Downtown Restaurants
Downtown Harrisonburg has a burgeoning culinary culture and an array of offerings not typically found in cities of our size. With over 25 eating establishments in the downtown district, a popular and growing farmers market, a co-op grocery store, food tours, a focus on diverse ethnic and local foods, and a variety of food-related events, it's easy to see why downtown Harrisonburg has been dubbed by many as “Restaurant Row.”
