Madison Black Restaurant Week

August 10 - 17, 2025

Celebrating 10 years!!

Flavors of African American, African, and Caribbean cuisine while
you discover Black-owned restaurants and culinary businesses in the Madison and Dane county region.

This flavorful event is the perfect occasion to celebrate local Black businesses while indulging in a delectable array of dishes that highlight the cultural richness and creativity of the African diaspora.

In honor of August being Black Business Month, Madison Black Restaurant Week aims to amplify and celebrate the vital contributions of Black entrepreneurs, chefs, and restaurateurs to our vibrant local culinary scene. This week-long celebration provides an opportunity for the community to come together, show support, and explore a wide variety of authentic, mouth watering cuisines crafted with passion and dedication.

Throughout the week, participating Black-owned restaurants across Madison will offer exciting discounts, special menus, and unique dining experiences to showcase their culinary talents. From soulful comfort food to exquisite African-inspired delicacies, there will be something to please every palate and ignite a sense of community pride.

Culminating the week-long celebration, we invite food enthusiasts and culture seekers to join us at the grand finale - the Madison Black Restaurant Week Food Taste Jamboree on August 10 at Warner Park!

At the Jamboree, attendees will have the chance to sample a diverse array of cuisines, mingle with local chefs, and learn about the stories and traditions behind the incredible dishes on offer.
