April in Arizona means warm weather, cool nights and, this year, the celebration of Easter. Instead of slaving over a hot stove, leave the chopping to the chefs and celebrate this holiday sitting down at one these Valley restaurants for a yummy Easter repast.

Arizona Biltmore
It goes without saying that this Valley staple will serve up some of the area’s finest foods. Hosting a Champagne-style Easter brunch in the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired dining venue, chefs will create a smorgasbord that will include tapas and Italian pastas; omelets and frittatas; main course items and carving stations. Hope that got your taste buds’ attention. For reservations call 602.381.7632. www.arizonabiltmore.com.

Estate House
Enjoy the presence of family and friends dining alfresco at Scottsdale’s much-admired Southbridge restaurant. Pop open some bubbly and sip Bellinis while Executive Chef Gio Osso prepares a decedent three-course feast for those lovers of contemporary American fare. Savor the taste of smoked Irish salmon, caramelized onion-potato cake and lemon marmalade followed by poached eggs, toasted brioche, grilled Taylor ham and aged white cheddar crema. Top off brunch with a slice of strawberry-rhubarb galette and honey gelato. 480.970.4099
