There\u2019s been a lot of news lately about restaurants making donations to charitable causes, including my column last week<\/a>. But DFW Restaurant Week is a bit different. This annual event sees restaurants around Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties donate 20% of proceeds from a specific prix-fixe menu to a designated nonprofit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tarrant County\u2019s charity this year is Lena Pope<\/a>, a Fort Worth-based nonprofit which provides counseling and behavioral intervention programs for children and families, along with substance use treatment, teletherapy and other services, according to their website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the DFW Restaurant Week website, participating restaurants will provide at least one of the following: Three-course dinners for either $49 or $59; \u201csignature experience dinners,\u201d which might include craft cocktails or additional courses, for $99; two-course lunches for $29; or two-course weekend brunches for $29.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reservations have begun, according to a press release, and you can find a list of participating restaurants, make reservations, filter by types of cuisine and check out menus on the DFW Restaurant Week website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone looking to get in on the action early can also eat out at the following spots during Preview Week July 31-Aug. 3.<\/p>\n

Savory and sweet options at Rise Souffle<\/strong><\/p>\n

This French-inspired bistro specializes in souffles, so there are four savory varieties available as a second course in their $49 three-course dinner menu<\/a>. Rise<\/a>\u2019s signature salad, artichoke Andr\u00e9e and marshmallow soup are the first-course dishes. Mushroom, escargot, crabmeat, and ham and Gruyere are the savory souffles offered in course two, which also houses a Rise salad or seared ahi tuna steak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naturally, a classic souffle is one of three desserts, along with a chocolate souffle with raspberry and creme brulee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

5135 Monahans Ave., Fort Worth; 817-737-7473<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both $49 and $59 three-course dinner options<\/a> are on offer from Cr\u00fa Food & Wine Bar<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For $49, customers choose between shrimp potstickers or burrata and roasted tomatoes as an appetizer, followed by either chicken alla Francese<\/a> or herb roasted salmon. This dinner concludes with creme brulee or molten chocolate cake and an optional $25 wine pairing of two wines, Cakebread<\/a> sauvignon blanc and Caymus<\/a> cabernet sauvignon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The $59 menu kicks off with the same appetizers, desserts and wine pairings, but offers entrees of seared jumbo shrimp or prime bistro steak<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their three-course lunch, also $29, is served Wednesday-Friday 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Customers pick from lamb dumplings, rock shrimp and Caesar salad, then a second course of chicken salad, yakimeshi<\/a> or a French dip<\/a> sandwich. Baklava cheesecake or a flourless chocolate cake finish the meal.<\/p>\n
