Sister Cities Lambertville and New Hope Team Up for 2nd Annual Restaurant Week
Two of the most celebrated dining scenes in South Jersey and the greater Philadelphia region are firing up one of the most delicious collaborations of the winter months. The Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce and the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce kick off 2026 with the year’s first official restaurant week. The 2nd Annual New Hope and Lambertville Restaurant Week returns from January 12 through January 25, 2026.
More than two dozen acclaimed restaurants from both sides of the Delaware River will offer specially priced prix fixe three-course lunch and/or dinner menus ranging from $25 to $55, providing diners with an exceptional culinary experience in these charming river towns. Dishes will range from local favorites to exclusive off-menu creations.
Perched along the banks of the Delaware River, Lambertville, New Jersey and New Hope, Pennsylvania have long been known as sister river towns — walkable, historic, artistic, and deeply connected by culture, commerce, and cuisine. Following the energy of the holiday season, Restaurant Week offers a perfect opportunity for locals and visitors alike to slow down, explore, and enjoy the culinary heartbeat of the River Valley.
New Jersey restaurants include: Broadmoor Osteria Italiana, El Tule, Lambertville Station Restaurant and Inn, Metá Café, Nomad Pizza Lambertville, Pru Thai, The Salt House, The Starving Artists Café and Under The Moon, plus others to be announced.
Pennsylvania restaurants include: Birds Nest Bar & Grille, Black Bass Hotel, GreenHouse New Hope, Ferry + Main Restaurant at the Logan Inn, Golden Pheasant Inn, Italian Cucina, Martine’s Riverhouse, Nektar Wine Bar, OldeStone Steakhouse, River House at Odette’s, The Ferry Market and V-Spot Vegan Food Restaurant, plus others to be announced. Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn will also offer specials for Restaurant Week diners visiting New Hope.
Make your reservations now, come hungry, and head to South Jersey and Bucks County for some of the best eats, wine lists, views, and vibes in the tri-state region. Menus, hours, and price points are posted at visitnewhope.com/restaurant-week and lambertvillechamber.com. New menus are being posted daily leading up to the event.
“New Hope and Lambertville Restaurant Week is the best of both worlds. It is a win-win for foodies and culinary enthusiasts from both Pennsylvania and New Jersey,” said Michael Sklar, President of the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce. “We are thrilled to bring together some of the most celebrated and beautiful restaurants on both sides of the river for this grand two-week event that will feature our culinary community’s best chefs, dishes, wines, and cocktails. There’s something for every taste and type of cuisine — from every setting and vibe. Come as you are for a casual weeknight out with friends and neighbors, or get dressed up and make it a special date night on the town.”
“Explore Lambertville is excited to partner with Visit New Hope again in 2026 to bring Restaurant Week to our community,” said Carolyn Gadbois, Vice President of the Greater Lambertville Chamber of Commerce. “After the big holiday push settles, we welcome locals and visitors from Philadelphia and beyond to take the opportunity to try some of the best cuisine we have to offer in our shared river towns.”
Gadbois emphasized the importance of Restaurant Week to the local business community. “Dining out during January can have a profound impact on our restaurants by keeping them steady during a traditionally slower part of the year,” she added. “By collaborating on this initiative, both chambers recognize the value of our unique restaurants and how their success strengthens the entire River Valley.”
