What's happening this weekend in Greenville? 1/8-1/11

This week’s edition is a treat—especially if your perfect week involves delicious meals and a mini getaway.

Greenville Restaurant Week has arrived, giving you the chance to revisit beloved favorites or finally try that spot you’ve been meaning to explore.

We’re also heading just up the road to Hotel Domestique in Travelers Rest, where it feels like you’ve ventured far beyond the city limits. Expect serene luxury, scenic Blue Ridge views, and an atmosphere designed for slowing down and recharging.

Let’s dig in.

Restaurant Week

Restaurant Week is back in Greenville, and it’s the tastiest way to ease into the new year. From January 8–18, local restaurants across Greenville County are rolling out prix fixe menus that make trying something new (or revisiting a favorite) extra tempting.

You get a thoughtfully curated meal at a fixed price, and our local restaurants get a much-needed boost during what’s typically a quieter stretch after the holidays.

Whether you’re planning a date night, a midweek treat, or an excuse to finally try that spot you’ve been eyeing, Restaurant Week is your cue to grab a fork and support local.

Just an FYI, we don't make money from these deals - we just love sharing good finds with our community.

Naked Pasta

Making your own pasta from scratch sounds fancy, but it's actually something you can do at home - and that’s what this class is all about. Naked Pasta opens their kitchen to small groups where you'll get hands-on with dough, learning to cut noodles and fill different pasta shapes.

You'll work with a glass of Italian wine in hand (or try their Pasta Pilsner if you're feeling adventurous) and get an intimate look at techniques you can actually replicate in your own kitchen. The best part? You eat what you make, then head home with the skills to turn fresh pasta into a regular weeknight thing. Their next class is Thursday, 01/15, at 6 PM.

Bananas Flambe

This tasty dessert traces its roots to New Orleans, where it's known as Bananas Foster. The classic American version adds banana liqueur before the dramatic flame and serves it over vanilla ice cream. Down in the Caribbean, they switch things up with cane sugar instead of dark brown sugar and often toss in citrus zest or coconut for a tropical twist. Either way, you're ending your meal with caramelized bananas and a little bit of dinner theater. If you like bananas and rum, you’ll love Bananas Flambe.
