The Connecticut Restaurant & Hospitality Association (CRHA) is a nonprofit trade association based in Wethersfield, Connecticut, representing Connecticut’s restaurant and hospitality sectors and is the state's sole organization focused on advancing these interests. It functions as a member-based entity with a mission to support business owners so they survive and thrive, backed by a network of more than 2,000 members and an active board. The association carries out work in government relations, communications, and legal affairs, and maintains a partnership with the National Restaurant Association. The CRHA collaborates with CHEF to protect, advance, and educate the industry. In 2025, it launched a redesigned website and member interface to improve engagement, and it hosts industry events such as the CRAZIES Awards at Foxwoods and fundraising efforts for the Restaurant Advocacy Fund.
