Wildwoods December Restaurant Week runs from Friday, November 27 to Sunday, December 6, 2026. Participating restaurants across the Wildwoods serve prix fixe menus at set prices: $15 breakfast, $20 lunch and $45 dinner. The Greater Wildwood Chamber of Commerce runs it, and it starts the day after Thanksgiving, the same weekend as the North Wildwood beach bonfire and the downtown holiday shopping village. Here’s how it works, what else is on those ten days, and the Coastal Collection hotel that’s open for it.

How it works
Participating restaurants offer special prix fixe menus at those three prices. Pick a place from the chamber’s list, check its Restaurant Week menu, and book a table where the restaurant takes reservations. Off-season hours vary, so call ahead, especially early in the week.
Restaurant Week also runs in June and August. If you’ve been for the June edition or the August edition, December is the off-season edition, during the island’s holiday events.
