Food That Fuses Flavor with Community

From award-winning fine dining to critically-acclaimed food, our local culinarians are being recognized on the national stage. Phoenix is now home to 15 James Beard finalists, bringing global techniques to Southwest ingredients. Destination restaurants like Bocanora, Lom Wongs, and Chilte blur the lines between high-end and homestyle.

Yet the food scene remains accessible, focusing on fresh and local. Phoenix takes pride in neighborhood joints, mom-and-pops, and its many regional Mexican options. The coffee culture thrives alongside inventive sushi bars and pizzerias. With transplants from across the globe now calling Phoenix home, the restaurant landscape captures the city's welcoming spirit through food and drink. Visitors and residents alike find open doors, tantalizing dishes, and second helpings of everything that makes our local cuisine special. Phoenix's food community stands ready to deliver the full flavor of this city on the rise.
