Restaurant Week Begins the Next Day
The celebration continues on September 24, 2026, when New Milford Restaurant Week officially gets underway and runs through October 3, 2026. This year’s lineup includes 22 participating New Milford establishments offering prix fixe menus, Restaurant Week specials and other limited-time offerings. From casual favorites, pizza and barbecue to cafés, bakeries, international cuisine and more, Restaurant Week is a chance to revisit a favorite spot or finally try someplace you’ve been meaning to check out.
“We’re excited to be partnering with the Town of New Milford and the New Milford Chamber of Commerce to help celebrate New Milford Restaurant Week 2026,” said Michael Ferreira, founder of ItsRestaurantWeek.com. “Restaurant weeks play a larger role in stimulating the local economy. Increased restaurant traffic leads to higher sales not just for eateries, but for nearby shops and service providers. It’s a win win for both restaurants and the business community at large,” said Ferreira.
Dine Local and You Could Win
There’s another reason to get out and enjoy Restaurant Week this year! More than $1,000 in prizes are being offered, with five prize packages featuring gift cards and certificates from participating New Milford restaurants.
Diners can enter by visiting a participating restaurant during Restaurant Week and submitting a photo of their dated receipt. Additional qualifying receipts can mean additional chances to win. 2025 marked the debut of both Sip & Savor and New Milford Restaurant Week, with 10 eateries taking part in the kickoff event and 22 establishments participating in Restaurant Week.
This year, with Sip & Savor returning and the Restaurant Week lineup growing to 22 participating establishments, there will be even more opportunities to sample, dine and discover what New Milford’s local food scene has to offer. Whether you’re making plans for Sip & Savor, heading out for dinner with friends or using Restaurant Week as an excuse to try someplace new, there’s plenty to look forward to.
