Fall Restaurant Week in the Hamptons: Where to Dine, Travel Tips & More
Fall in the Hamptons isn’t just about the stunning foliage and serene beach walks. It’s also prime time for
food lovers, thanks to the annual Long Island Restaurant Week.
Originally known as Hamptons Restaurant Week before it expanded to the rest of Long Island, this week-
long event is a fantastic opportunity to savor the exquisite flavors of the East End’s renowned dining scene.
Here’s what you need to know before you go.
What is a Restaurant Week?
Long Island Restaurant Week is a tri-annual event designed to highlight the many acclaimed dining establishments across Long Island, including the Hamptons. Local restaurants, from cozy main street bistros to elegant waterfront establishments, offer prix fixe menus that showcase their culinary artistry, often featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.
● When: November 2-9, 2025 (Sunday to Sunday)
● Where: See the full list of participating restaurants and our recommendations below
● What: 3-course prix-fixe dining at participating Hamptons restaurants
Why It’s a Must-Go for Foodies
Restaurant Week supports Hamptons’ culinary scene, allowing you to indulge in a three-course meal crafted by a top Hamptons chef – an appetizer, an entrée and a decadent dessert – at special prix-fixe pricing.
It’s a great excuse to revisit an old favorite restaurant or finally try that acclaimed spot you’ve always heard about. Also, the atmosphere during fall is distinctly different from the summer: it’s more intimate, sophisticated and focused purely on the joy of good food and company.
Where to Dine
Not all Hamptons restaurants participate in Restaurant Week, and the list tends to change, so be sure to check out the current list of participating eateries at Longislandrestaurantweek.com. Here are a few popular spots to consider on the East End:
East Hampton
● The Palm. 94 Main St., Suite 1800. A legendary, high-end steakhouse famous for its prime steaks, lobster and walls adorned with celebrity caricatures.
● LDV at The Maidstone. 207 Main Str. Refined Italian-American cuisine within the chic and historic Maidstone hotel, known for its elegant ambiance.
Bridgehampton
Arthur and Sons. 203 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike. Nostalgic, old-school Italian- American classics in a trendy, retro-inspired setting.
Water Mill
● Calissa. 1020 Montauk Hwy. Brings the flavors and vibrant party atmosphere of Mykonos to the Hamptons with its expansive Greek menu, large patio and live music.
● Bistro Ete. 760 Montauk Hwy. Intimate, chef-owned restaurant offering seasonal, coastal French bistro cuisine with a strong focus on fresh, local ingredients.
How to Travel
The easiest and most comfortable way to enjoy Restaurant Week in the Hamptons is to use a local Hamptons black car and limo service like Jackrabbit Limo. This allows you to leave your car at home, so you can enjoy your drinks and dinner without worrying about driving, parking or traffic.
Tips:
● Book your vehicle and your dining reservations as early as possible to ensure availability, as Restaurant Week is very popular.
● If traveling as a group, consider a luxury SUV or a sprinter van. For couples, consider a luxury sedan for a more intimate experience.
● Make a night of it. Arrange for pickup at your home (or work), then add any stops you wish: not just your preferred restaurant, but perhaps cocktail hour at another location, drinks after dinner or local shops.
