18th City Restaurant Week – Wilmington, Delaware
April 24 – April 29, 2023
Wilmington’s fine dining scene is marked by a distinguishing characteristic:
It is dominated by owner-operators. In other words, there is not a chain restaurant in the bunch.
So each spring, when those restaurateurs team up to present City Restaurant Week, they view it as a personal invitation. It’s the equivalent of your neighbor inviting you for dinner.
With Wilmington’s finest restaurants to select from, offering everything from Asian to French to Italian, you get to sample the creative cuisine of these fine dining spots with $15 for lunch and $35 or $50 for dinner (plus gratuity).
“City Restaurant Week enables us to create fresh menus for the spring, plus it puts emphasis on trying new things and new restaurants within our community,” says Dan Butler, owner, of Piccolina Toscana. “CRW is a reminder that this city has remarkable dining options in close proximity to one another.”
“City Restaurant Week is a great opportunity for people to try new items and flavors and gives our line chefs an opportunity to express their creativity.” – John Constantinou, Walter’s Steakhouse
Reservations strongly suggested.

“Le Cavalier” (pronounced: luh-KAH-vuhl-YAY) honors the deep equestrian tradition in the Brandywine River Valley. In the early 20th century when the Hotel opened, visitors would arrive by horse as often as they would by automobile or by foot. Finally, the du Pont family’s history of horsemanship, from William du Pont Jr. and Marion du Pont Scott to Frolic Weymouth, provided further validation of the new moniker. The Le Cav Team is excited for you to share this unforgettable experience. Influenced by the flavors of North Africa and Provençe, Le Cavalier is a neo-brasserie offering thoughtfully sourced French classics and inventive riffs on French staples paired with natural wines designed to complement our fare. It’s space is designed to be refined and equally welcoming for intimate dates, celebratory large parties, family and social gatherings and business meetings.
