“Flavors of 5th” Returns Bigger Than Ever With 17 Restaurants Serving Prix‐Fixe Menus

What’s on the Menu This Summer?

The annual Flavors of 5th prix‑fixe dining event is back on Fifth Avenue South, running now through August 28, 2025. This year’s edition features 17 participating restaurants—up from 10 venues last year—with 3-course menus priced between $30 and $99. Combined with a charitable twist, it's a summer dining must.

Each prix-fixe meal sold sends $1 to Beverly’s Angels, the nonprofit supporting local essential workers and their families during the holidays. The inaugural 2024 event generated nearly $12,000 and delivered around 70 care packages.

💰 Why It Matters to Naples

Launched by the Fifth Avenue South Business Improvement District, Flavors of 5th addresses Naples’ seasonal dining slump. August’s slow tourist season leaves many independent restaurants under stress, balancing staffing, high costs, and lower foot traffic.

Last year’s event provided an estimated $450,000 economic boost to downtown Naples. It also showed that purposeful collaboration between businesses and nonprofits can deliver measurable impact.

🤝 Community, Charity & Category Mix

The heart of the event is its social good: $1 per meal supports Beverly’s Angels, which channels resources into local essential worker families—many of whom juggle multigenerational support and tight budgets.

Participating restaurants offer everything from casual to upscale three-course experiences—so there's something for every palate and price range.
