Highlights

DEPWAH, a French-Vietnamese fine dining restaurant and lounge, is scheduled to open this winter in Old Town Scottsdale, according to scottsdale.com and KTAR, which both reported on the concept.

Founder Heather Walker created the restaurant as a fusion of Vietnamese roots and French elegance, per the scottsdale.com report. The concept will occupy 7050 E 3rd Ave., Ste. 1, Scottsdale, AZ 85251.

The beverage program will be overseen by Sheldon Wiley, described as a three-time Guinness World Record-holding mixologist. The restaurant will also feature a specialty espresso bar offering Vietnamese coffee, premium teas, and artisanal matcha.

Walker has not yet announced an executive chef; the scottsdale.com report notes that a star chef will be named soon.

Reservations and hours have not been announced.
