The 6th annual Ogden Restaurant Week presented by US Foods, April 12-21, showcases how much Ogden has grown as a culinary city. During this 10 day “week”, 25 locally owned and independent restaurants in Downtown Ogden will be showcasing their menu bests at lower prices, offering a fixed two-course lunch for $10 or a three-course dinner for $17.
“A decade ago, you could count the number of independent restaurants in downtown Ogden on one hand,” said Sue Wilkerson, owner of Lighthouse Lounge. “Now you can find great local dining options throughout downtown that range from fine-dining, to quick-serve, to incredible food at your local bar.”
Ogden boasts an affordable, eclectic, downtown lifestyle that is growing in the arts and culinary scene. During Ogden Restaurant Week diners will discover locally sourced menu items ranging from yack meatballs to micro-greens, fresh surprises that encompass avocado tacos to a honey lime salad, and comfort food favorites from stacked burgers to chicken and waffles. Most restaurants have gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options as well.
“Ogden Restaurant Week is a great time to get out and try something new,” said Shani Overson, owner of one of Ogden’s newest restaurants, Ramen Haus. “This is a wonderful time to treat yourself to that restaurant you have always wanted to try, or to indulge in a dessert that you have had your eye on from one of your favorite restaurants. Ogden has an incredible diverse dining scene, this is going to be a delicious week!”
Each restaurant will offer a unique Restaurant Week menu with choices of entrees, appetizers and desserts, giving foodies and casual diners alike the chance to explore a new culinary experience at a lower price point. Participating restaurants will continue to offer regular menu items at regular prices alongside their Ogden Restaurant Week menu. To fully round out your Ogden dining experience be sure to order a cocktail made with top-shelf local spirits from New World Distillery or Ogden’s Own Distillery or order a local beer from Roosters or Talisman.
