I believe Le Monde is also participating.
Restaurant week hasn’t been good in years. There’s literally no value to participating anymore. The menus are limited, the portions are scaled back, and you don’t even get a bargain anymore. Pointless.
Agreed! One of my happiest memories took place while dining at The Four Seasons with my now departed beautiful mother. This was during the early days of restaurant week before it turned into garbage like everything else. And even The Four Seasons is gone!
Restaurant week is a tourist trap for those who don’t know. When it first started decades ago, it was a good deal, but nowadays it is a scam – portions are scaled back and prices are high. I rather just have the menu with the standard prices and meal portions.
I fully agree with those claiming that Restaurant Week has become a nothing event. Small portions from a limited menu is not my idea of a good restaurant experience.
It would be interesting if someone from WSR would interview local restaurateurs to get their take on it.
La Sirene does not serve scaled-back proportions during Restaurant Week. I’m sure this is true of quite a few of the other UWS restaurants listed here.
