Anacortes Cuisine Scene
2026 Winter Restaurant Campaign:
The Anacortes Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Anacortes Alliance are teaming up to serve our restaurants with a free, three-month marketing campaign designed to boost business during the slower winter season.
From January through March, this campaign highlights themed specials, encourages more foot traffic and takeout orders, and reminds both locals and visitors that Anacortes offers a world of flavor right here at home.
Restaurants participate by signing up for monthly features, sharing photos and promotions, and highlighting their best dishes, desserts, and drinks. In return, the Chamber and Alliance amplify their offerings through newsletters, flyers, social media, and this dedicated Anacortes Cuisine Scene webpage—all at no cost to the restaurants.
January Theme: “Let Us Cook for You”
After weeks of holiday prep, hosting, and cleanup, it’s time to relax. Anacortes restaurants are ready to serve up hot, delicious meals—no mess, no fuss. Just call or order online, pick it up, and enjoy the taste of local cuisine from the comfort of home.
Sample Slogans:
-
Support local. Eat well. Rest easy.
-
Tired of cooking? Let Anacortes chefs take over.
February Theme: “Fall in Love with Local Flavor”
This February, romance is on the menu. Whether it’s Valentine’s, Galentine’s, or simply treating yourself, Anacortes restaurants are serving up love by the glass and by the spoon. Enjoy featured cocktails, decadent desserts, and festive specials all month long.
Sample Slogans:
-
February is here, and love is in the air—and on the menu!

Celebrate Fat Tuesday with flavor! 💜💚💛
March Theme: “Wine Month”
In March, we raise a glass to wine pairings. Local restaurants will highlight perfect wine-and-dine experiences, pairing entrees with recommended wines and featuring staff favorites. Some locations will also offer beer or cocktail pairings by request.

Discover new pairings, one glass at a time.
