DC Restaurant Week may be a few weeks down the road, but Restaurant Week aficionados know that now is the time to start planning.

More than 200 Washington, DC-area restaurants will participate in Restaurant Week, which takes place this year from Feb. 4 through Feb. 10. With three-course meals costing $20.13 at lunch and $35.13 at dinner, restaurant week gives Washington-area diners a chance to sample some of the area’s finest restaurants for a fraction of the usual cost.
