Fremont Restaurant Week starts Friday with 45-plus meal deals
Lineup includes diverse menus, the city's classic dining rooms and newcomers
Restaurants in Fremont are again enticing food lovers with the opportunity to save money while discovering new places and revisiting old favorites.
The second annual Fremont Restaurant Week will run from this Friday, March 22, through March 31 with prix fixe menus, specials and freebies.
“Fremont Restaurant Week was started to celebrate Fremont’s diverse culinary scene, one that we wanted to uplift after the tumultuous couple of pandemic years,” said Donovan Lazaro, director of economic development for the city. “New restaurants can benefit from the wave of free marketing that Restaurant Week offers, and we partnered with the Fremont Chamber of Commerce and Yelp Bay Area, who offered to build out Yelp pages at no cost for participating restaurants.”
He added that they also hope to appeal to diners outside the city. “Many restaurants are local favorites but may be lesser known in the region, so we wanted to shine a spotlight on those as well. Hopefully, people will come to Fremont and find a new favorite spot.”
Leading the array of 45-plus restaurants are three local favorites that have been in business for decades: Papillon, Massimo’s, Ristorante Il Porcino and El Patio. The French classic and the two Italian ones are all offering prix fixe dinners; the Mexican classic is offering deals on fajita and taco trios and cocktails.
Joining them are restaurants, brewpubs, bistros and more and more in all corners of the city:
