PHOENIX — Fall Arizona Restaurant Week returns this September! This multi-day event runs from September 20-29 and gives you an excuse to try out new restaurants, dishes, and exclusive menu offerings for a fraction of the usual costs.
Restaurants participating in this dining event will offer three-course prix fixe menus for $33, $44, or $55 per person. Depending on the restaurants, some will offer these fixed rates per couple.
According to event organizers, more than 50 restaurants will feature exclusive Tito’s cocktails as part of their Arizona Restaurant Week menu options.
The annual dining event returns this fall with more participating businesses than last year!
“We are proud to present such an in-demand experience for Arizona diners and even prouder to support the hospitality industry, which has such a major impact on the state’s economy. With so many restaurants participating this year, there is truly something for everyone and we hope the community responds by trying as many restaurants as they can during the 10-day event,” said Steve Chucri, President & CEO of the Arizona Restaurant Association, in a news release sent to ABC15.
“Our summers are getting tough, economically speaking, not just with the heat, but with the people leaving the state. We feel that in the restaurant industry," Chucri said.
With restaurants offering multiple-course meals ranging from $33-55, Chucri adds this is the best time of year to try that restaurant you’ve always been meaning to get to.
“People can break out of their comfort zone, and try something new, for a reasonable cost," Chucri said.
One of the participating restaurants is Fleming's Steakhouse on Scottsdale Road.
Their head chef says one of their featured restaurant week items is the petite filet mignon.
It's on their regular menu for $56, but during Restaurant Week, guests can have the steak, plus a salad and dessert for $55.
“People are looking for value these days," Conrad Medina with Fleming's said. "Our price point per average is $100 a guest. So it’s almost half off.”
