Local diners will have the chance to explore the Palos area’s culinary scene this month during the first-ever Palos Restaurant Week. The event, organized by the Palos Area Chamber of Commerce, runs Jan. 22–29, 2026.
Participating Chamber-member restaurants will offer special Restaurant Week menus or a 10% discount on the total bill. Chamber President Todd Probasco said the weeklong event aims to showcase the area’s dining options while encouraging residents to try new or favorite eateries.
“This event has been an idea we’ve discussed for several years, and we’re thrilled to see it finally coming to life,” Probasco said. “This is going to be a lot of fun and a wonderful boost for our community.”
Palos Park Mayor Nicole Milovich-Walters said she is excited for the new local tradition. “I’ve always loved Restaurant Week in the city. I think it’s a great way to get people to eat and shop local in Palos Heights and Palos Park,” she said.
