Main Line Restaurant Week
Main Line Restaurant Week, Philly's best suburban dining event, returns with great restaurants from the Main Line and western suburbs. The event kicks off Monday, April 20th and runs through Sunday, April 26th.

Main Line Restaurant Week is organized by AroundMainLine.com. This season marks the highly anticipated 10th run for the twice annual event founded in 2010.
Founded by AroundMainLine.com CEO Sarah Lockard, Main Line Restaurant Week celebrates the vibrant dining scene of the Main Line and surrounding western suburbs.

Participating restaurants will offer special, prix fixe lunch and dinner menus showcasing their chefs' greatest dishes. Menus will feature lunch for $15 and under (two or three courses) and discounted, three-, four-, or five-course dinners priced at $20, $30 or $50 per person. All menus are currently available on MainLineRestaurantWeek.com.

“Main Line Restaurant Week can be summed up in two words-TASTY VALUES. Our restaurants and their talented chefs work hard on strong menu development and discounts each season so local diners can be assured they are being treated to not only exquisite seasonal cuisine, but incredible values. This spring participating restaurants are offering lunch and dinner menus that are anywhere from a 15% to 50% savings. It’s the most delicious celebration of the suburbs bustling dining scene to date and not to be missed,” said Lockard.

Official Spring Sponsor: Title Boxing Club, Malvern

Having Title support our growing event and give back by being our sponsor is an honor,” enthused Lockard.
