Alameda Restaurant Week 2026: World Cup Edition
Inspired by the global excitement of the FIFA World Cup, this year’s Alameda Restaurant Week brings the spirit of international competition to our local dining scene. The Soccer World Cup is the world’s largest sporting event, first held in 1930, and is celebrated for bringing countries together through friendly competition, culture, and pride. The tournament was last hosted in the United States in 1994, and will return to North America in 2026, when the City of Alameda will welcome an international team training at the Oakland Roots Training Facility at Harbor Bay Business Park. Much like the World Cup, this campaign highlights global diversity, storytelling, and community participation.
During this year’s Restaurant Week, diners will get to play food critics and champion their favorite spots by building a Restaurant World Cup Bracket. Instead of traditional matchups, participants create their own bracket by selecting their favorite restaurants from all participating Restaurant Week locations. The restaurants that appear and advance the furthest in the most brackets earn points, and one restaurant will be crowned the Alameda Restaurant World Cup Champion.
From March 20–29, 2026, food lovers can enjoy prix fixe menus and specials from participating restaurants, bars, breweries, and bakeries. Complete a Restaurant Bracket and submit receipts to win grand prizes!
