Highlights

Spring Arizona Restaurant Week runs May 15 through May 24, 2026, with nearly 250 metro restaurants offering prix-fixe menus, the largest participation count the event has seen, according to Phoenix Magazine.

Close to 30 of those participants are first-time entrants. Restaurants currently signed on include Alterra at Mountain House Lodge, Avanti Restaurant, Barrio Queen, Buck & Rider, and Chilla Prime Steakhouse, per Fabulous Arizona, which first reported the lineup.

For context on pricing: the 2025 spring edition set prix-fixe menus at $33, $44, or $55 per person, with each restaurant choosing its own tier. Beverages, service fees, and tax were excluded. The 2026 pricing structure has not yet been confirmed in available source material.

For Scottsdale readers, Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley has participated in prior editions through its dining program, which includes Hearth '61, where Chef de Cuisine Yulissa Acosta leads the kitchen using local and organic ingredients. LON's at the Hermosa Inn appeared on the 2025 participant list as well.

The full 2026 restaurant list and menus are expected at arizonarestaurantweek.com ahead of the May 15 start.
