There’s extra motivation this week through Sunday for those who may have balked at the thought of ordering something plant-based at a local restaurant.
Monday marks the start of Fort Worth’s first Blue Zones Restaurant week, wherein dozens of eateries promote plant-based menu items at special prices and discounts. From veggie curries, grain bowls, and soups, entrees incorporating plant-based, non-processed ingredients have the spotlight for seven days.
“Blue Zones Project, Fort Worth is led by Texas Health Resources and teams with schools, businesses, community leaders, and residents to support longer, better lives,” a news release reads. Fort Worth, the nation’s largest Blue Zones Community, has more than 90,000 people and more than 340 groups coordinating to promote wellness.
Here’s a list of participating Fort Worth restaurants and cafes:
- Black Cat Pizza
- Boulevard of Greens
- Branch & Bird
- Buffalo West
- Café Modern
- Clean Juice
- Cuisine for Healing
- Freshii
- Grand Cru Wine Bar & Boutique
- Great Harvest Bread Co.

- Oliva Italian Eatery
- Pho District

Guests should be sure to tell servers they’re there for Blue Zones Restaurant Week when ordering to secure the special discount. Moreover, grab a pic of your meal and tag Blue Zones Project Fort Worth on Facebook (@BlueZonesProjectFW) and Instagram (@BZPFortWorth) with the hashtag #BlueZonesRestaurantWeek for a chance to win a restaurant gift card or a copy of Dan Buettner’s new book, “The Blue Zones Kitchen.” Two random winners will be chosen each day.
