After a successful launch last year, Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week will return Sept. 11-18. The event raises awareness for all things vegan and gives diners an affordable opportunity to explore the growing plant-based food scene in the Valley.
What: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings – many not typically available – will be offered at a set price at participating restaurants, food trucks, bakeries, and pop-ups (see website for participating restaurants and menus).
Prices: Breakfast offerings will feature an entrée and drink and be capped at $15. Lunches will showcase an appetizer, entrée, and drink and be capped at $20. For dinner, a three-course option is available for a max of $33 or a five-course meal with a cap of $44.
History: Phoenix Vegan restaurant Week was founded by Jozh Watson of PHX Vegan and chef Jason Wyrick of The Vegan Taste meal delivery service.
The quote: “Last year, Phoenix Vegan Restaurant Week was so well received by the community,’’ Watson says, ‘‘Every eatery that participated reported a significant increase in traffic during the event. This year promises to be even bigger and better.”
