Restaurant Week 2026 is upon us, meaning it’s time to see what Fort Worth eateries are serving to benefit charity.
Restaurants in Tarrant, Dallas, Collin and Denton Counties participate in the annual event, donating about 20% of proceeds from each meal to a designated charity. Tarrant County spots will support Lena Pope, a nonprofit that provides behavioral and mental health services to families and children in need.
This is the culinary event’s 30th year, according to the Restaurant Week website, with restaurants providing brunch, lunch and dinner specials Aug. 10-Sept. 7. Foodies can also get a taste of what’s on offer during Preview Weekend Aug. 6-9.
Participating restaurants offer at least one of the following specials:
- Two-course weekend brunch for $29
- Two-course lunch for $29
- Three-course dinner for $49 or $59
- Signature Experience dinners for $99 feature an “exclusive VIP experience” crafted by each restaurant. Features may include signature cocktails, chef’s table or additional courses crafted for an especially memorable meal, according to the website.
Here’s a look at just a few of the Fort Worth spots where foodies can grab a bite and benefit charity.
Dinner and cocktails at La Cabrona
La Cabrona will offer lunch and two $59 three-course dinner options Aug. 6-Sept. 7.
Their menu shows the first dinner option kicking off with guacamole and pico de gallo followed by rib-eye tacos with tuétano bone marrow.
A signature cocktail is listed as the third course, with diners choosing between two tequila-centered beverages: la Sandia and el Borracho. The former combines La Pulga blanco with watermelon, jalapeno, lime, agave, cointreau and a tajin rim, while el Borracho brings together La Pulga anejo, lime, agave and Grand Marnier with a salt rim.
Those looking to forgo spirits can substitute the cocktail with a cup of tortilla soup and a choice of traditional or coffee flan for dessert.
Queso blanco or guacamole are among the appetizers, as is a house margarita served frozen or on the rocks with La Pulga blanco. It’s diner’s choice again for the entree, with enmoladas de pollo, quesabirria, and two iterations of Tacos de Cabron –– chopped steak or shrimp.

Lunch and Signature options at Emilia’s
Emilia’s, the Italian-inspired restaurant housed within The Crescent Fort Worth hotel, is offering lunch and Signature Experience options Aug. 6-30.
According to a press release, lunch starts with a Parma chopped salad with grilled chicken, lettuce, Castelfranco, mozzarella, fontina, cherry tomatoes, salami and Parma ham. Guests then choose the entree, either rigatoni with short rib and pancetta ragu or creste di gallo pasta with rock shrimp, tomato and fra diavolo sauce.
The Signature Experience menu is a three-course meal complete with appetizer, a main and a cheesecake dessert. Diners’ choices of appetizer are meatballs with Parmesan, pomodoro sauce and sourdough or hummus with veggies, espelette and pita.
