembly American Brasserie for a downtown vibe or grab a specialty brew at Maddie & Bella Coffee Roasters.

3. Pro-Tips for the Best Experience

• The Digital Passport: Download the Restaurant Week Toledo Passport (sponsored by Destination Toledo). Use it to check in at each location to earn points for gift card prizes—up to $250!.
• Tiered Menus: Most spots offer special multi-course lunch and dinner menus at fixed prices. It’s the perfect way to sample high-end cuisine for a fraction of the cost.
• Green Dining: This year, look for the “Sustainable Leaf” rating (1–5) on the official restaurant list to support eateries committed to reducing food waste and plastic use.
