From January 23 through February 1, 2026, more than 120 restaurants across nine counties will roll out three‑course prix‑fixe menus priced between $30 and $55, giving locals and visitors a chance to explore the region’s culinary scene without breaking the bank.

Whether you’re a South End foodie, a Lake Norman weekender, or someone who plans their social life around reservations, Queen’s Feast is your annual excuse to try something new, revisit a favorite, or finally book that spot you’ve been eyeing on Instagram

What Makes Queen’s Feast Special

Charlotte Restaurant Week isn’t just a dining promotion — it’s a citywide celebration of local flavor. For 10 days, restaurants across Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, Cleveland, Union, Lincoln, Catawba, Stanly, and York counties craft curated menus that highlight their best dishes at accessible price points.

Expect everything from chef‑driven tasting menus to comfort‑food classics, global flavors, and neighborhood gems that rarely offer prix‑fixe options.
