Enjoy a three-course meal at the C & O for $36.

It might just as well be called The DTM Restaurant Week, as more than half of the participating restaurants in Charlottesville Restaurant Week, a concept invented by the former staff of The Hook, and later co-opted by Cville Weekly, are on or very near the Downtown Mall. It all begins tomorrow, January 26, and runs through February 1.

For just $16, $26 or $36 you can enjoy three-course meals at some of the area's finest restaurants. Here are a list of participating restaurant on or near the DTM: Himalayan Fusion, The Southern, Ristorante Al Dente, Bang!, Blue Light Grill, The Melting Pot, the C&O, Tempo, TEN, Zocolo, Sal’s Caffe Italia, Brookville, Caffe Bocce, Fleurie, Taste of India, Rapture, and The Pointe at the Omni, and Shebeen. Up on West Main, Orzo, Maya, and L’etoile will have special menus as well. For a full list of DTM restaurants, with links to reviews, check out The DTM Food page.
