Are you looking to try some new food at one of Longmont's local restaurants? This April, Longmont will celebrate its first restaurant week and everyone is invited.

Hosted by the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce (LACC), Longmont Restaurant Week will be a ten-day event starting on April 20th and ending on the 29th. Participating restaurants and venues will feature a fixed-price menu and specials all set at $18.71.

Menus have yet to be shared but will be available on the Longmont Restaurant Week website as they become available.

As of January 29, twelve restaurants including Motherlode Cafe, The Dickens Tavern, Jefes Tacos, The Roost, Samples, Mac's Place, The Post Brewing Co., Bin No 46., Next Door American Eatery, Mike O'Shays, Fuzzy's Taco Shop, and Treat Snack House have already agreed to participate.

In 1871, the Chicago-Colorado colony settled in the area now known as Longmont. For this reason, the LACC chose $18.71 as the price for restaurant week.

Restaurant registrations end February 2, 2018, so if you are a restaurant owner in Longmont and would like to participate in this culinary celebration, please visit and register on the Longmont Restaurant Week website.
