KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Visit KC and the Greater Kansas City Restaurant Association are proud to announce Kansas City Restaurant Week 2025 will return Jan. 10-19.
KC’s premier dining event celebrates and supports the hospitality industry by showcasing Kansas City’s diverse dining scene.
The 10-day event offers residents and visitors alike a unique opportunity to enjoy multicourse menus at exclusive prices, while also supporting local charity initiatives. Price tiers will remain at $20, $40 and $55 for diners in 2025.
Community Beneficiary
As part of KC Restaurant Week, participating restaurants pledge 10% of menu sales to three selected charities: the Greater KC Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, the Visit KC Foundation and a featured community beneficiary.
Since the annual dining celebration’s inception, Kansas City has raised over $3.8 million for local causes throughout its 15-year history.
For 2025, Visit KC and the Greater KC Restaurant Association are proud to announce House of Hope will be the featured charity for Kansas City Restaurant Week.
The North Kansas City-based nonprofit launched in 2020 just before the COVID-19 pandemic, quickly seeing a stark rise in food insecurity and an immediate need for resources in the community. Since then, House of Hope has distributed over 2 million meals across Missouri and Kansas.
"I am excited and deeply grateful that House of Hope was chosen as the beneficiary of KC Restaurant Week,” said Liz Turner, president and founder of House of Hope. “This incredible opportunity allows us to continue the mission of serving families in our beautiful city and beyond, helping us expand our reach and create lasting change through food distribution, fashion, job creation and affordable housing."
House of Hope said it plans to use KC Restaurant Week donations to increase the frequency of its monthly Family Friday grocery distribution program and expand its food category offerings.
Early Bird Registration
Early bird registration is open now through Sunday, Dec. 1 with a discounted fee for restaurants looking to participate. Registration is complimentary for restaurants with a Visit KC or Greater KC Restaurant Association membership.
