Autumn in the Valley of the Sun means two things — it’s still hot and Fall Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW) is back! The Arizona Restaurant Association (ARA) is pleased to announce its bi-annual 10-day culinary event, offered at participating dining establishments around the state, takes place Friday, Sept. 16  through Sunday, Sept. 25.

About Arizona Restaurant Week: The most edible time of the year, Arizona Restaurant Week sends diners on a 10-day tasting tour of the state. Participating restaurants are not only known for their exceptional cuisine, but they also spare no expense to give diners an extraordinary culinary experience. One of Arizona Restaurant Week’s goals is to position Arizona as one of the top culinary destinations in the nation by increasing awareness of the more than 8,500 dining opportunities available as well as stimulating business and revenue for restaurants throughout the state. Arizona Restaurant Week is produced by the Arizona Restaurant Association.

A complete list of Fall Arizona Restaurant Week participants and their menus will be posted via arizonarestaurantweek.com. As new restaurants are added, the website will be updated to reflect the most comprehensive list of choices.
