The 9th annual Downtown Delray Beach Restaurant Month is from September 1st to 30th. This month-long foodie-focused event features deals on multi-course prix fixe lunch and dinner menus, happy hour specials, and more from over 40 establishments in the area.
This restaurant month celebrates the diverse culinary community that makes Downtown Delray Beach so special. It’s held in September, notoriously one of the slowest months of the year for the hospitality business in South Florida. We are blessed to have such a wide variety of dining options in Delray — so many different styles of cuisines, lots of specialty shops to enjoy, and fun things to do, such as food tours, cooking classes, and chef’s dinners right at our fingertips.
Downtown Delray Beach Restaurant Month will officially commence with a kick-off party held at The Standard, newly opened in the former space of The OG at 166 SE 2nd Avenue, on Sunday, September 1st from 4-7 pm. Admission is free and there will be happy hour specials and raffles.
