If you’ve been needing a reason to plan a lunch date, try a new spot, or finally book that dinner reservation you keep talking about… this is it. 🙌🏼

Virginia Beach Restaurant Week is almost here, and it’s one of our favorite weeks of the year because it gives all of us permission to do what we do best in VB: eat well, support local, and make it a whole vibe.

It’s also the perfect time to explore restaurants you’ve never tried before, order something you normally wouldn’t, and discover a new “regular spot” that ends up in your monthly rotation.

And best of all? This event is powered by the Virginia Beach Restaurant Association, which means it’s not just about dining out. It’s about celebrating and supporting the people behind the food, the local staff, the small business owners, and the culinary talent that makes Virginia Beach such a foodie town.

So I’m giving you the ultimate “Restaurant Week resource” right here. Bookmark it, share it with friends, and use it to plan your week.

Restaurant Week is basically the easiest way to experience the VB food scene without overthinking it.

Here’s what makes it so fun:

✅ Prix fixe menus make it easy to decide (and easier to budget)
✅ It turns “where should we go?” into “which of these are we trying first?”
✅ It’s a built-in excuse for group dinners, date night, lunch meetups, and girls night
✅ It’s one of the BEST ways to discover restaurants you’ve been meaning to try

And yes… we will 100% be posting our favorites, recaps, and must-try dishes all week, so if you want the inside scoop, stay close and follow VB Living. 😉

VB Restaurant Association is where you’ll find pricing, participating restaurants, and the official details.

👇🏼 Keep scrolling because we’re giving you the easy-access Restaurant Week guide, categories, and my “foodie game plan” tips to make the most of the week.

We’re making this super easy and organizing the restaurants into categories by meal offerings:

🍳 Breakfast
🥗 Lunch/Brunch
🍽️Dinner

You can visit the VBRA official site to access detailed information for each restaurant once you decide your game plan!

A few quick tips from someone who treats Restaurant Week like an actual sport:

1) Pick 1 “New to You” Spot
Restaurant Week is the BEST time to finally try the place you’ve driven past 400 times.

2) Go With Friends Who Will Share
If your friends aren’t ordering different apps so you can try everything… are they even your friends?

3) Make a Plan Early
These restaurants get BUSY. Book it early, especially for prime dinner hours.

4) Follow Along for Real-Time Recommendations
VB Living will be posting what we’re ordering, what’s worth it, and what we’d go back for again.

So when you dine out this week, you’re doing more than treating yourself. You’re supporting:

And honestly… that’s the kind of support our city is known for.

You’re definitely a foodie. 😄
We host a monthly Dinner Club for locals who love trying new spots and connecting over great food. 👉🏼 Check it out!
