Are you ready for Maine Restaurant Week?

In recognition of all the hardworking restauranteurs in Maine, Native Maine Produce & Specialty Foods is once again a proud, corporate sponsor of:

"Let's fill those seats!!!!!"

Second Annual Maine Restaurant Week

Monday, March 1 through Wednesday, March 10

This is the second year for the statewide event, offering all of us an affordable and fun reason to explore new restaurants and visit old favorites during March, traditionally one of the quietest months of the year for Maine restaurants.

Participating restaurants will once again showcase their signature dishes on specially priced, prix fixe menus. For 2010, restaurants will serve three-course meals priced at 20.10, 30.10 or 40.10, during Maine Restaurant Week.

To date (January 14) more than 80 of the finest restaurants around Maine have committed. Portland is well represented. So are Lewiston/Auburn and Rockland/Rockport/Camden -- each of these towns have greatly increased their restaurant participation, versus 09. We expect many more to join the event.

Two additions this year: a few select inns, hotels and B&Bs will be offering special lodging rates (a great excuse to visit a distant restaurant and take a mini-vacation), and some restaurants will serve an optional lunchtime Restaurant Week menu for 15.10.

Participating restaurants, their menus, lodging partners and special event information will be posted soon. Our plan is to announce everything right around February, 5. We invite you to join the event's email group to be first to know when information has been added to the site.
