Dine Out Boston® is back for its summer edition from August 3-16, 2025. Presented by Meet Boston, and in partnership with the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism, this two-week culinary celebration features more than 175 participating restaurants, providing diners an opportunity to enjoy delicious deals at restaurants across Greater Boston and restaurateurs the chance to bring in new patrons to their establishments.

This year’s Dine Out Boston comes at a time when Boston is being celebrated far and wide for its culinary scene. The MICHELIN Guide announced this spring that Greater Boston will be included in the newly minted Northeast Cities edition that will be published in November. Meet Boston, together with the Cambridge Office for Tourism, developed a partnership with the MICHELIN Guide to highlight the vibrant culinary scene in Boston and Cambridge. This follows Meet Boston’s own culinary initiative that launched in 2024. This year, Boston was also named the #6 Best of the Best Food Destination in the United States by Tripadvisor. Only 1 percent of destinations make this list, and it is Tripadvisor’s highest honor. And South Boston’s iconic spot, Sullivan’s Castle Island, was also just awarded the James Beard Foundation’s “American’s Classics” award for the Northeast region.

"The accolades of this past year make it clear that Boston’s culinary scene just keeps getting better, and we want more residents and visitors alike to experience it with our Dine Out Boston program,” said Martha J. Sheridan, President & CEO of Meet Boston. “Summer is the perfect time to get out and enjoy specially priced menus in Greater Boston across a variety of cuisines, from Asian or Latin fare to French, Italian, seafood, tapas and sushi. Pair your Dine Out meal with a concert, baseball game, museum visit, or an outdoor attraction.”

Meet Boston invites all diners to experience Boston’s diverse restaurant scene in new ways. Explore more about Boston’s culinary scene at www.meetboston.com/culinary and please view our promotional video here.

Participating restaurants will offer prix fixe menus for lunch and dinner, with many offering takeout and delivery options as well. Restaurants select one of three price points and customize their lunch and dinner menus: lunch at $27, $32 or $36 and dinner at  $41, $46, or $55. Restaurants can offer as many courses as they desire at their selected price. A full list of participating restaurants is here, ranging from the award-winning restaurants of all 23 neighborhoods of Boston and throughout the city of Cambridge, to the gourmet gems in the suburbs north, west and south of the city. 

Visit DineOutBoston.com to browse menus and make reservations. Extend your Dine Out Boston experience and sleep in with an overnight getaway package at a selection of participating hotels.

Dine Out Boston includes a charitable auction component and this year’s beneficiary organizations are City Strings United and Community Work Services. City Strings United presents youth from Roxbury in high-quality musical performances which have been featured on stages around Boston for 13 years, and Community Work Services’ mission is to uplift underserved communities through their training programs that successfully place candidates in local hotels and hospitality roles—contributing to the enhancement of visitor services and experiences throughout the city.
