One of the many things I love about going to school in the town of Fairfield is the seemingly endless choices of delicious restaurants to eat at. And luckily, from Oct. 25 to Nov. 7, the state of Connecticut is hosting its annual “restaurant week,” which 28 Fairfield restaurants are participating in. 

Within these 14 days, all dine-ins will offer varying features such as reduced prices or special menus for all customers! 

As for fee changes, Beijing Restaurant is implementing 10 percent off with a purchase of $20.00 or more, while Malibu Taco created a “Malibu Family Feast”. This menu item feeds four to five people for only $59.99, but is available for take-out only.

A Fairfield resident and student favorite, Colony Grill, is offering a two-person increment dinner special. For only $30, two customers can get two pizzas with the choice of two toppings and two draft beers! 

If you’re craving a Mexican palette, Puerto Vallarta has a choice of one appetizer, one entree and one dessert at both lunch ($20) and dinner time ($35). At lunch (Monday through Friday 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) appetizers include mini taquitos lindos, mini nachos or four vallarta wings, while entrees include arroz con pollo, chimichangas or fajitas. Churros are the only option for dessert. 

When it comes to dinner, you can choose one of the following appetizers: mini taquitos lindos, mini nachos or mini ceviche. For entrees, customers can pick steak oaxaca, mole poblano or a vallarta special. Lastly, you can eat either mousse cake, flan or tiramisu for dessert. 

For an Indian taste, Taj Indian Cuisine offers a limited-time lunch and dinner menu. For $20, customers can choose between a mulligatawny soup or garden salad, a range of curry options (tikka masala, saag, vindaloo, chettinadu or korma), a choice of protein (chicken or mixed vegetables) and buttered or garlic naan and rice pudding for dessert at lunch (Monday through Friday 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.). 

During dinner, customers can pay $35 for the same thing but with a few additional choices. In appetizers there is an added choice of vegetable samosa or chicken cutlet, in protein, you can pick shrimp or lamb (as well as the chicken and mixed veg.) and either pick for naan. For dessert, Taj Indian Cuisine offers carrot halwa or gulab jamun in addition to the rice pudding.

As for Italian food, Sonia’s Gourmet Kitchen provides customers with a menu that comes to $35 for the choice of one appetizer, one entree and one dessert. For appetizers, you can choose salmon tartar, crispy artichokes, crispy calamari, caesar salad, SGK house salad, butternut squash soup, buffalo wings or crispy mozzarella. The entree menu includes chicken francese, chicken marsala, NY strip steak, salmon, mah mahi, cauliflower crust green forest pizza, cheeseburger or Mediterranean spicy spaghetti. For dessert, you can order either tiramisu or mixed berries.

Bella Sera is another restaurant that has a price fix of $35 for the same routine but different options. For appetizers, you can eat arancini with pomodoro sauce, a salad with poached pears, walnuts and gorgonzola or caprese salad with fresh tomato, mozzarella and basil. As for entrees, Bella Sera serves pumpkin and mascarpone ravioli, rosemary chicken and mushroom risotto or pork chop milanese. Lastly, dessert includes creme brulee cheesecake, limoncello cake or tiramisu.

For readers with dietary restrictions, The Stand Vegan Cafe has one lunch and one dinner special. During the day, the “TLT” is served for just $15. This meal includes a hearty sandwich with tempeh bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado on toasted sourdough with a side of fries and Cross Culture Kombucha. For late-night meals, customers can try grilled delicata squash with lentil bolognese, lemon-roasted broccolini with garlic confit, toasted sourdough, parsley oil and Cross Culture Kombucha for just $25. 

These are only a few of the numerous restaurants you can visit in the next few days! All dine-in locations have a large selection of mouth-watering items that are low-cost, for a limited time only. You definitely don’t want to miss out on these tasty meals!
