Leave it to the French to invent a dining concept that feels both indulgent and practical.
The idea of prix fixe dining dates back to late-1800s Paris, when restaurants began offering selected menu items at reduced prices during off-peak hours. The goal was simple: restaurants filled seats during slower periods, while diners were encouraged to explore dishes they might not normally order at peak-hour prices. Literally translated, prix fixe means “fixed price,” but in practice, it delivers a curated, full-course experience without guesswork.
Today, prix fixe menus are enjoying a resurgence, appealing to everyone from casual diners to food enthusiasts looking for value without compromise. With a set price that typically includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, chefs are able to highlight signature dishes while guests enjoy a well-rounded meal at a predictable cost — a welcome benefit in uncertain economic times.
Atlantic City has embraced the format in a big way, particularly across Caesars Entertainment’s three resorts — Caesars Atlantic City, Harrah’s Resort, and Tropicana Atlantic City — where exclusive multicourse menus are now available at some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants.
“Dining is an essential part of what makes a visit to Atlantic City memorable,” says Barron Fuller, Regional President of Caesars Entertainment. “These curated menus invite our guests to savor the experience and explore a variety of flavors without having to choose just one signature dish.”
