A month-long spotlight of Little Rock’s restaurants kicked off Monday, with deals on eats at some of the top-rated options in Arkansas’ capital city.
At its start, Little Rock Restaurant Month, a project of the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau, will highlight downtown fare.
From Monday through Sunday, patrons can dine on some of the area’s most recognizable restaurants along the Arkansas River and just to its south.
“Little Rock’s food scene has really taken off in recent years. In addition to our historic landmark establishments, we have seen a rise in local artisan and farm-to-table fare," said Gretchen Hall, president and CEO of the Convention & Visitors Bureau.
By the end of August, the event will have celebrated five distinct areas of the city: downtown, midtown and the River Market as well as western and southwestern portions of Little Rock.
