The Downtown Business Association (DBA) is excited to announce the launch of the First Annual San Clemente Restaurant Week, set to take place from October 10 to 19, 2025. This inaugural citywide culinary celebration aims to engage all San Clemente restaurants while highlighting the vibrant and expanding dining scene in the downtown area.

During this week-long event, participating restaurants will offer prix-fixe menus, featuring lunch options for $30 and dinner for $40. This initiative provides both locals and visitors with the opportunity to savor the finest food and beverage offerings that San Clemente has to offer.

A key highlight of the week will be the Taste & Stroll event, scheduled for Saturday, October 18, in downtown San Clemente along Del Mar and El Camino Real. This walkable experience will include:

• Price-fixed menus from various downtown restaurants

• Special promotions and discounts from local retailers

• Restaurant-retail pairings, where shops will host tastings in-store

    and provide same-day promotions

• Live acoustic music throughout the district from 2 to 8:30pm

“This event is a celebration of our entire city’s food culture, but the heartbeat of it all is right here in downtown,” stated Kathleen Roland, Director of the San Clemente Downtown Business Association. “Restaurant Week and Taste & Stroll are about showcasing the local flavor — in every sense of the word.”

While member restaurants of the Downtown DBA will enjoy additional promotional benefits and visibility, all eateries in San Clemente are encouraged to participate in this exciting event.

Further details, registration information, and sponsorship opportunities will be announced soon. For the latest updates, visit www.scdba.org or follow the San Clemente Downtown Business Association on Instagram @sanclementedowntown.
