Kansas City Restaurant Week is back in 2026, with this year’s celebration set for Jan. 9-18.
Celebrate Kansas City’s premier dining event at hundreds of restaurants throughout the metro. Show your support for KC’s restaurant industry and savor some of the finest plates the city has to offer, thanks to special multicourse menus available throughout the week. Plus, a portion of all proceeds benefit local charities.
Kansas City Restaurant Week (KCRW) is for the people. The 10-day dining event provides a perfect opportunity to savor exclusive menus from hot new restaurants you’ve been meaning to try (and return to a few familiar favorites). At affordable price tiers, you’ll find plenty of reasons to indulge.
This year’s Restaurant Week fare will be ready and available wherever you feel most comfortable. On KCRestaurantWeek.com, you’ll be able to search for restaurants offering menus via your preferred service method, whether it’s dine-in, carryout or delivery. No matter how you choose to enjoy the flavors of KC during the week, KCRW promises to make every dining experience a special occasion.
Restaurant Week is about more than just incredible meals and incredible value. During a time when it’s needed most, KCRW offers the opportunity to directly support Kansas City’s restaurant industry—including many small, family-owned businesses.
In addition to supporting KC’s restaurants, you’ll be doing good for the entire community. Participating restaurants pledge to donate 10 percent of sales from each meal to benefit an annual charity partner and two founding beneficiaries.
The 2026 Community Partner is reStart Inc., an organization that walks alongside individuals and families experiencing homelessness, helping them find a pathway home. As the only agency in the KC region serving all populations — youth, veterans, families and single adults — reStart meets people where they are. Alongside shelter, meals and supportive services, the agency provides the tools and dignity needed for lasting stability.
KCRW’s founding beneficiaries include the Visit KC Foundation and the Greater KC Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. These non-profit foundations are dedicated to workforce development within tourism and hospitality, two areas hit particularly hard by the pandemic.
With so many restaurants to choose from in just 10 days, it can be difficult to prioritize and plan your experiences. Thankfully, the KCRW mobile app has you covered. Available on both Android and Apple devices, the free app puts convenience at your fingertips with a number of tremendous features, including the ability to make reservations, a wish list function, restaurant map, exclusive photo filters and more.
To download the app, visit the Apple Store or the Google Play Store.
