Visit Oakland announces the return of its popular Oakland Restaurant Week, March 18-27, 2022. Featuring specially-designed dining experiences and offers from local gems and food trucks to Michelin-starred restaurants and newly opened eateries—it’s 10 days of lunch and dinner specials and infinite possibilities of deliciousness. Diners are invited to support local restaurants and literally “Feast Your Way through the East Bay.”
Launched in 2010, Oakland Restaurant Week is an annual dining promotion presented by Visit Oakland, a non-profit organization marketing Oakland, California as a travel destination. The 10-day celebration highlights the flavours of Oakland and is designed to support local establishments, enticing diners with menu offerings and experiences made available only during the 10 days from March 18-27, 2022.

Our vibrant neighbourhoods are just the backdrop as your senses come alive with every bite,” he continues. “Oakland is ready to show off what we have to offer in the culinary scene.”
