Take a bite of Windsor

Winter bites but not in a bad way for Windsor this January.  Jan. 14 to Jan. 20 restaurants around the city will be offered a three-course meal priced from $ 10 to $35 as a part of Winter Bites Restaurant Week. Each restaurant will offer a unique menu and in addition local businesses will have events that go along with the lunch and dinner specials.

The Manchester Pub is one of many restaurants participating and will be offering some specials that include AAA steak, pork tenderloin and apple crumble à la mode for desert.

“We’re offering where you can get the option of an appetizer, entrée and desert for $ 25,” said Haley Oglan, waitress at the Manchester.

Other restaurants participating include Chanoso’s, Bull N Barrel Urban Saloon, The City Beer Market, The City Grill, Gourmet Emporium, Green Bean Coffee Company and many more which can be found on the Winter Bites website.

Something new this year that WindsorEats Winter Bite promotion will be trying is a passport stamp prize draw. Diners who eat at three or more restaurants can collect a stamp to spell out the word EAT to win a variety of prizes.

“The passport is a really cool idea this year. You go to three different places and have the chance to win gift cards and get discounts,” said Jon Hughes manager of Chanoso’s.

Some restaurant workers believe the promotion will benefit Windsor and the restaurants downtown and in surrounding areas.

“It’s a great way to get a taste of local restaurants. You’ll see how we are, what the atmosphere is like and get an overall experience that local restaurants have to offer,” said Olgan.
