Now in its eighth year, the foodie celebration this year includes 18 of Avalon’s restaurants dishing up a variety of specially created menus throughout the week. Some restaurants are promot-
ing a featured dish and/or beverage and others, including Avalon Grille, will be offering a prix fixe menu for the week. Diners are also invited to participate in a contest for the chance to win a $100 Catalina Island Gift Certificate. To enter, post your dine out photos on social media during the week with the hashtag #avalonrestaurantweek. Avalon Restaurant Week will also have something for those who aren’t able to make it to the island between June 4 and
10. There will be a digital version of the event called “Taste and Tour” showcasing these dining establishments along with a few special featured food items for the week. Each day, several restaurants will be promoted with a short video and/or photos which will be posted on all Love Catalina’s Social Media Channels.
