Port City Taste is southeastern North Carolina’s premier restaurant weeks, hosted by news source Port City Daily, in collaboration with its media partners and sister companies, Penguin 98.3 and The Dude 93.7.

Port City Taste is a celebration of the best specials and prix-fixe menus from local eateries and drinkeries. The official Restaurant Week is hosted each March and in 2026 there will be one in October as well. Plus, Burger Week is slated to take place in May.

The next event will happen Feb. 27 – March 8 and features almost two dozen eateries showcasing the best of local dining in southeastern North Carolina. Diners don’t need coupons, special passwords, or tickets to participate. Just head to one of the listed businesses, ask for the special menu and indulge.

Cheers!
