A frugal foodie’s dream: Ann Arbor Restaurant Week
| 2 min read
The only thing better than going out to a great restaurant? Going during restaurant week and paying way less than you normally would. Ann Arbor’s just started and it’s the perfect opportunity to go out and try new places without having to spend too much—lunch items are $15 and three-course dinners are only $28.
Fifty-eight restaurants across the city are cutting prices through Friday. That’s not much time, so we narrowed down the choices for you and found eight that look especially mouth-watering.
Arbor Brewing Company
114 E. Washington Street
This craft-brewery is offering two-for-one deals on items like Pork Tacos al Pastore (pork tacos) and Chicken Chili Relleno. All of which are accompanied by a small house beer and Coconut Flan.

The Arena

The entire menu looks great at this sports bar. Try combining the Feisty Feta Dip with a Whitefish filet and Sweet Potato Fries for a healthy, flavor-packed meal.

Carlyle Grill
3660 Jackson Road
We’re most excited about trying the Butternut Squash Ravioli. Or maybe the Maple Poached Salmon? But the Peruvian Bay Scallops look delicious, too! This relaxed and friendly restaurant might require multiple visits.

Mani Osteria & Bar
341 E. Liberty Street
With a special antipasti and sandwich lunch combo, we have our sights set on trying the Autumn Squash Soup with the Arturo Hoagie packed with roasted pork, smoked provolone and garlic spinach. That said, anything at this family friendly restaurant is worth ordering.
