Dine Out Boston® returns for its 25th winter edition from February 23 to March 15, 2025, marking the first time that Greater Boston’s signature culinary program will run for three full weeks. Presented by Meet Boston, and in partnership with the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism, this culinary celebration gives diners the opportunity to savor delicious deals at 200 participating restaurants and restaurateurs the chance to bring in new patrons to their establishments.
This year, multiple Dine Out Boston participants are James Beard Award Semifinalists, including MIDA’s Douglass Williams and Select Oyster Bar’s Michael Serpa. Boston was also just named the #6 Best of the Best Food Destination in the United States by Tripadvisor. Only one percent of destinations make this list, and it is Tripadvisor’s highest honor, so there is no better time than now to try the best restaurants — both for locals in their own backyards or for visitors coming from across the country and across the world.
“The temperature outside is a bit cooler, but Boston’s culinary scene is hotter than ever. Winter is the perfect time to enjoy Dine Out Boston, featuring specially priced menus across greater Boston,” said Martha J. Sheridan, president and CEO of Meet Boston, in a statement. “Our growing list of restaurants offers something for everyone. From Asian or Latin fare to French, Italian, seafood, tapas and sushi. Pair your Dine Out meal with a Broadway show, museum visit and a game at the Garden. Better yet, book an overnight stay! Our city has the best culinary talent, plenty of fireplaces and heated igloos, and a creative culinary flair across our 23 neighborhoods.”
Meet Boston invites all diners to experience Boston’s vibrant and diverse restaurant scene in new ways.

Restaurants can offer as many courses as they desire at their selected price.
