Longmont Restaurant Week is a 10-day event, Oct 4-13, that highlights Longmont’s vibrant dining scene. This year’s event invites residents and visitors alike to enjoy prix-fixe menus, special offerings, and creative dishes from participating restaurants and craft beverage producers.

Why Attend Longmont Restaurant Week?

This event is about more than just great food—it’s a celebration of Longmont’s unique culinary community, and a chance for us to stretch our culinary skills beyond our delicious burgers and chicken sandwiches.

This year, we’ve done a unique flight of deviled eggs as a starter followed by a steak sandwich featuring an 8oz filet mignon seared and topped with a chipotle lime butter, chimichurri, fontina cheese, crispy onions and crimini mushrooms on a French batard. Pair it with your favorite craft beer—we recommend something clean like the Emmet Otter Jugband Lager!

Over the last year, the restaurant and brewery industries have had to pivot and reinvent ourselves so many times we might just be permanently dizzy. From expanding our outdoor seating on our patio into the parking lot, adding heaters and putting HEPA air-filters inside — to washing our hands more times than any human should. But, we’re confident 2021 will bring some huge relief from Covid-19 restrictions and bring us back to something more like normal. Relaxing, times of hanging with friends on the regular, enjoying good conversation over delicious food and a finely crafted beer are on the horizon. In the meantime, take advantage of all the new-normal has to offer.
