NYC Restaurant Week 2026 - Dinner at the Cafe

Restaurant Week is back at Little Chef Little Cafe!

After an incredible response to our inaugural Restaurant Week Chef's Table, we're excited to welcome guests back for another intimate Filipino American dining experience hosted by Chef Diana Manalang.

This is a communal Chef's Table experience, where all guests are seated together at one shared table, creating a warm, connected evening centered around exceptional food, conversation, and community—with Chef Diana present throughout the night.

NYC Restaurant Week runs from Monday, July 20 through Sunday, August 16. Chef's Table dinner service will be offered on select evenings throughout Restaurant Week, while our Restaurant Week lunch menu will be available daily during regular café hours—simply stop by and enjoy, no reservation required for lunch.

Dinner guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated three-course, family-style menu featuring an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Created exclusively for Restaurant Week, the menu is served as designed to preserve the integrity and flow of the Chef's Table experience.

Reservations and a deposit are required to secure your seat. Deposits (tickets) are non-refundable but may be transferred to another guest. Due to the intimate, single-table format and carefully timed seatings, prompt arrival is essential. Guests arriving more than 15 minutes after the scheduled seating time will not be admitted and will forfeit their deposit.

An assortment of soft drinks will be available for purchase, and guests are welcome to bring their own beverages. Please note that we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies for this special menu. Dinner is by reservation only; walk-ins cannot be accommodated.

Seating remains extremely limited for this one-table Chef's Table experience. If you missed us last time—or have been waiting to return—we'd love to welcome you to the table for another unforgettable Restaurant Week.
