James Beard-nominated chef Shota Nakajima's restaurant Adana is just one of the 181 restaurants participating in Seattle Restaurant Week.

Last week, we put together a guide to Seattle Restaurant Week, which started on April 2 and will continue until next Thursday, April 19 (except on Friday and Saturday). Since there are 181 restaurants participating in the promotion (which offers three-course dinners for $33 and some two-course lunches for $18), we picked out some highlights for you, in categories like great deals, rising stars, favorites of Stranger critics, and restaurants associated with James Beard Award-winning chefs.

Now, as per a reader request, we've added two categories: POC-owned Restaurant Week participants and women-owned Restaurant Week participants.

We have done our best to make these lists as comprehensive as possible, but we may have inadvertently missed restaurants that deserve to be on these lists. If you know of a participating restaurant that should be included, please let us know and we’ll update it as soon as we can!
