Last year's Spokane Restaurant Week is now Inlander Restaurant Week, and it's coming up in February.

This year’s restaurant week is coming up at end of February, and the format is similar to last year’s inaugural event: Go to a participating restaurant, get a three-course meal for a fixed price, repeat as desired.

A few things have changed, however, and the biggest change is the name: last year's Spokane Restaurant Week is now Inlander Restaurant Week. This is partially because the Inlander is again pairing with Visit Spokane to organize it, but also because — the most exciting part — restaurant week is going regional with restaurants in Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene on this year’s list of participants.

Many other things are the same: It will still be 10 days instead of an actual week; price points will still be $18 or $28; restaurants are still encouraged to offer local wine, beer and spirits.

The public release of the menus is Jan. 30, and Inlander Restaurant Week itself runs Feb. 21 to March 2. Keep track of updates on Facebook or Twitter.
