Celebrate the island’s vibrant culinary scene from November 2–9 with prix fixe menus, giveaways, and unbeatable dining experiences.
(Long Island, NY – September 2025) — The award-winning Long Island Restaurant Week is back and ready to delight diners once again. Running from Sunday, November 2 through Sunday, November 9, 2025, this beloved tri-annual event invites locals and visitors alike to explore the best of Long Island’s dining scene — all while supporting neighborhood restaurants that make our communities thrive.
A recent survey revealed just how much Long Islanders love this culinary tradition: over 70% of diners said they’re very likely to participate again, and nearly half plan to dine out twice during the promotion. With those numbers, it’s clear that Restaurant Week has become more than just a dining deal — it’s a celebration of food, community, and local pride.
Affordable Menus, Endless Possibilities
Participating restaurants across Nassau and Suffolk will offer special prix fixe menus designed to make dining out both accessible and exciting. Options include:
$24 two-course lunch
$29, $39, or $46 three-course dinner menus
Restaurants can offer one, two, or any combination of these prix fixes throughout the week, with at least three options per course for both lunch and dinner. The only exception is Saturday, when the promotion may be offered until 7 p.m. This flexibility allows diners to enjoy everything from cozy neighborhood bistros to fine dining destinations — all while exploring the creativity and passion of Long Island’s top chefs.
Win While You Dine: The Gift Card Giveaway
Adding even more excitement to the week, the popular Gift Card Giveaway returns this fall. Diners can enter to win one of three gift cards redeemable at any participating restaurant.
Entries open on Monday, October 27, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. EST and close on Monday, November 10, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST via the official website, www.longislandrestaurantweek.com. Winners will be announced on or around Friday, November 14, 2025.
A Tradition of Culinary Excellence
“Diners are thrilled to welcome back Long Island Restaurant Week,” says Nicole Castillo of the Long Island Restaurant and Hospitality Group. “After over 200 restaurants participated last fall, we expect at least 200 again this year, offering delicious, specially curated menus that celebrate the island’s vibrant culinary scene and give everyone a chance to explore their favorite local eateries.”
Since its debut in 2006, Long Island Restaurant Week has evolved from a single fall promotion to a tri-annual tradition, now taking place in the winter, spring, and fall. It’s a testament to both the region’s rich food culture and the dedicated restaurateurs who continue to make Long Island a premier dining destination.
Dine Local, Savor Long Island
This fall, Long Island Restaurant Week is more than just a reason to eat out — it’s an opportunity to show support for the chefs, servers, and restaurateurs who keep our communities deliciously alive. Whether you’re trying a new spot or revisiting an old favorite, your participation helps local restaurants flourish and keeps Long Island’s dining scene strong.
