Yelp Eats! Restaurant Week in Arizona
Indulge In A Three-Course Meal At Local Restaurants For Only $25.
Jul 14, 2009
Yelp Eats! Restaurant Week is coming to Arizona from July 20 to July 26, complete with impressive (and curious) menu selections from fifteen favored Phoenix and Scottsdale restaurants. Don't worry about not having enough choices or spending too much: the menus are prix fixe, which means that each three courses you choose from the menu will be $25 no matter what. Well, except for the tip, and of course if you choose to match up some wine to your meal.

Menus for Phoenix Restaurant Week
The menus at the various restaurants provide three courses to each restaurant guest. On average there are two to three appetizer options, two to three entree options, and two to three dessert options. And the chefs are holding nothing back, probably pitying those who have felt the weight of the sagging economy (and haven't we all?!)
Atlas Bistro is calling you to their restaurant with Applewood smoked salmon, braised beef short ribs and "enough chocolate to make your teeth hurt". The chefs from Metro are even busting out some Burgundy snails and sweetbreads, then topping it off with blueberry lavender galette.
