Bozeman’s downtown is currently buzzing with excitement as Restaurant Week takes place, featuring over 29 local eateries on Main Street. These restaurants are showcasing new menu items and specials to the community, attracting new customers and creating a fun atmosphere with their unique offerings.
One of the participating restaurants, Sidewall Pizza, has seen great success with the event, thanks to their ten-dollar calzones that have been a big hit among customers. The manager at Sidewall Pizza shared that Restaurant Week has been instrumental in bringing in new business and keeping their customers engaged throughout the week.
The timing of Restaurant Week in April is strategic, falling during a shoulder season with lower tourism numbers. This provides an excellent opportunity for locals to enjoy dining out without the usual crowds. Gillen Greene, general manager of Bacchus Pub, explains that this week allows restaurants to showcase their specials and offerings to a growing food scene in Bozeman while also providing locals with a chance to explore the diverse culinary options available in town.
Bacchus Pub is one of Bozeman’s longstanding establishments and has added four new food items to its menu for Restaurant Week, including portobello fries and haddock tacos. Participating restaurants are offering punch cards to customers who can enter to win prizes after trying five different specials throughout the week. This encourages customers to try out different dishes from different eateries and explore what Bozeman has to offer.
Overall, Restaurant Week aims to promote support for all downtown eateries while encouraging locals to explore the diverse culinary options available in Bozeman. This annual event runs through Sunday, April 28th, providing a unique opportunity for the community to experience the flavors of Downtown Bozeman while supporting local businesses.
