Kitchen Story
The 10-day celebration is designed to highlight the flavors of Oakland and support local establishments, enticing diners with menu offerings and experiences made available only during the 10 days from March 18-27, 2022.
“Come discover Oakland and all the richness it has to offer,” says Peter Gamez, Visit Oakland President & CEO. “I love Restaurant Week as we get to experience Michelin-star restaurants, to the most innovative food trucks in the country. Our vibrant neighborhoods are just the backdrop as your senses come alive with every bite,” he continues. “Oakland is ready to show off what we have to offer in the culinary scene.”
Following an especially challenging year, Visit Oakland is focused on supporting the eclectic Oakland restaurant community with a swift, rapid...and delicious recovery, with over 70+ restaurants participating. Oakland Restaurant Week is offered at no cost for any and all Oakland restaurants to participate. Participating restaurants create new and unique offerings from family-style dinners, special menu items, prix fixe menus, ingredient-driven tastings and more. It’s an invitation for the community, locals and visitors alike to Eat. Drink. Repeat!
The community and fabric of Oakland is made up of culturally-distinct neighborhoods, inspiring an incredibly creative food scene of unexpected pairings and fusion-style flavors. Favorite foodie hot-spots include Jack London Square and Temescal to Uptown and Fruitvale, to name a few. All Oakland Restaurant Week participants will feature lunch and/or dinner menus at six different price points:
● Lunch Pricing Tiers will be offered at $10, $15, $25
● Dinner Pricing Tiers will be offered $25, $40, $60
The complete lists of participating restaurants will be searchable by neighborhood, cuisine, meal type, and price point at OaklandRestaurantWeek.org.
