Your guide to San Antonio's Restaurant Weeks
San Antonio foodies have a full calendar of eats with the return of Restaurant Weeks. Why it matters: The biannual food extravaganza organized by Culinaria spotlights local restaurants, giving diners a chance to try spots they've been eyeing — often at more approachable price points. How it works: Participating restaurants are offering prix-fixe menus for brunch, lunch, dinner — or all of the above — through Aug. 23. By the numbers: More than 150 restaurants are participating this year. Brunch menus are $25; lunch is $20 or $30; dinner ranges from $35 to $55. State of play: The lineup ranges from relaxed spots like Rome's Pizza and Little Red Barn Steakhouse to upscale destinations like Battalion, Big on the Banks, and Bliss. Newcomers like Anhelo Bistro and Anacacho Coffee and Cantina are offering special menus, too. The map stretches as far as Spring Branch, where the newly opened Desert Spoon is participating. Some restaurants also offer wine or cocktail pairings for an additional charge. What they're saying: "With summer travel, the heat, and busy schedules, Restaurant Weeks is what everyone looks forward to participating in as both a restaurant and an attendee," Culinaria president and CEO Suzanne Taranto Etheredge said in a statement. "It can become an annual tradition and is the perfect way to try out new restaurants, revisit favorites, and to dedicate time to hanging out." Pro tip: Make a game plan by browsing all the menus here. Pay close attention to each restaurant's hours, disclaimers and fine print — including policies on splitting checks or menu substitutions. If you go: Expect crowds — reservations, patience and kindness will go a long way.

New Restaurant Weeks support San Antonio Food Bank
The San Antonio Food Bank's inaugural Restaurant Weeks, which runs now through June 21, offers foodies the chance to try new local dishes for a good cause. Why it matters: Proceeds from the new program will go toward summer meals for children at a time when federal assistance is lacking in Texas and food prices remain high. How it works: Restaurants feature special menu items made with produce from the San Antonio Food Bank's urban farms, and $1 from each sale of a menu item goes to the food bank program. Participating restaurants and dishes include options such as enchiladas de calabacitas at Carriqui and a cheese, thyme and honey flavor at Lick Honest Ice Creams at Pearl. Zoom in: The San Antonio Food Bank's Summer Meals for Kids program offers free food at sites like libraries and community centers until Aug. 8. No registration or ID is required. Find hours and locations online. What they're saying: The food bank's Restaurant Weeks "is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our partnerships with local restaurants, bars and eateries," food bank CEO Eric Cooper said in a statement. "Their support and your participation will directly help ensure that no child goes without a meal this summer." The big picture: When school is out for the summer, children can lose access to the meals they get at school. The latest: For the second year in a row, Texas is not participating in a federal program known as Summer EBT that helps families cover grocery bills.

River Walk gets a taste of restaurant week
San Antonio's River Walk is getting its own culinary spotlight with a restaurant week event, just in time for graduation season. Why it matters: More than two dozen restaurants from Southtown to River North are offering specially priced, prix fixe menus until Sunday, showcasing the city's culinary scene with waterfront views. How it works: Prix fixe menus are available for $25 lunches, $35 lunch or dinner or $45–$55 dinners at more upscale restaurants. All of the menus have three courses. Diners can download a digital passport to earn points at each stop. Points can be redeemed for sweepstakes entries to win prizes like gift cards, tickets to VIP events and more. $1 from each prix fixe menu sold benefits the San Antonio Hospitality Foundation, which supports scholarships for culinary and hospitality students at St. Philip's College and the University of Texas at San Antonio. This River Walk event is separate from the long-running Restaurant Weeks organized by Culinaria. The vibe: Expect everything from white-tablecloth, special occasion spots to hidden neighborhood gems. Between the lines: UTSA and St. Mary's University graduations this weekend could make the River Walk a popular spot.
