Falls Church Restaurant Week has really grown since its inaugural run in 2024. This year, more than 60 restaurants are participating, serving discounts on everything from bubble tea to three-course haute cuisine from Jan. 23 to Feb. 1. Bonus: The Little City’s dining bonanza slightly overlaps with Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week (as well as Alexandria Restaurant Week) and some eateries are participating in both, meaning they’re offering discounts for a longer stretch of time. Here are just a few places and flavors to discover.
Ellie Bird
Savor a three-course spread ($65) from the duo behind D.C.’s Michelin-starred Rooster & Owl. Start with a baby kale salad, fall squash toast or pear “Cacio E Pepe” (Bartlett pear with Tete de Moine cheese and black peppercorns). Then move on to mains such as braised Amish chicken or grilled branzino with farro, sunchoke chowder and bacon-fennel jam. For a sweet finish, dig into sticky toffee pudding with tamari toffee sauce and pecan crumble. A Best of Arlington 2026 winner, Ellie Bird is also taking part in DC’s Winter Restaurant week. P.S. Chef Yuan Tang’s side venture, Side Chick (same address), is serving up Asian-spiced fried chicken with add-ons such as kimchi potato salad, strawberry cheesecake and toasted marshmallow ice cream. Enjoy 10% off your Side Chick takeout order with code FALLSCHURCH. 125 Founders Ave., Falls Church
Little Falls Cafe
Step inside this charming creperie, a Best of Arlington 2026 winner, and you’ll feel like you’ve teleported to a quaint European village. For $29, enjoy a special two-course menu, plus a mimosa, with your choice of galette (a savory buckwheat crepe) filled with combos such as ham, Emmenthaler, Gruyere and a sunny-side-up egg; or roasted butternut squash, sauteed kale, scrambled egg and herbed crème fraiche. Dessert is a sweet crepe stuffed with bananas or strawberries. 106 Little Falls St., Falls Church
Northside Social
Mention Falls Church Restaurant Week at this coffeehouse and bar and you’ll receive 10% off any check over $25. The food here includes elevated breakfast items, sandwiches and salads—and Neapolitan pizza baked on-site in a wood-burning oven. A large bakery case with house-made sweets by pastry chef Bridie McCulla puts goodies such as matcha-white-chocolate cookies and Nutella pop tarts on display. Or, head to the upstairs bar for wine, beer and cocktails alongside a charcuterie plate, cheese board, hanger steak or smash burger. 205 Park Ave., Falls Church
The Falls
Find comfort in a three-course lunch ($30) or dinner ($45) starring entrees like steak frites, pork schnitzel, grilled branzino or the ever-popular Winner, Winner, Fried Chicken Dinner. The starters include deviled eggs, brisket dumplings or a winter salad with lacinato kale, orange, parmesan and Fuji apple. And for dessert? Pecan praline cheesecake. 370 W. Broad St., Falls Church
Thompson Italian
Craving Italian? Meet that wish head-on at Gabe and Katherine Thompson’s upscale-yet-down-to-earth trattoria, where the specials include winter citrus salad with fennel and pistachios; carbonara croquettes; mushroom tortelloni, rigatoni Bolognese, chocolate hazelnut cake and Katherine’s famous olive oil cake with creme fraiche mousse. The three-course dinner is $55 per person. Gluten-free pasta is available upon request. 124 N. Washington St., Falls Church
Scramble
Let the kids scamper, swing and rampage their winter energy away as you relax in the café and let someone else do the cooking. The $40 family meal deal includes two individual specialty pizzas, one large cheese pizza and four sodas, waters or juice boxes. Alternately, the sandwich meal deal features a toasted turkey pesto or chicken chipotle sandwich with a soda or water. 130 E. Fairfax St., Falls Church

Clare & Don’s Beach Shack
You might forget it’s wintertime upon entering this vibey, beach-themed restaurant, where flip-flops, fishing nets and boogie boards contribute to the chaotically festive decor. For Restaurant Week, the kitchen is dishing up pan-fried rockfish topped with creamy crab scampi. It’s served with lemon-butter orzo, asparagus and mixed greens. Apple pie a la mode is the accompanying dessert, for a total of $26.26. 130 N. Washington St., Falls Church
Café Kindred
This neighborhood hangout is serving up a special pan tomate ($16) with garlic-rubbed levain, tomato spread, prosciutto, mixed greens and a sous-vide egg. Pair it with a seasonal latte or a brunchy cocktail and relax. 450 N. Washington St., Falls Church
Harvey’s
With a three-course brunch ($25), lunch ($20) or dinner ($48), you’re sure to find something new to try at Thomas Harvey’s congenial haunt. Tuck into a house or Caesar salad, a comforting bowl of soup, deviled eggs or a fire roasted artichoke. Then explore entrée choices such as fire roasted duck breast, chicken parm, fusilli Bolognese or mushroom “scallops.” Sweet finishes include a brownie sundae, root beer float or the Sgroppino—a slushie made from sorbet and sparkling wine. 513 W. Broad St., Falls Church
The Happy Tart
Get yourself a sweet deal at this gluten-free bakery, where $10 gets you three baked goods of your choosing, including cookies, cupcakes and pastries. Feel guilty eating dessert first? Check out their savory options and make a meal of it. The shop also sells crepes and omelets stuffed with ham, egg, cheese, mushrooms and more, plus quiches and chicken pot pie. 410 S.
