New menus for Houston Restaurant Weeks go live ahead of fall event

HOUSTON, Texas -- Produced by The Cleverley Stone Foundation, Houston Restaurant Weeks is a multi-week event from August through September that helps raise funds for the Houston Food Bank through specially priced, prix fixe menus at participating restaurants.

HRW is now entering its 23rd year, and menus for the 2026 event officially went live on July 15.

How it works

Houston Restaurant Weeks will return Aug. 1 through Sept. 7, offering 38 days of prix fixe brunch, lunch and dinner menus. According to a July 15 news release, more than 350 restaurants are expected to participate across the Greater Houston area from the Inner Loop, downtown, and the Galleria to Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Galveston.

Customers can expect to find special menus throughout the month that range from $25 to $55, depending on the menu. Brunch and lunch are $25, with dinner options priced at $39 or $55.

Some notable restaurants that are expected to return this year include:

• a'Bouzy
• Adair Kitchen
• B&B Butchers
• Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette
• Perry's Steakhouse (all locations)
• Rainbow Lodge
• Traveler's Table

Additional restaurants that will be added to this year's lineup include Bistro Mistral, El Tiempo Cantina, Leo's River Oaks, On the Kirb Organic Eatery, Truluck's Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab, and North Italia.

Why it matters

For every dollar donated, approximately three meals are generated by the Houston Food Bank. In 2025, the event garnered over $1.6 million, per prior reporting.

Katie Stone, president of The Cleverley Stone Foundation, said that the event is not only designed to help bring funds to the Houston Food Bank, but also to help out restaurants during their slower months.

“My mother started Houston Restaurant Weeks in 2003 to help restaurants through their hardest month, and that mission has never mattered more than it does right now,” she said. “So many of our restaurants are fighting to stay open in a difficult economy. When Houstonians choose to 'Dine Out & Do Good,' they are not only helping feed families through the Houston Food Bank, they are throwing a lifeline to the local businesses and the people behind them who make this city what it is. Every reservation truly makes a difference.”
