Feasting in the Falls: Great Falls Restaurant Week 2021
Everybody has to eat.
And Great Falls has an abundance of local restaurants, many of which are holding their own through COVID-19.
It’s been a bit since we had a community-wide restaurant week and the pandemic certainly complicates our lives, but as things are improving, it felt like a good time to celebrate all the local eateries and watering holes.
The Electric and the Great Falls Take Down and Take Out page teamed up to create a modified version of restaurant week March 1-7.
We’re calling it “Feasting in the Falls” and it’s a week with each day focused on different types of food and drink so that we can celebrate while being sensitive to COVID concerns.
We borrowed some inspiration from Jenn’s hometown area with Newport News Restaurant Awareness Week, the Great American Takeout from last year and Missoula’s Downtown Dine Local Week.
We’ve also incorporated a progressive dinner challenge that you can build for yourself any night during the week. If you share what you eat and drink, tag the establishments and post some photos in our comments on social media, you’ll be entered to win prizes.
We reached out to a bunch of different restaurants, bars, coffee shops and more and have compiled what we know so far. We’re certain we missed a few, so if you’re a business that wants to add a special/deal/featured this week, email it to jenn@theelectricgf.com and we’ll add it here and on the Take Down and Take Out Page.
So get out there, eat, drink and support local (but remember the mask requirement is still in effect in Cascade County). Try new things, visit your standbys and remember your favorites for June when The Electric will open the second annual Great Falls Greats contest.
