Recommended Restaurants of Phoenix

Four of recommended Restaurants of Phoenix, AZ

Mosaic
10600 East Jomax Road,
Scottsdale, AZ 85255

Mosaic's attention to a quality dining experience is as detail-oriented as the specially commissioned tile mosaic that graces its floor. Every aspect of the restaurant is committed to excellence. Eclectic, constantly changing menus feature the culinary creations of Chef and Owner Deborah Knight, incorporating high quality ingredients and bold, creative flavor combinations. An outstanding wine selection and phenomenal service only serve to accentuate Chef Knight's talent in the kitchen. The result is a meal to remember, regardless of the season or the ingredients on the menu.

Quiessence
6106 S. 32nd Street Phoenix,
Phoenix, AZ 85042

Located on the Farm at South Mountain, Quiessence Restaurant is tethered to the land. Vegetables are grown locally, products as diverse as lamb and honey are purchased from local producers, and what is not available locally is sourced from sustainable producers. The constantly changing menu does nothing less than celebrate its ingredients, with dishes such as Pan-Seared Baja Wild Yellowtail with sunchokes, rapini, and tomato sauce, and Brick Oven Roasted Arizona Duroc Pork Shoulder with farm fennel, sweet potatoes, gravy, and grilled bread. Executive Chef Gregory LaPrad and Manager Dustin Christofolo are both Slow Food members, and know the source of every ingredient on their menu. To get as close to the land as possible—short of growing food yourself—head to Quiessence, and don’t be afraid to stay awhile.

Different Pointe of View
11111 North 7th Street,
Phoenix, AZ 85020

Nestled amid the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort, Different Point of View offers a stunning setting and even more stunning views. The cuisine is creative and inventive, thanks to Executive Chef Ivan Flowers’s mixture of American and International flavors. The dinner menu changes seasonally, while a nightly tasting menu changes several times a night. The menu is partially sourced from the restaurant’s own vegetable garden located on the hotel property. If the food and views weren’t enough, an award-winning wine list offers over 1000 wines, all cellared on premise. This is a place to treat yourself, and to celebrate the grandest of occasions.

The Landmark Restaurant
809 W. Main Street,
Phoenix, AZ 85201

Seeped in history, the Landmark restaurant is truly a Phoenix landmark. Located in a building that served as a church, a college, and offices for an insurance company, the Landmark Restaurant is a little slice of Phoenix’s past. But don’t come here just for a history lesson. The menu is filled with succulent steaks, delicate seafood, and classic comfort food such as Beef Stroganoff, Stuffed Meatloaf, and Grilled Ham. A dining experience at the Landmark is not complete without the “salad room”—an entire room converted to a salad bar, featuring both traditional and eclectic, hearty and healthy, and hot and cold “salad” fare. Entrance to the room is included with any entrée and is also available separately—one trip could easily be as a meal in itself.
