As the crisp autumn air begins to settle over Arizona, food enthusiasts across the state are gearing up for a culinary celebration like no other. The highly anticipated Fall Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW) is set to return from September 20 through September 29, 2024, offering a 10-day dining extravaganza that showcases the vibrant and diverse culinary scene of Arizona.
Hosted by the Arizona Restaurant Association (ARA), this bi-annual event has become a staple in the state’s food culture, attracting thousands of diners eager to indulge in unique dining experiences at a fraction of the regular cost. The ARA, as the leading advocate for Arizona’s hospitality industry, is thrilled to bring back this beloved event, which continues to grow in popularity with each passing season.
For the 2024 Fall Arizona Restaurant Week, nearly 200 establishments are expected to participate, each offering specially crafted three-course menus that highlight both their signature dishes and innovative new creations. These prix-fixe menus are available at price points of $33, $44, or $55 per person, and in some cases, even per couple. This pricing structure allows diners to explore the culinary delights of Arizona without breaking the bank.
One of the highlights of this year’s event is the inclusion of exclusive wine and cocktail pairings at select restaurants. More than 50 establishments will feature Tito’s handcrafted cocktails as part of their ARW menu options, providing an added layer of indulgence to the dining experience.
Arizona Restaurant Week offers something for everyone, from intimate chef-driven eateries and hidden gems to luxurious five-star dining establishments. The event showcases a wide array of cuisines, cultures, and cooking styles, ensuring that diners of all tastes and preferences can find something to enjoy. Whether you’re in the mood for classic American fare, exotic international dishes, or innovative fusion cuisine, ARW has it all.
For those eager to participate, a comprehensive list of participating restaurants and their featured menus will be available on the official Arizona Restaurant Week website, arizonarestaurantweek.com, starting Sunday, September 1. As the event draws nearer, additional restaurants and menu options will be continually added, so be sure to check back regularly for the latest updates.
As fall approaches, mark your calendars for September 20-29, and get ready to embark on a 10-day journey of exceptional dining experiences. Whether you’re a foodie looking to discover new flavors or simply want to revisit your favorite restaurant, Arizona Restaurant Week is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the season with delicious dining deals.
