Arizona Restaurant Week: Top Picks

One of the best things (and there are many) about Arizona Restaurant Week is that there are so many participating restaurants, giving diners a chance to try out so many places that they have never been before at a discounted bill.

Maybe you have been hearing a lot about a particular spot, but have been putting off going based on the menu price point. If you go and its just not your bag, you’ve just spent a ton of money on a meal that failed to wow you. While that is unlikely to happen with any of the spots featured during Arizona Restaurant Week, it’s a great opportunity to “test the waters”. The participating restaurants will feature a prix-fixe menu in the $33 to $44 range, this amount does not include tax or gratuity or beverages (unless otherwise noted).

Arizona Restaurant Week runs from September 18th through the 27th with an overall goal of positioning Arizona as one of the top culinary destinations in the nation.

You can check out all of the participating restaurants on the Arizona Restaurant Week website, but we have picked out our top five picks from each Valley area.
