“We are thrilled that Arizona Restaurant Week continues to be a much anticipated and well-attended event.

ARW: Friday, May 17 through Sunday, May 26
For 10 delicious days, people across the state are encouraged to get out and dine to their heart’s content and explore restaurants that they may not have tried previously. The ARW menus are slightly different from a participating restaurant’s regular menu. The special menus are prix fixe and offer the best selections and signature flavors and recipes at price points of $33, $44 or $55 per person (or in some cases, per couple), reflecting a great value. Wine and cocktail pairings may also be available at select restaurant locations.
Participating restaurants range from chef-driven hot spots and independently-owned restaurants to five-star fine dining establishments. The ARW represents a perfect opportunity to try many new restaurants. There are even locations in Sedona and Tucson, making ARW an opportune time to take a culinary road trip.
Tito’s takeover
Tito’s Handmade Vodka is a sponsor of ARW, and many participating restaurants will be offering a special Tito’s cocktail. Each restaurant was given creative license to orchestrate a unique Tito’s cocktail, and ARW invites taste testers to experience what each restaurant has done to translate Tito’s into a dynamic taste sensation.
Be sure to check the ARW website as new participating restaurants are being added every day. Here are just a few of some of this year’s participating restaurants:
