Two weeks out of the year, there are no excuses for less than perfect meals on Nantucket.
Harpooned swordfish and dayboat scallops, smoked duck and apple cider pork belly—the dishes that make Nantucket a culinary capital have set the bar for what a restaurant week can be. Twice a year Nantucket’s best restaurants celebrate the local catches with global inspirations. And with the 2017 fall edition of
Nantucket Restaurant Week running from September 25 to October 1, now is the time to plan your reservations.

Straight Wharf is one of the many restaurants that take part in Nantucket Restaurant Week. The 2017 fall edition begins on September 25 and runs through October 1.[/caption]
For years now, the culinary minds of Nantucket have spoiled us with new flavors. Each participating restaurant presents three- or five-course dinners for only $35 to $45. There is no reason to cook all week. This is the perfect opportunity for residents to try out new restaurants and seasonal dishes, while those visiting in search of
Nantucket homes for sale can find their new favorite restaurant.
Browse the list of participating restaurants here. Favorites include the famous
Straight Wharf,
CRU with its waterfront view, and the cultural vibe of
The Proprietors. Our best advice is to book dinners early before missing out. But if reservations at
Dune or
Boarding House are booked up, try something new and be sure to keep an eye out for updates on late entries to the list.
Nantucket does it better in the fall. Nantucket vacation rental season is highest in summer, making for a quieter fall with its beautiful change of seasons. And fall on Nantucket, of course, means pumpkin chowder. This is the time to book that
Nantucket house rental. Enjoy one whole week to sample the best restaurants, rent bicycles and ride off any guilt, tour the historic homes, or just enjoy a less crowded walk along the beach.
The 2017 Fall
Nantucket Restaurant Week runs from September 25 through October 1. Reservations are recommended. Call or visit the websites of participating restaurants to ask about their special Restaurant Week menus.
