GRAND RAPIDS, MI - West Michiganders should mark their calendars for a culinary celebration returning to the region next month.

Restaurant Week GR takes place from Nov. 7-15 for its 16th year. Chefs across Grand Rapids will showcase unique dishes and pairings, offered at three fixed-priced levels: $25, $35 or $45 for two or more courses.

Last year, the James and Shirley Balk Café won the People’s Choice Award. This year, foodies can again utilize the event’s digital pass to vote for who will recieve the top honors.

Additionally, voters can unlock prizes by checking in at participating restaurants with the digital pass. This year’s rewards include coveted tickets to the Nov. 22 International Wine, Beer and Food Festival at DeVos Place, plus an exclusive Restaurant Week GR apron.
