ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Asheville Restaurant Week is an annual, week-long celebration of Asheville cuisine featuring special menus and offers from over 50 participating restaurants. This year, Asheville Restaurant Week will be held twice, from Jan. 20-26 and Feb. 17-23.

Two weeks, twice the deals

There are 53 restaurants participating in the 2026 rendition of Asheville Restaurant Week. The eateries are scattered across the Asheville area from Weaverville to Black Mountain.

Each restaurant offers its own specials for the promotion. For some dining spots, that means a curated, multi-course dinner experience. For others, the offers could look like meal discounts, BOGO appetizers or specialty cocktails. Every restaurant is different.

The Asheville Chamber of Commerce has a list of each restaurant, its Asheville Restaurant Week menu and its location. Check out their guide here.
