Hey Arizona fans, it’s time once again for the spring version of Arizona Restaurant Week.

The Arizona Restaurant Association is pleased to announce the return of the biannual, Arizona Restaurant Week for a ten-day culinary celebration beginning Saturday, May 18 through Monday, May 27.

The palate-pleasing event highlights Arizona’s vibrant cuisine, and provides families, friends, visitors and residents the opportunity to indulge the foodie within. Spring Restaurant Week brings together more than 125 restaurants, each offering a specialty prix-fixe dinner menu for $30 and $40 per person at participating restaurants.

““Having just wrapped up a record-breaking fall event, we are looking forward to again celebrating Arizona’s top restaurants and the industry as a whole”, said Steve Chucri, president and CEO of the Arizona Restaurant Association. “Twice per year, we highlight Arizona’s emerging restaurant scene and the industry that employs more than 260,000 Arizonans.”

Spring Arizona Restaurant Week encourages the grazing of Arizona, making the discovery of hidden taco shops and award-wining white tablecloth dining alike, accessible to everyone. Keeping this goal close to heart, Arizona Restaurant Week has partnered with the Valley of the Sun United Way, Unite to End Hunger campaign in an effort to assist the 82,000 households in Maricopa County struggling to put food on the table.
