Savor the Flavors: Nantucket Restaurant Week 2025

If you’re looking for the perfect chance to experience Nantucket’s culinary scene in full swing — without breaking the bank — Nantucket Restaurant Week is one of the most delicious events of the fall. With crisp air sweeping in, local chefs firing up their stoves, and diners eager to explore, it’s a time when the island pulses with flavor.

What is Restaurant Week?

Restaurant Week is a special event hosted by the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce where a curated selection of restaurants around the island offer special fixed‐price menus or deals. Think: prix fixe lunches or dinners, chef’s specials, standout courses, and often a chance to try high‐end places you might usually save for “special occasions.” It’s a win‐win: diners enjoy more for less; restaurants get to showcase creativity and attract both regulars and newcomers.

What to Expect

Here are some tasty expectations and tips to make the most out of the week:

1. Prix fixe menus — Look for special set menus at fixed prices. This might include 2 or 3‐course meals, often with a prix fixe price for lunch or dinner. It’s a great way to try chef’s choices without guessing.

2. Local ingredients — Nantucket is known for seafood, farm‐fresh produce, and regional flair. Many participating restaurants will lean into what’s seasonal and local.

3. Atmosphere & experience — Some places are elegant; others cozy. A romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a casual friend‐get‐together—all are valid reasons to go.

4. Advance reservations recommended — Since many people take advantage of Restaurant Week, booking early is smart.

5. Try somewhere new — If there’s a restaurant you’ve always wanted to try but haven’t yet, this is the perfect opportunity. The fixed‐menu format lowers the risk and ups the reward.
