El Chorro

A staple of Paradise Valley since 1937, this upscale American-style restaurant and winner of the 2014 OpenTable Diner’s Choice Award has been impressing diners for decades. The sumptuous white terra cotta buildings and alcove fireplaces give the restaurant a feeling of the great Southwest, and El Chorro’s famous sticky buns can’t be missed. A favorite for weddings and local events, the seasonal menu includes staples such as wild salmon with beurre blanc and pan-roasted duck. elchorro.com.
