Eating Our Way Through Shreveport

Go ahead, twist our arm!
The 318 Restaurant Week, a citywide promotion of local restaurants organized by the Shreveport-Bossier Convention and Tourist Bureau and its partners, returns March 18 through 23 at more than 50 participating restaurants. Lunch and dinner specials for $10 and $20 respectively will be offered, as well as 10 special dining experiences.
The goal of Shreveport-Bossier City’s 318 Restaurant Week is to encourage locals and visitors alike to explore the twin city’s restaurant scene. The promotional pricing, special menus and dining events encourage people to try out new places or revisit old favorites. Participating restaurants range from casual eateries to upscale restaurants.

“Crossroads of the South” at Bella Fresca, Monday, March 18
“Brazilian Steak Night” at The Petroleum Club, Tuesday, March 19
