Fairfax is for lovers ❤️
2023 Fairfax City Restaurant Week is coming! Fairfax, VA is part of Northern Virginia and Virginia is for lovers. And you may know Fairfax, VA as a suburb in the powerful DC metro area. Or you may have heard of Fairfax City, VA because of the sad Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial. 😭
And no matter how you’ve heard…
It’s where George Mason University is located and that I know all so well in its richly growing ivy and goldenrod yellow colors… Go Patriots!
Still, Fairfax is in the heart of bustling Fairfax County… and yet it’s a bit country (compared to DC).
And every year there are fun events like an annual Fairfax Fair with all the fun bells and whistles that you would think would be at a country fair like fried and cheesy foods everything.
And out in Fairfax country (haha), for 2023 Fairfax City Restaurant Week, PJ Skidoos is a fun happy hour American bar that has lasted years and before I was a college student. Many restaurants in the area have not. So that’s sayin’ something special about the meeting place establishment.
Their Restaurant Week menu is $25 for a 3-course lunch and $40 for a 4-course dinner.
And Red, Hot, And Blue is a chain but also a phenomenon because it’s the only place that’s stayed after many restaurant changes on that iconic corner on 123 (Chain Bridge Road). It’s as shocking as the red-painted walls. and the barbecue fits in the country. 😃
And The Wine House is the more upscale dining you’d find in a ‘burb type of place.
And for Italian fare, Belissimo Restaurant could be good to try.
And if you want the foodie DC restaurant experience, then you can check out my list of restaurants that I’m over the moon for.
