Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week, where people can enjoy multi-course, high-end meals at lowered, affordable prix fixe prices from April 19-25, is a popular event in normal times. If you’re pandemic-weary (and we know you are), over 40 Greater Cincinnati restaurants serving a variety of ethnic and American dishes are waiting with open arms.

Many of the meals come paired with a cocktail prepared by Maker’s Mark, a GCRW sponsor. There’s even a good cause involved. A dollar from every meal goes to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

Not all restaurants have submitted their menus, and more still will be added, but below is a solid sample of what makes Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week worth a nightly trip.
