Veselka is running a deal for Restaurant Week.

| Gary He/Eater NY

by Robert Sietsema and Melissa McCart Updated Jul 25, 2023, 9:50am EDT

New York City’s summer version of Restaurant Week will take place from Monday, July 24 to Sunday, August 20 in 2023, a food-packed span of four weeks. But where to go? The restaurant selection in this semiannual event is notoriously uneven — some restaurants in the lineup are certifiably good, others not so much. More importantly, perhaps, is that the deals offered can be pleasingly cheap, but they can also be disappointingly expensive, as in when you are asked to pay more for a Restaurant Week meal than you normally would for the same food during the rest of the year.

A few ground rules: Saturdays are excluded and Sundays may or may not be. Dinners — Sunday included — will be $30, $45, or $60, with lunches generally $30 or $45. We’ve waded through your 548 choices (the number will likely increase as the event progresses) to find the best deals with the best food, with an emphasis on places that are just plain fun.

Dagon

This elegant Eastern Mediterranean restaurant from owner Simon Oren and chef-partner Ari Bokovza, features $30 lunch and $45 dinner with a menu of hummus or Israeli salad, kebabs or spring vegetable tagine, and malabi (rose water) panna cotta, among dishes.

Also featured in:

Barbetta

Located in an 1874 townhouse and founded in 1906, Barbetta is one of the city’s oldest and most elegant Italian restaurants. A three-course, $45 Restaurant Week dinner is a terrific deal. A meal might begin with a cold soup of pureed roast vegetables, then progress to a chicken tonnato, and end with a mousse of orange bittersweet chocolate.

Le Rock

It’s a four-course, $45 lunch menu from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at this Rock Center crowd-pleaser: a choice of breads, appetizer, entrees like duck confit or fluke meuniere, and desserts like profiterole, a fine pick for the terrace when the heat breaks.

Aperibar

Charlie Palmer’s Aperibar is a good Times Square option for Italian snacks, pizza, and pastas. While the Restaurant Week menu costs $45 for three courses — with items like arugula salad or mussels for the first course; branzino or cacio e pepe for the main, and gelato or an olive oil torta for dessert — know that there’s a pre-theater option year-round, Monday through Saturday from 5 to 6 p.m: a starter, main course, and dessert is $39.

Spanish Diner at Mercado Little Spain

This spot occupies a key place in Jose Andres’ Mercado Little Spain, a take on the traditional diner with a sprawling and eye-appealing setting where lots is always going on. What could be a better summer starter than a bowl of cold gazpacho, followed by an entree of pollo guisado spiked with sherry? It’s $30 lunch only.

Les Trois Chevaux

It’s the first time an Angie Mar restaurant has been a part of Restaurant Week, with a three-course $60 dinner option. This is quite a deal in what had been a tasting menu-only restaurant, having recently introduced a la carte dining and lunch. It’s a small price for a night of opulence.

This East Village mainstay offers wood-oven-driven Italian food of a hearty sort via chef Marco Canora — the guy partly responsible for the recent brodo phenomenon. A $45 dinner features a campo rosso lettuce salad with ricotta salata, meatballs and polenta entree, and choice of novel popsicles for dessert.

Filé Gumbo Bar

This Tribeca newcomer specializes in Cajun style gumbo in several permutations, thickened with sassafras bark rather than okra. There are other New Orleans specialties, too, including a muffuletta that makes perfect lunch fare on a $30, lunch-only Restaurant Week menu.

Queens Bully

QB is a Forest Hills gastropub that centers its menu on good smoked barbecue with an international flair. Doubtlessly, the $30 lunch is a better deal than the $60 dinner, both of which share the same menu. Either way, begin with baby back ribs as an app, go next to a lamb burger with smoked pineapple, and end with blueberry cornbread with whipped cream.

Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue

Who doesn’t love long-smoked barbecue, especially in the summer? Morgan’s roadhouse setting feels dark and cool, especially with a cold beer. The $30 deal might begin with chips and queso or a bowl of Texas chili, proceed to a plate of brisket and pulled pork served with potato salad, then end with a slice of peach pie and salted caramel ice cream.
