Pouring our Hearts Out – Cocktails for Children’s Charities – is a mission that has been dear to the hearts of everyone who works on the conference, and we will continue to give back to our community and our children.

Restaurant Week is our celebration of amazing San Antonio restaurants – and your chance to try out one, two or many more of those restaurants that you’ve always wanted to try or to visit an old favorite.

Participating restaurants will offer a prix-fixe menu – encompassing a three-course lunch and dinner for two different tiers:

Tier 1: $15 lunch and $35 dinner.

Tier 2: $10 lunch and $25 dinner

Reservations are not required to participate – but, are a good idea – and can be booked directly with the restaurants.

San Antonio Restaurant Week benefits Culinaria, so your dining experience during Restaurant Week will be a charitable one. With each meal ordered specifically for San Antonio Restaurant Week, restaurants will donate $1 for lunch and $2 for dinner to Culinaria and the programs it supports.

Culinaria is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to benefiting the San Antonio community and promoting San Antonio as an ideal wine and food destination. By way of providing culinary scholarships and aid to San Antonio’s chefs enduring personal hardships through our Chefs 4 Chefs programs, Culinaria has long promoted its support of the community. Culinaria is ever-growing and trying to find new ways to enrich San Antonio, and its next big endeavor in aiding the San Antonio community will take form in the Culinaria Urban Farm. The purpose of the Urban Farm will be to hone in on true nutritional values and education to promote a farm-to-table diet.

Details on all of the participating restaurants will be posted regularly!

**If you do not see a particular menu posted at this time, please note that some chefs elect to use seasonal items. We will continue to post menus as soon as they have been finalized.**
