Get Out: Downtown Dining Week returns!

Make some room in your belly - and in your schedule. Downtown Dining Week is dishing up another round of eats starting today and running through June 9.

Downtown Dining Week will continue to offer affordable three-course menus at $10 for lunch and $20 for dinner for the unique opportunity to sample some of Downtown Milwaukee's best cuisine without breaking the bank. Several of the city's finest eateries are also among the 40-plus participating restaurants, giving local foodies a chance to indulge in a $30 prix-fixe dinner at some of Downtown’s white-table cloth restaurants. For all three options, the three courses include your choice of appetizer, entree and dessert (beverage, tax and gratuity are not included).

I’m taking advantage of this deal to experience some of the new places in the Downtown neighborhood or, perhaps, to revisit some of the places I really enjoyed but haven’t been to in a while. I’m eager to check out Zaafaran and Distil.

Other yummy eateries on the list this year are Zarletti, Umami Moto, Carnevor and Hinterland. Of course, if you want the most food for your buck, be sure to head to Kilawat, Milwaukee ChopHouse, Bistro Bar 333 or Karl Ratzsch's. These places, among others, will serve you an elegant dinner that's worth double or more – $40 to $50 – what you'll actually pay ($20).
