Foodies in Southwest Florida get excited when Sizzle Dining (former Sizzle SWFL Restaurant Week) kicks off. It's a charity-driven promotion that enhances dining out at an affordable price in Collier and Lee Counties. Over 70 restaurants participate in cities such as Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, Estero/Bonita, and Marco Island. Sizzle Dining attendees can enjoy three-course dinners starting at $29 or $39, and two-course lunches are $19 or $24.The goal of Sizzle Dining is to encourage people to dine at local restaurants during the low season and enjoy the excellent local cuisine.
Sizzle Dining is also a charity event with $1.00 from every Restaurant Week meal sold being donated directly to Blessings in a Backpack SWFL. With over 60,000 Restaurant Week meals sold since inception, this scholarship helps local High School graduates to attend the FGCU Hospitality Program and will help restaurants hire more qualified staff.
