This week, Savor Fort Wayne is kicking off! The goal of Savor Fort Wayne is to encourage residents to try new restaurants and support local food establishments.  If you missed last week’s post, I shared a few of my all time favorite Fort Wayne restaurants, and most of them are participating! Each participating restaurant can be found here on Visit Fort Wayne’s website. This year, there are 65 restaurants that are participating, which I think is absolutely incredible.

MENUS I’M EXCITED ABOUT

1. Nawa – Located on The Landing, I will be dining at Nawa for the first time ever! I’ve heard nothing but great things about Nawa, and am thrilled to expand my palate to include more Asian inspired cuisines. Priced at $32 or $36 per person for a 3 course meal, check out their Savor menu here.

2. Birdies – This gem is perched atop The Bradley Hotel. Their Savor menu includes items that are not normally found on their every day menu (like a Chicken Parm or Mushroom Risotto). We will definitely be dining here! $35/person for 3 courses.

3. Trubble Brewing – I absolutely love that Trubble is offering a dinner option and a brunch option, which includes white chocolate peppermint french toast. Like, are you kidding? SIGN ME UP. Check out their Savor menu for information on when each menu is available. Prices range from $25/2 people to $35/2 people.

4. Mercado – Listen, I talk about Mercado all the time. I would move into this restaurant if I could. Kidding. Kind of. Anyways, their Savor Menu is $32 per person but includes 3 courses, which I think is a great deal. 

5. Kanela Blended Drinks & Bites – I stopped in to Kanela for the first time last week and loved it. Kanela offers coffee + lunch items, and I think their Savor menu looks great. Check it out here! This is a nice option if you’re looking to support local, but don’t have the time for a full blown dinner! All options are under $12.

6. Oh Five Scoop Shop – I’ve never been, but hope to stop in during this event. They’re offering 3 different dessert options, all under $13 each! I’ve seen photos of their ice cream Nach-Oh’s, and it looks delicious (and also like I’ll need a Tums afterwards).

If you stop into any of these places, or any other places, I would absolutely LOVE to hear about your experience!!
