“Dine About Town” returns to San Francisco June 1-15, 2014

 “Dine About Town” – San Francisco's own Restaurant Week – returns for a second helping on June 1-15, 2014.

Now in its 13th year, this popular program presents more than 100 of San Francisco's best restaurants offering two or three-course lunch menus for $18.95 and/or three-course dinner menus for $36.95, prices representing up to

25 percent off  regularly priced a la carte items. 

“'Dine About Town' restaurants are located in 21 different neighborhoods of San Francisco.  This is such a good value, you could eat your way across the city,” explains Joe D'Alessandro, president and CEO of the San Francisco Travel Association which has produced “Dine About Town” since it began in January of 2002. 

“Most 'Restaurant Weeks' happen in January but San Francisco's 'Dine About Town' is so big that it actually happens twice a year and last for two weeks each time,” D'Alessandro said.

The participating restaurants include two with Michelin stars (Luce and Spruce) and twelve others that are Michelin rated (Absinthe, Café de la Presse, Chapeau!, Chaya Brasserie, Dosa on Fillmore, Fringale, Georges, Marlowe, One Market, Skool, Sociale and Waterbar).
