We’ve gathered up the best restaurant deals that feature special menus and discounts to fuel your summer cheering; choose to dine-in, pick up for takeaway, or conveniently order delivery to support your favorite athletes and teams.
When are the 2024 Summer Games?
The 2024 Summer Games in France start on Friday, July 26 to Sunday, August 11, 2024.
What Kind of Deals Can I Find During the Summer Games?
Restaurants are offering special, limited-time menus with patriotic-themed drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts, as well as freebies and discounts during the 2024 Olympic Summer Games. Many restaurants will have multiple discounts available depending on how you order, whether it’s online or as a dine-in customer. You can also score savings when ordering through food delivery platforms like Grubhub and Seamless when you make purchases for delivery, pick-up, and takeaway. Oftentimes, these deals are available for all customers, but some deals are exclusive to reward members that will require you to download apps or register (for free) online.
