Anhelo, the beloved fine-dining establishment that first made waves in downtown Phoenix, has officially opened its doors in Scottsdale. The new location, at 7007 E. 1st Ave., welcomed guests beginning July 22.
“When the opportunity arose for us to bring Anhelo to Scottsdale, I wanted to recreate what I had developed in downtown Phoenix but with a new direction more suited for the Old Town crowd,” said Chef and Owner Ivan Jacobo. “I look forward to seeing our customers and to immersing ourselves in the community.”
Anhelo’s new home captures an air of timeless elegance, offering an intimate, garden-inspired setting that sets the tone for refined and memorable dining. The lush ambiance evokes the feel of a hidden oasis, ideal for both loyal patrons and new guests discovering the restaurant for the first time.
Guests can expect the same hallmarks that made Anhelo a standout in Phoenix: impeccable service, boundary-pushing cuisine, and an expertly curated wine program. This new chapter in Scottsdale also brings a heightened focus on detail and presentation, pushing the experience to new levels of sophistication.
The menu continues to reflect Chef Jacobo’s commitment to excellence, with a focus on seasonal, rare, and globally inspired ingredients. Diners can build their own à la carte experience or choose from one of several tasting menus that showcase a rotating selection of dishes.
For those seeking the pinnacle of Anhelo’s culinary artistry, the Grand Tasting Menu offers a 10-course journey through Chef Jacobo’s most refined and imaginative creations.
A highlight of this elevated experience is the signature tableside fromage cart, a unique touch that complements the menu’s intricacy. Optional wine pairings are available to further enhance the menus. To learn more or to make reservations, visit anhelorestaurant.com.
