Nantucket Restaurant Week

Nantucket Restaurant Week returns September 28 through October 4, 2026, giving diners seven days to enjoy special menus from some of the island’s best-known chefs and restaurants.

The timing alone makes it a favorite. September brings quieter streets, warm ocean water and a better chance of getting the dinner reservation you want. Restaurant Week adds another reason to plan an early fall visit.

The 2026 lineup includes The Pearl, Billie’s, or, The Whale, Sister Ship, bar Yoshi, Slip 14, Gaslight, Black Eyed Susan’s, Company of the Cauldron, Proprietors Bar & Table, The Summer House, Breeze at The Nantucket Hotel, Pip & Anchor, Topper’s at The Wauwinet and Ethos Nantucket.

New participants are still being added. Check the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce for the latest restaurant list and individual menus.

Restaurant Week is a good excuse to revisit a longtime favorite or book a table somewhere new. Participating businesses will feature seasonal dishes, island ingredients and their own takes on Nantucket dining.

The Restaurant Week Grand Tasting will be held Thursday, October 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Café 22.

The afternoon spotlights private chefs, food makers and other local culinary professionals whose work is often found at private dinners and events. Guests receive a tasting bingo card, sample their way around the room and collect stamps for a chance to win Chamber prizes.

Tickets are $50 per person and can be purchased through the Chamber’s event page.

Restaurant Week closes with a Family Food Truck Festival on Sunday, October 4, from noon to 3 p.m. at Children’s Beach.

The free event will feature island food trucks, local makers, live entertainment at the bandstand and lawn games for children. If weather forces a postponement, the festival’s rain date is Sunday, October 11.
