From June 1st through 8th, local foodies and visitors can indulge in the best of Old Pasadena’s award-winning restaurants, and help feed those in need at the first ever Old Pasadena Restaurant Week. Over 25 of Old Pasadena’s finest restaurants have joined together for an even lasting eight straight days where diners will savor three gourmet courses at one great price, starting as low as $15, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Union Station Homeless Services.
A diverse array of the area’s restaurants will offer three course pre-selected meals at a special deal with deluxe dinning at $15 for lunch and $25 for dinner or fine dining at $25 for lunch and $35 for dinner.
Exquisite dishes prepared by the area’s most talented chefs include:
redwhite + bluezz’s Berkshire pork raised in Snake River Farms, Idaho, complemented with a creamy blueberry-cambozola bread pudding, baby greens and a port wine finish, Green Street Tavern’s duck panini with caramelized onions, roasted plum and Manchego cheese, Heritage Wine Company’s eggplant cannelloni stuffed with three cheeses, walnuts, tarragon and beet reduction sauce, Sushi Roku’s seared Albacore sashimi with garlic ponzu sauce, Malagueta’s grilled steak served with plantains, salsa campanha, chimichuri sauce and black beans and rice and La Grande Orange’s olive oil savory cake.
