Which Fort Collins Restaurants are Taking Part In Great Plates?

In Denver, they've done '5280' weekends, where 2 people enjoy full fine dining meals for $52.80. During the off season, Colorado resort towns will do 2 for 1's at their best restaurants. I know because when I was a ski bum (more of a ski bum) it was the only time I could afford to eat at nice restaurants in the Vail Valley. It's a way to fill seats, sell meals and keep their people working during less than peak tourism times. Fort Collins has it's own version, and it is going to be delicious.

Participating restaurants wil be offering $25 meals for a full two weeks. We will be able to enjoy the best of the best for that price. It's a great way to explore restaurants we haven't tried before, or go back and enjoy favorites.

Great Plates is also expanding to breakfast. Some restaurants will be offering $2.50 plates.

Here's what DowntownFortCollins.com has to say about Great Plates.
