Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

The Arizona Restaurant Association announces the return of its annual Spring Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW). Taking place at participating dining establishments from Friday, May 20 through Sunday, May 29, Spring Arizona Restaurant Week features specific three-course menus at a variety of restaurants throughout the state.

Arizona Restaurant Week serves as a time to showcase the state’s culinary breadth and highlight the talent of chef-driven establishments while giving diners an opportunity to try new menus for a great deal. During this 10-day culinary event, participating restaurants offer three-course prix fixe menus for just $33, $44 or $55 per person, or even per couple in some instances.

Dishes not normally served are often featured on these menus, giving chefs a chance to think further outside their creative box and use very seasonal items while giving diners a taste of something new. Some restaurants also offer wine pairing selections to accompany the menu for an additional cost. Takeout is also available at participating restaurants. Returning ARW participants already committed to this year’s event include:

Blue Agave Mexican Cantina
Buck & Rider
Charleston’s Restaurant
Chelsea’s Kitchen
MATCH Market & Bar
Paul Martin’s American Grill
The Canal Club
The House Brasserie
Thirsty Lion Gastropub locations in Tempe Marketplace, Gilbert, Chandler and Desert Ridge
University Club of Phoenix

The Arizona Restaurant Association welcomes new and returning restaurants to participate in Arizona Restaurant Week. Applications can be completed online at www.azrestaurant.org/arw/.

Beginning May 1, a complete list of Spring Arizona Restaurant Week participants and their menus will be posted via www.arizonarestaurantweek.com. As new restaurants are added, the website will be updated to reflect the most comprehensive list of choices.
