Salem Restaurant Week Returns For 2026

SALEM, MA — Downtown restaurants are being sought to participate in the return of Salem Restaurant Week for 2026 as part of the Salem 400+ Celebration.

Restaurants in the downtown, Derby Street and waterfront area are being sought to offer fixed-priced meals as part of a 10-day event designed to bring visitors to the Witch City at a time of year when business is typically slower.

This year's event is being broken up into two, five-day stretches in January. The first week begins on Jan. 18 and runs through Jan. 22. The second week begins on Jan. 25 and ends on Jan. 29.

Participating Restaurants will offer either/or a 3 Course Prix-Fixe Menu for $45 or a 2 Course Prix-Fixe Menu for $35.

This popular culinary event draws guests from all over the North Shore and the greater Boston area.

Restaurants may also be offering special drink menus with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails.

Restaurants interested in participating in this year's event are invited to apply online here.
