The annual Triangle Restaurant Week winter event is this week, Jan. 25- 31, 2021. During the event, participating area restaurants  will offer a special 2 or 3-course prix fixe takeout menu each day they are open.

Frida’s Patio in Cary is featuring a 3-course dinner menu for Triangle Restaurant Week. Dessert is Tres Chocolates, white and milk chocolate mousse layered on chocolate cake and topped with strawberries.

“COVID-19 has reshaped the hospitality industry in the Triangle and we wanted to offer a takeout edition to help restaurants jumpstart their business in the new year” said Kelly Stewart, program manager for Triangle Restaurant Week.

Since the inaugural event, Triangle Restaurant Week has grown to reach over 1.2 million residents and featured more than 100 of the region’s eateries, generating over $500,000 in additional revenue to the area’s restaurants. Patrons will have the option of special 2- or 3-course menus at $20, $25, $30 or $35, varying by location.

“This winter’s Triangle Restaurant Week celebrates 14 years of culinary excellence in the Triangle,” said Damon Butler, founder of Triangle Restaurant Week. “We are very excited to be able to offer a takeout version since many people look forward to this yearly event.”
