After the chaos of Christmas, many people use January as an opportunity to stay in and recharge. But if you are planning a meal out, there’s good news, as many restaurants are enticing customers with deals on food throughout the month.

Whether you’re after a cheap meal during your visit to Ikea or celebrating a special occasion with bottomless tapas at Las Iguanas, there’s something for everyone on our list of the best January restaurant deals.

Before you book, I would recommend checking the restaurant’s website, as some locations may be excluded from the deal. It’s also a good idea to let your server know that you want to use the deal as you’re being seated so that they are aware of this.

Below are the best restaurant deals you can claim this month, as well as instructions for how to nab each deal.
