Downtown Raleigh Restaurant Week (let’s call it #drrw to keep it short and sweet) is starting today! So, what exactly is DRRW? The creative culinary minds of downtown Raleigh’s local restaurants will be showcasing their expertise by creating special dishes for the whole week.
Last week, we sampled a few of the offerings from local restaurants at the DRRW menu showcase at Vidrio Raleigh. Here are all things vegetarian we tried:
919, the drink created by Vidrio Raleigh 
Meyer Lemon Posset from The London Bridge Pub 
Curried Vegetable Pasties from The London Bridge Pub 
A spread of what can be expected from all participating downtown Raleigh restaurants 
Chilled Sweet corn soup from Plates Neighborhood Kitchen 
Beautiful glass art wall at Vidrio Raleigh, Glenwood Avenue 
Summer Panzanella Salad from The Overlook 
Black Sesame ice cream from Tonbo Ramen
