Seattle Restaurant Week is one of the best times of year to explore the region’s food scene, and you do not have to cross a bridge to take part. This guide covers how Restaurant Week works, the 2026 dates, and why dining on the Eastside, in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood, is one of the easiest ways to enjoy it.
When is Seattle Restaurant Week 2026?
Fall Seattle Restaurant Week runs October 18 to 31, 2026. It is a two-week celebration where restaurants across greater Seattle offer curated, fixed-price menus so diners can try new places and revisit favorites.
How does Restaurant Week work?
Participating restaurants offer prix fixe menus at set price tiers, commonly $20, $35, $50, and $65. You book a table and order from the Restaurant Week menu. At Sparrow, that means a curated three-course dinner for $65 per person, with a choice in every course. See the full details on our Seattle Restaurant Week page.
Why dine on the Eastside?
Most Restaurant Week coverage points downtown, but the Eastside has quietly become one of the best places to eat in the region. Choosing Kirkland means no bridge traffic, easier parking, and a relaxed neighborhood setting. At Sparrow you get free on-site parking, a warm dining room, a dog-friendly four-season patio, and one of the largest drink lists on the Eastside from our craft bar. Browse the dine-in menu and wine and cocktails to see how we cook year round.
What makes Sparrow’s Restaurant Week menu different?
Our menu is built around seasonal Pacific Northwest ingredients from local farms, and we offer vegan and vegetarian options in every course, so a table with different needs can share the same experience. It is a low-pressure way to try the range of our kitchen in one sitting.
