The Georgia Restaurant Association (GRA) and the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s Tourism Division(GDEcD) will launch its Georgia Restaurant Week July 18-24 as a seven-day culinary event aimed at increasing awareness about Georgia’s culinary scene and highlighting the state’s unique and varied dining options.

Georgia Restaurant Week will take place at participating restaurants throughout the state. During this week-long event, consumers, both local and from out of state, can explore the numerous dining options throughout the state for lunch and dinner for a set price and experience the local Georgia products that are available in Georgia’s restaurants.

“We are very excited to bring back Georgia Restaurant Week for a second year and continue our partnership with the Georgia Department of Economic Development,” said Karen Bremer, CEO of the Georgia Restaurant Association. “Georgia has over 17,000 foodservice establishments, and we want to continue showcasing our restaurants to locals and visitors.”

“Georgia’s cities, towns and back roads are filled with authentic restaurants that feature our locally-grown products from every region of the state, and Georgia Restaurant Week is the chance for hundreds of participating restaurants to showcase their culinary achievements,” said Kevin Langston, deputy commissioner of tourism at the Georgia Department of Economic Development. “From fine dining to casual eats, restaurants across the state are serving up their best menu items, special promotions and discounts.

Leading up to the event, patrons will be able to view menu options, price details and make reservations online. Additionally, guests and participating restaurants can stay engaged and share their experiences via social media using the hashtag #GARestaurantWeek and tagging Georgia Restaurant Week’s various social media channels.

All of the restaurants, broken down by location, cuisine, and whether they offer lunch or other amenities, are listed on the website at http://www.garestaurantweek.com.
