El Chorro 

El Chorro in Paradise Valley is a bit of a local treasure. It opened as a school in 1934, became a restaurant and lodge in 1937 and was acquired by Jacquie Dorrance and Kristy and Tim Moore in 2009 to further preserve the restaurant’s rustic charm. On the menu, you’ll find beloved classics like beef stroganof and trout almondine—and be sure to save some room for El Chorro’s can’t-get-enough sticky buns. elchorro.com.
