April 12-21 is the Queen City's first ever spring restaurant week, featuring dozens of locally owned eateries from the greater Charlotte area – from Mooresville to Fort Mill. Experience the best the season has to offer: mouthwatering meals straight from the garden, al fresco dining and a reason to wear new spring clothes. Dine Out Charlotte's vision is to capture the season and the gifts of local, independent restaurants. A fresh, eclectic mix of Charlotte-born-and-bred eateries will offer pre-fixed, mouth-watering menus including a minimum of three courses to start either for $20 or $30 depending on the price point of each restaurant. It's more than just sampling local venues, it is about our own eclectic gastro experience, we plan to party! So shed your winter funk, dine indoors or al fresco, come out and celebrate with good friends and good food: farm-to-fork, vegetarian, international, all-American, or old fashioned southern cooking. You name it . . . it will be there and taste amazing! Whether you choose to dine at a long-time favorite or try a brand new place in Charlotte’s growing dynamic, restaurant scene, turn the arrival of spring into a party of your own and make your reservation now! What better way than to try a new, local place, satisfy your palate for a great price, and help support a wonderful cause. Bon appétit Charlotte's way!
