Official NYC Winter Restaurant Week Highlights

Reyna — A Royal Moment in Flatiron

Reyna (11 E 13th St.), which translates to Queen in Spanish, is participating in Restaurant Week and giving diners an elegant invitation to linger over Sunday brunch or a weeknight dinner. The $45 dinner menu (Sunday–Friday) leans into the restaurant’s playful Mediterranean spirit, with dishes like oysters topped with salmon roe, Manchego and cauliflower croquettes, and the signature lamb baklava, followed by Lebanese tacos, muhammara-rubbed steak, or piri piri roast chicken. Dessert brings ricotta fritters and olive oil cake, while the $30 Sunday brunch offers indulgent favorites like baklava French toast finished with orange blossom and pistachio.Reservations via reynanewyork.com.

Amali — Mediterranean Dining, Any Time of Day

Amali (115 E 60th St.) remains a dependable Upper East Side favorite during Restaurant Week, offering prix-fixe menus for brunch, lunch, and dinner. The $60 dinner showcases thoughtful Mediterranean cooking, think spaghetti alla chitarra, swordfish with romesco, or tamarind chicken—while the $45 lunch menu keeps things approachable with labneh, mushroom tagliolini, or Amali’s signature burger. Weekend brunch, also $45, balances comfort and elegance with olive oil pancakes, carbonara, or steak and eggs.Menus at amalinyc.com.
