The Ultimate Passover Restaurant Guide
With Passover on the horizon, it's time to finalize your Seder plans. Perhaps you're planning to host the meal at home with friends and family for the first night, but what about the remaining seven days of the holiday? There are plenty of restaurants across the country that are planning special menus for Pesach. So sit back (or recline in this case) and let the culinary professionals take it from here.
Some restaurants are serving kosher-for-Passover menus throughout the entirety of the holiday; others are serving the special meal for one day only. The offerings also vary in terms of format — some places are going the whole mile by offering a full Seder, while others are doing prix fixe or tasting menus or just adding a few Passover-friendly dishes to their regular menu.
Whether you're looking for an out-of-the-ordinary Passover experience, like perhaps a Mexican-inspired Seder or an innovative Mediterranean feast, or a more traditional one, The Daily Meal has you covered this holiday season.
