Some restaurants are serving kosher-for-Passover menus throughout the entirety of the holiday; others are serving the special meal for one day only. The offerings also vary in terms of format — some places are going the whole mile by offering a full Seder, while others are doing prix fixe or tasting menus or just adding a few Passover-friendly dishes to their regular menu.
Whether you’re looking for an out-of-the-ordinary Passover experience, like perhaps a Mexican-inspired Seder or an innovative Mediterranean feast, or a more traditional one, The Daily Meal has you covered this holiday season.
