PORTLAND – If you missed this year’s Restaurant Week in March, no worries – you’ll get a second chance in October.

A second Restaurant Week is being planned for Oct. 24-31, the week following the Harvest on the Harbor food festival.

The formula will be the same, with restaurants offering three-course meals priced at $20, $30 or $40. But this time around, menus will be searchable by categories such as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.

Restaurants will be able to edit their own menus on the Restaurant Week website, www.mainerestaurantweek.com. A mobile option will be added soon so that diners can look up participating restaurants from their mobile phones.

Restaurant Week is not moving permanently to October. The event will return March 1-12, 2011.
