Scottsdale is home to a Cordon Bleu culinary arts school and several major, high-end resorts with award-winning chefs on staff. So, it should go without saying that the Scottsdale restaurant scene is one of the most exciting and innovative in all Arizona. In fact, it can be difficult to keep track of the number of trendy restaurants opening at any given moment. From traditional haute cuisine to modern fusion, Scottsdale restaurants are constantly offering up new culinary delights.
Our number one pick is Olive & Ivy for its perfect fusion of culinary creation and unforgettable ambiance. The casually elegant restaurant is somewhat hidden on the south side of the Scottsdale waterfront complex, with rivers of light streaming in through the wall of windows that look out onto the patio. Inventive appetizers such as Medjoul dates wrapped in bacon give you a hint of what's to come on the Mediterranean-inspired menu.
Get a taste of what the student chefs are learning at Le Cordon Bleu with a visit to the prestigious school's student-run restaurant, L'Ecole, our number five pick. Guests have the option of choosing from a menu of French-inspired entrees, or choosing the four-course prix-fixe lunch or dinner menu.
For a healthy dinner or lunch, Arcadia Farms Cafe has set the standard around the Valley for using local organically grown, pesticide-free, and hormone-free ingredients. The Cafe's inviting garden setting is the perfect way to enjoy one of their fresh salads, gourmet sandwiches, tarts, and crepes for breakfast or lunch.
