All the information, including the complete list of participating restaurants can be found in the release below and at GoNewportRestaurantWeek.com.

Celebrate Our Culinary Community Throughout Newport Restaurant Week
Newport Restaurant Week returns November 2-11, 2012 with more than 45 participating restaurants throughout Newport and Bristol Counties, Rhode Island. Now a highly anticipated fall tradition, restaurants dish up extraordinary cuisine at affordable prix fixe prices with ingredients sourced from local farmers, foragers and fisherman. As in years past, the prices remain at $16 for a three-course lunch and $30 for a three-course dinner.*
Newport Restaurant Week has come to be a crowd-pleasing event among local residents and visitors alike since being introduced in 2006. This fall’s 10-day affair will highlight local food purveyors, new seasonal menu items and the talents of creative chefs who orchestrate unforgettable dining experiences. Visiting gourmands can come for dinner and stay for breakfast by taking advantage of reasonably priced Newport Restaurant Week lodging packages while culinary enthusiasts can savor food-related events including cooking classes, Greenvale Vineyards‘ Harvest Festival and the Taste of Newport—a savory extravaganza benefiting Child & Family, the largest and most comprehensive social service provider in Newport County. Information on packages and the growing list of events can be found at GoNewportRestaurantWeek.com.
Updates on events, participating restaurants and menus can be found via our social networks, including Newport Restaurant Week’s Facebook page and on Discover Newport’s Twitter feed (use hashtag #nptrw).
