Of the signs that spring is on its way, Tosa Restaurant Week may just be one of our favorites. Each March, this 10-day parade of discounts and deals at Wauwatosa restaurants presents an opportunity to explore something new and revisit a local favorite as we sample delicious dishes from this Milwaukee suburb. This celebration of the culinary wonders found around Wauwatosa features offers from more than 31 local shops and restaurants from March 13 to 22. Here are a few of our favorite Tosa Restaurant Week deals for you to try!
Coffee
Vendetta Coffee Bar – Wauwatosa
Half-Off Pastry with Coffee Purchase
Get your day started on the right foot at this cozy coffee shop in The Village! Purchase one of Vendetta’s signature drinks like a macchiato, latte or straight-up drip coffee and get half off your purchase on one of their imported Italian pastries, like assorted cornetto (similar to a croissant), sfogliatelle with a creamy filling or bombolino (a type of Italian donut).
Breakfast
Delicious Bites
$10 Breakfast Burrito with Coffee
A breakfast burrito, coffee and a gift card, all for just $10? That’s the real deal. Head to Delicious Bites, known for its sensational sweet treats, to savor a complete breakfast that’s so good you’ll want to come back again and again. Choose from either the veggie burrito (eggs, cheese, potato, pepper, onion and spinach) or the meat lovers’ burrito (bacon, sausage, onions and peppers), grab a coffee, and, as a special bonus, you’ll even pick up a gift card.
Lunch
Crafty Cow
$15 Gochujang Fried Chicken Sandwich
Head to Crafty Cow to find a take on chicken and waffles with their Gochujang fried chicken sandwich for just $15. This creative breakfast dish offers a little Korean flair by using Gochujang—a red chili paste that is savory and sweet, finishing with just enough kick to keep things interesting—to give their fried chicken a unique flavor, topped with kimchi and a sunny side up egg and sandwiches all of this between two waffles with a side of butter and syrup.
Dinner
Eldr+Rime
Did someone say date night? At Eldr + Rime, a Scandinavian-inspired restaurant inside the Renaissance Milwaukee West Hotel, you’ll find a steal of a meal for two, with three courses for just $55. The prix fixe menu includes a harvest salad, a choice of Faroe Island salmon with tomato burre blanc and king crab or a 6oz filet with garlic butter and finishes with a homemade cheesecake topped with strawberry sauce and whipped cream.
Sweet Treat
Joy Ice Cream Social
We scream for this deal! Treat the whole family to a pint of happiness from Joy Ice Cream Social. Whether you’re in desperate need of a taste of Exhausted Parent ice cream (bourbon-spiked espresso ice cream swirled with bittersweet chocolate chunks) or fan-favorite Munchie Madness (sweet cake batter ice cream swirled with a salted caramel ripple and brimming with Oreos, M&M pieces and peanut butter cups), pick up a little taste for yourself and earn $2 off any pint you like.
Drinks
Lion’s Tail Brewing Co.
Pair this deal with a dinner for the perfect night out, or sip and savor these four craft brews as an activity all its own. This $10 prefixed beer flight features a selection of some of Lion's Tail flagship beers, along with a few of their more experimental creations, including its Pre-Game Lager, #90 Red Vienna Lager, Juice Cloud NEIPA and Violate (a slightly fruited sour).

Start your weekend on a delicious note with a perfect pairing at The Village Cheese Shop. For just $15, enjoy a freshly made bagel with your choice of gourmet toppings, served alongside a refreshing mimosa. It’s a simple yet satisfying way to kick back, relax and indulge in a little weekend luxury.
