Several local restaurants are participating in the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington’s annual Winter Restaurant Week, which runs from today through Sunday, January 25.
The annual dining promotion features lunch, dinner, and brunch deals at more than 380 DMV-area restaurants, including 35 that are participating for the first time. On average, Restaurant Week menus offer 20-25% off regular prices.
According to RAMW and NBC4, restaurants new to Winter Restaurant Week this year include chef Kwame Onwuachi’s Dogon; Ingle Korean Steakhouse’s new D.C. outpost; Sapodilla’s Caribbean Restaurant in historic Anacostia; and Michelin-starred The Dabney.
Locally, six restaurants are participating in the 2026 Winter Restaurant Week, including J. Hollinger’s Waterman’s Chophouse, Matchbox Milk & Honey Southern Inspired Kitchen, The Daily Dish, and Zinnia in Silver Spring, as well as Motorkat in Takoma Park, which is also a newcomer to the promotion.
Chef Jerry Hollinger’s eponymous J. Hollinger’s has $25 lunch and $40 dinner prix-fixe menus this week, along with à la carte raw bar selections not included in the Restaurant Week menus. Sister restaurant The Daily Dish at the Rock Creek Shopping Center will offer a $25 brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday, in addition to its lunch and dinner Restaurant Week menus.
Matchbox in Downtown Silver Spring will offer $25 lunch and $40 three-course dinner menus this week, and sister restaurant Milk & Honey in Montgomery Hills will offer a $35 three-course lunch menu.
