While you can, and should, support women-owned restaurants every day of the year, there are a couple of especially good times to do it, including the entirety of March (Women’s History Month), March 8 in particular (International Women’s Day), and August 26 (Women’s Equality Day). To help you celebrate any and all of those things, we’ve compiled this list of some of our favorite restaurants owned by women (at least partially—some of these are co-owned by men), like Erica’s Soul Food, Mama Đút, and Chelo. For more ideas, check out our food and drink guide.
