Hungry for some deals?

Dine Out Boston—once known as Boston Restaurant Week, though it’s since thankfully expanded to encompass two weeks and three Saturdays—is back for more savory steals. Running from August 1 to 15, the event sees restaurants around the Greater Boston area rolling out special prix-fixe menus for lunch and dinner. According to Dine Out Boston, close to 200 restaurants are taking part. Meet Boston and the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism serve up this twice-yearly event, with new sponsor Toast onboard this summer. 

The curated menus are a chance to hit up your go-to restaurants and save some dough, plus expand your culinary horizons to future favorites. The deals are dished out at varying price points: $27, $32, and $36 for lunch, and $38, $46, and $55 for dinner. While each restaurant defines its dining rules, most offer three-course meals, plus wine pairings and a la carte options for an additional cost. 

From steakhouses, to luxe hotel restaurants, to beloved neighborhood haunts, the event is a buffet of just about every cuisine you could hope to scarf down. Consider this your appetizer of what’s on the menu this summer.

Rev up with a three-course lunch ($32) and dinner ($46) at this Seaport arcade and bar. Offerings lean lighter or snack-y—arancini and flatbread for lunch, martini cheese dip and crispy Brussels sprout salad with vegan feta for dinner. All the better to have your hands free to play games. And buckle up: F1 is also the singular restaurant to offer a complimentary racing session as part of Dine Out Boston.

This gem from the team behind Celeste and La Royal opened within the Back Bay’s Lyrik development in April, bringing bold Peruvian flavors to Back Bay. With special menus for both lunch and dinner—at $27 and $46 respectively—find three-course meals, with some differences between the second-course lunch and dinner dishes. For lunch, pop in for classic Peruvian sandwiches, including breaded smelt or Peruvian country ham. For dinner, meanwhile, seafood in cream sauce with risotto and stir-fried sirloin await. For $30, add a drink pairing, which includes a pisco sour and other elixirs.

Since opening last November, this Cambridge farm-to-table spot has won praise from just about every outlet in town and was named the city’s best new restaurant by Boston magazine earlier this month. Meaning you might have a bit of a tough time snagging that reservation, but when you do, expect vegetable-forward masterpieces. A $55 dinner here includes four selections off the special prix-fixe menu, with beef tartar with dijonnaise, fried oyster, and custard toast, plus miso-marinated swordfish, and desserts including a black sesame panna cotta on offer. Cheers with wine pairings for an additional $35.

The Mediterranean-influenced fare at Hotel Marlowe’s long-running restaurant has long been a Dine Out Boston favorite. The special three-course menu is also your chance to snag pesto arancini, grilled steak frites or grilled swordfish with pearl cous cous, and strawberry frozen yogurt with berry collis for a cool $55.

Filets abound at The Capital Grille, where the Back Bay, Chestnut Hill, Burlington, and Dedham locations are all taking part in Dine Out Boston with $55 dinners. Each of the spots feature the same three-course menu, and a steakhouse crawl lets you try each main course—an eight-ounce filet, roasted chicken breast with fingerling potatoes, and citrus-glazed salmon—once, with a repeat fourth order of your favorite. Order up Maine lobster tail and other specials for an added fee, too.

The clam chowder at Union Oyster House in Boston. Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff – Jessica Rinaldi/Globe StaffUnion Oyster House 

You can’t get much more classic than a Boston restaurant that’s been shucking oysters for 200 years and serving everyone from presidents to Meryl Streep. While there are no oysters as part of the deal, with a three-course lunch for $36 and a three-course dinner for $46, you can definitely spring for some goodies from the raw bar for an added fee. The classic clam chowder for the first course is a no-brainer, and choose from marinated grilled shrimp or fried oysters and fries for lunch, and grilled salmon and fried oysters for dinner. Homemade apple cobbler is the only dessert, taking the guesswork out for you.

What’s a great deal Paella mixta from Estragon (Wendy Maeda/Globe Staff)Estragon

At a time when dining out is more expensive across the board (we see you, $20 cocktails) dinner at this South End tapas spot for $38 really is a steal. Dropping in for dinner involves a bit of math (probably easier before you spring for that $39 bottle of Spanish wine) as you pick three tapas from 24 options, then finish up with one of five desserts. Chilled gazpacho plus patatas bravas and calamari, with churros and spiced chocolate sauce. Serrano ham croquettes alongside blistered shisito peppers and a braised lamb empanada, chased down by a chocolate olive oil cake. The permutations are endless.

The fact that a few drink options are included in both the lunch and dinner deals (which are already affordable at $27 and $38) sees saving at this Seaport noodle bar even simpler. For lunch, choose between Thai iced tea boba or fresh limeade, with a tropical fizzy zero-proof cocktail and a red-wine blend lotus flower bomb cocktail for dinner. Both lunch and dinner feature the same offerings for first and second courses, with a few bao and veggie dishes. Pick one before diving into second courses of ramen, pho, curry laksa, or kimchi fried rice. Wrap up dinner with some silky banana pudding topped by vanilla wafers and banana chips.

On its face, lunch for $36 and dinner for $55 might not seem like a steal, but anytime you spot a sushi restaurant on this list, just know you’re saving some dough. Zuma’s offerings work a bit differently for lunch and dinner. For lunch, pick two different starters like white miso soup, tuna tataki, or a spicy yellowtail roll, then one main—say, salmon teriyaki or barley miso marinated chicken. For dinner, choose between a cucumber maki and a spicy tuna roll for the sushi course, with the same main courses and many of the same starters on offer.
