Delicious homemade bread at La Posta during Santa Cruz Restaurant Week 2011.<\/p><\/div>The fourth annual Santa Cruz Restaurant Week is Oct. 3-10, 2012, and more than 30 local restaurants \u2013 from Davenport to Watsonville \u2013 are offering three-course gourmet dinners for only $25. Special menus typically include three options for each course: appetizer, entr\u00e9e, and dessert, and customers choose one selection from each course (sometimes there are only two dessert choices).<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s Restaurant Week was more popular than ever, with two dozen participating restaurants and an eight-day span (increasing from less restaurants and a seven-day span the year before). This year, with the restaurants Main Street Garden Caf\u00e9 and Oswald coming on board in the last week, the number of restaurants for customers to choose from is 32! Restaurant reservations are recommended. <\/p>\n

As Santa Cruz Restaurant Week\u2019s event coordinator Lily Stoicheff says, \u201cThere are so many restaurant owners and chefs doing truly unique things with an astounding amount of creativity with delicious results. More and more restaurants are partnering with local farms to bring the freshest and tastiest ingredients to the table.\u201d This event is a great way to discover new restaurants or revisit ones you already know and love. <\/p>\n

I will post a few menus and at least one review in the next few days. <\/p>\n
