With over a year now of varying regulations for restaurant operations as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, restaurants have endured extreme financial and emotional losses. The National Restaurant Association reports, nationwide 110,000 restaurants have closed during the pandemic—that is one out of every six restaurants. At the height of the pandemic’s impact on jobs last spring, California restaurants lost between 900,000 to 1 million jobs—that is out of a total of 1.4 million restaurant workers in the state. Once outdoor dining was permitted and restaurants reopened at limited indoor capacity, some of those jobs came back but the numbers went back down in December of 2020 when the stay-at-home order was reinstated and outdoor and indoor dining closed once again. In the month of January 2021, the hospitality industry lost another 70,000 jobs.

To support the San Diego restaurant industry as they make progress back towards a full reopening, the California Restaurant Association will host its first-ever April foodie adventure. San Diego Restaurant Week bundles the yields of Spring into an eight-day edible extravaganza designed to bring new life to the restaurant community from April 11–18 and features over 80 restaurants offering variations of prix fixe lunch and dinner menus at affordable prices.

This delicious week is the perfect opportunity to explore the trending food scene of the Spring 2021 season, the return to the thriving culinary scene of San Diego, and to show support for local restaurant owners who have traversed an exceptional year of challenges. Both veteran favorites and newly established eateries that have carved out their places in San Diego’s culinary bedrock will participate in this foodie favorited week operating under the most current guidelines from public officials.
