BK Restaurant Week

Until Sep 29, BK Magazine and 60 of the city’s best restaurants will join forces to serve hundreds of special dinners at a knockout fixed price of B1,000++ per person (B1,170 total) for a minimum of three courses. That’s a pretty awesome deal! In fact, it represents a saving on average of 50 percent across all BK Restaurant Week participating venues (and a lot more at some places). Restaurants taking part include perennial BK Magazine “Top Tables” such as Bunker, Quince, Appia, Gianni and Err as well as hip newcomers like 100 Mahaseth, Freebird, Aesop's, Harvest (pictured) and Haoma.
