Tripadvisor, the world’s largest travel guidance platform, announced this year’s award-winning restaurants in its community-powered Travelers’ Choice® Awards series: the 2022 Best of the Best Restaurants.
The list features top rated restaurants in the U.S. and around the world, including two restaurants in Arizona: Cafe Monarch and BirdHouse.
This year, the sophisticated Cafe Monarch in Scottsdale was named No. 4 on the Top Ten Fine Dining Restaurants in the U.S., while the fried-chicken specialist BirdHouse in Page was the No. 2 winner for Best of the Best Quick Bites.
Located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, Cafe Monarch welcomes guests to a world of culinary elegance and sophistication that cannot be found anywhere else in Arizona. The family-owned and operated high-end restaurant is recognized for its first-rate service, elegant ambiance and five-star cuisine. Cafe Monarch’s four course prix-fixe dinner menu offers the finest of American cuisine, featuring premium fresh, local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients, as well as vegetarian, vegan and gluten-friendly options.
Guests can also choose from a vast collection of the world’s most spectacular and unique wines using recommendations from Cafe Monarch’s qualified servers who are all trained through the prestigious Court of Master Sommeliers program. The restaurant offers glamorous, chandelier-lit indoor dining as well as outdoor seating on its charming patio. Reserve a table here.
Known for having the best fried chicken in town, BirdHouse serves three flavors of chicken in all different styles—from crispy tenders and spicy wings to gourmet sandwiches and grilled-chicken salads, as well as house sides, house-made sauces, milk-glazed donut holes and a collection of rotating beers from local and other great breweries around the country.
For just $4, hungry diners can enjoy eight ounces of the hip indoor/outdoor restaurant’s delicious sides, including their seasoned fries, mashed potatoes and gravy, house-made pickles, and outstanding mac-n-cheese. BirdHouse is open for dine-in, take-out, and delivery from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
