Ten Reston restaurants will offer three-course prix-fixe menus with prices ranging from $25 to $65 during Metropolitan Washington Summer Restaurant Week, running Monday, Aug. 24, through Sunday, Aug. 30.
The lineup spans Reston Town Center, Reston Station and the surrounding area, according to Patch, which listed all 10 participants. Options include Italian, Peruvian, seafood, steakhouse and Mid-Atlantic spots alongside American pubs. Brunch and lunch menus range from $25 to $35, while dinner menus run $40 to $65.
The timing is notable for families: Fairfax County Public Schools starts its 2026–27 school year the same day, Monday, Aug. 24, making the week a last chance for a summer dinner out before homework kicks in.

How to participate
The Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington is still adding menus to its listings page. Prices and availability vary by restaurant, so diners should check the site or contact restaurants directly before heading out. Reservations are recommended.
Restaurant Week runs all seven days, Aug. 24–30. The Reston Community Players' 59th season at CenterStage goes on sale the same month for residents looking to keep the outings going into fall.
