For 10 days every fall, Arizona Restaurant Week hands you the perfect excuse to dine out in style! Whether you are trying a new restaurant or heading to a favorite of yours, the 3 and 4 course offerings make for a great Date Night.

Here’s how it works. Each participating restaurant creates its own special menu of offerings and sets a price that is either per couple or per person. There are a few options for each course so you can select what looks delectible to you. If you open any of the links below and scroll down, you can see exactly what their Restaurant Week menu is. It’s all mouth watering and delicious so it's a good thing there are 10 days during which to participate. Maybe you can work 2 restaurants into your schedule! There are tons of restaurants all over Phoenix taking part in Arizona Restaurant Week but here’s a listing of some of the local participants in Peoria, Waddell, and Surprise.
