DowntownSTL Restaurant Week
November 16–22, 2026
Downtown Restaurant Week brings together participating restaurants across Downtown St. Louis to showcase the city’s diverse dining scene and encourage residents, visitors, convention attendees and event-goers to discover — or rediscover — local restaurants. By participating, restaurants can benefit from collective marketing and increased visibility while creating a compelling reason for diners to choose Downtown St. Louis.
New Partnership This Year
Greater St. Louis, Inc. is partnering with St. Louis Magazine to present a coordinated marketing effort for Downtown restaurants. Be featured as part of a free Downtown Restaurant Week marketing campaign designed to drive dining traffic to restaurants like yours.
Win a $5,000 Marketing Package
All participating restaurants will be entered to win a $5,000 marketing package with St. Louis Magazine. St. Louis Magazine will also partner with all participating restaurants to market and promote their businesses through:
- Tagging stlmag in Restaurant Week social posts for re-sharing to the SLM audience
- Highlighting their events and specials on SLM’s community calendar
- Connections with SLM’s dining editors George Mahe and Cheryl Baehr
Make the Most of Restaurant Week
To engage the most customers, participating restaurants must offer a minimum promotion of 20% off or a specialty discounted menu item. You can use your daily menu — prix fixe menus are not required.
Promote it on your social channels with a complimentary media kit
- The media kit includes a Downtown Restaurant Week style guide, email banner, website banner, a card with a QR code for patrons to view participating restaurants, and a social media template.
- Photograph or video your Downtown Restaurant Week special menu or featured dish.
- Tag #DineDowntownSTL and #stlmag for the most exposure.
- Create Reels or short videos featuring your chef or kitchen team.
- Use Restaurant Week graphics and campaign hashtags consistently.
- Encourage customers to tag your restaurant when they visit.
- Share positive reviews, photos and customer posts throughout the week.
- Remind followers of your Downtown Restaurant Week offering throughout the promotion.
