Newport Restaurant Week will return for its annual celebration of the region’s culinary scene from November 7-16.

The 10-day event showcases participating restaurants across nine coastal communities offering special prix-fixe menus designed to highlight the flavors of the area. Diners can choose from lunch menus priced at $20 or $30, and dinner menus at $30, $45, or $60.

The fall timing provides what organizers call “the perfect setting for this well-seasoned event,” allowing restaurants to showcase seasonal ingredients and autumn-inspired dishes.

A list of participating restaurants and menus is available at discovernewport.org/newport-restaurant-week
