Fort Collins restaurants: The 27 meal specials of Bon Appetit Week

Break some bread in downtown Fort Collins as part of the area's second annual restaurant week.

Starting Nov. 11, Bon Appetit Week — as it's been officially renamed — boasts breakfast, lunch, dinner and all-day meal specials at 27 participating Old Town bars, restaurants, coffee shops and ice cream spots.

The specials range from cozy cups of hot chocolate to four-course dinners for one. Unlike Great Plates — another downtown restaurant promotion that provides two weeks of $25 meal deals to benefit the Food Bank for Larimer County — Bon Appetit Week was created last year as a way to celebrate and support Fort Collins' downtown dining scene. The week, which was formerly called Downtown Fort Collins Restaurant Week, also gives chefs a space to highlight some creative meals not typically found on their menus, according to the Downtown Development Authority.

Bon Appetit Week will end Nov. 20. For more information, visit downtownfortcollins.com.
