Restaurant weeks are a wonderful chance to try some of a city’s most popular bistros and fine dining establishments for a fraction of the cost. This offers the opportunity to add a touch of luxury to any budget traveler’s itinerary for a hefty discount off the normal menu prices.

Pair that with the wonderful selection of award-winning restaurants that a city like San Diego possesses, and one might be tempted to book a trip just to eat.

What Are the Details of Restaurant Week in San Diego?

The 2009 winter edition of restaurant week occurs January 11 through 16. This will be the fifth year of the event, which is organized by the San Diego Chapter of the California Restaurant Association in partnership with the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau and San Diego Magazine.

During this time period, over 150 of the city’s best eateries will offer a three-course dinner, which generally consist of an appetizer, an entrée and dessert, for prices that range between $20 to $40 per person.
