My family loves Ann Arbor Restaurant Week! We take the opportunity to try new restaurants and return to some of our favorites. Winter Restaurant Week Ann Arbor returns in 2024 from January 21-26 – Sunday through Friday.
As of January 10, the website seems to be a mix of 2024 and 2023 offerings. Be sure to check back for updated 2024 menus and participating restaurants.
Family Meals to Go were a new option for Restaurant Week in 2022 and a great option for Ann Arbor families. A few restaurants are still offering them in 2023.
Restaurants offering Family Meals to Go include:
Zingerman’s Delicatessen (Pot Pies)
We love the Zingerman’s Deli Pot Pies that are being offered as a Family Meal.
Last year Blue Tractor, Joe’s Pizza, Rel-ish, and Vinology also offered Family Meals.
Since the pandemic, restaurants are able to set their own pricing and packages. I miss the days when they offered 2 courses for lunch and 3 courses for dinner at a set price. Some restaurants continue to offer meals for 2 with shared items. Once my daughter aged out of the kids menu, these got harder for us as a family of 3. But we can still do them by ordering one meal from the regular menu – or an extra appetizer and sharing an entree.
Last year we dined at Black Pearl as a family in one of their igloos. I have always loved their food but hated the noise and close quarters inside the restaurant. The igloo was perfect -we got the food without the noise or close quarters – and it was toasty warm.
I do suggest checking the menus if you have food allergies. Not all restaurants will be able to accommodate them on the Restaurant Week menu. You will still be able to order from the regular menu, but won’t get the restaurant week pricing.
Other Offerings
In addition to the meals, there are other Restaurant Week Offerings.
End the night at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea (Washington St location only) and receive 50% off your second (lower priced) drink.

Past Restaurant Week Experiences
Over the years we have dined at many of the Restaurant Week restaurants – both for Restaurant Week and other times. Check out our reviews of restaurants who traditionally participate in Restaurant Week: (Note many of these are not participating in winter 2023)
I am very tempted to book a greenhouse for dining at Black Pearl – I love their Fish Tacos which were one of the most popular dishes at Taste of Ann Arbor for years.
