Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure as two beloved river towns, Lambertville and New Hope, join forces for the 2nd Annual New Hope and Lambertville Restaurant Week from January 12 to January 25, 2026. This exciting event, hosted by the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce and the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce, showcases the rich dining scenes on both sides of the Delaware River.
What to Expect in Restaurant Week
More than twenty renowned restaurants will participate in this gastronomic celebration, offering specially priced prix fixe three-course lunches and dinners ranging from $25 to $55. These meals feature a delightful array from cozy local favorites to extraordinary off-menu creations. Diners can look forward to unique menus that change day by day, providing numerous tantalizing options.
A Taste of Lambertville and New Hope
Both towns have built a reputation for their artistic flair and stunning river views, making them a perfect backdrop for this culinary showcase. Participating restaurants in New Jersey include Broadmoor Osteria Italiana, El Tule, and the Lambertville Station Restaurant and Inn, among others. In Pennsylvania, diners can choose from exciting spots such as Birds Nest Bar & Grille, GreenHouse New Hope, and V-Spot Vegan Food Restaurant.
Why Dining Out Matters in January
After the festive hustle of the holiday season, January often marks a slowdown for local eateries. As Carolyn Gadbois, the Vice President of the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce notes, "Dining out during January can have a profound impact on our restaurants by keeping them steady during a traditionally slower part of the year." This collaborative effort aims not only to delight diners but also to invigorate the local economy.
Discover the Community Vibe
Restaurant Week is not just about food; it's an invitation to connect with the heart and soul of the River Valley community. Michael Sklar, President of the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce, describes the event as a "win-win for foodies and culinary enthusiasts from both Pennsylvania and New Jersey." It’s a chance to enjoy casual dining with friends or to dress up for a romantic evening out—all within the unique atmospheres of these historic towns.
Exciting Extras and Unique Offers
In addition to the mouthwatering meals available at local restaurants, Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn will also have special promotions for Restaurant Week participants exploring New Hope. Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the unique offerings, as each restaurant brings its flavor and style to the table, allowing diners to experiment with various tastes and experiences.

Supporting Local Business through Culinary Collaboration
This Restaurant Week emphasizes the important connection between local businesses and the dining experience in New Hope and Lambertville.
