Arizona Restaurant Association Announces 2023 Spring Arizona Restaurant Week

The Arizona Restaurant Association, the organization which advocates for and supports the hospitality industry throughout the state, is pleased to announce the return of Spring Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW).

Arizona Restaurant Week serves as a 10-day period of culinary discovery during which diners can explore the cuisine of a multitude of restaurants at a fraction of the cost. The 2023 culinary extravaganza runs Friday, May 19 through Sunday, May 28 at participating restaurants around Arizona.

“For more than 15 years we have been bringing Arizona Restaurant Week to culinary enthusiasts around the state. With each event, it becomes more and more evident that the dining community is truly supportive of our industry,” says Arizona Restaurant Association President and CEO Steve Chucri. “Arizona Restaurant Week serves as an opportunity for diners to explore new restaurants and discover the expansive culinary range of chefs at their favorite haunts. We encourage diners to explore something new and maybe discover a new favorite.”

During Arizona Restaurant Week, participating restaurants offers specific ARW menus that serve as a departure from their usual menus. Through this unique opportunity, guests can enjoy a three-course prix-fixe menu for just $33, $44 or $55 per person.

These menus often highlight limited-availability or hyper-seasonal ingredients that guests might not see on the participating restaurants’ regular menus. This not only allows diners to experiment with new flavors, it allows chefs and restaurateurs to really showcase their innovative talents.

Typically, more than 130 restaurants around the state participate in Arizona Restaurant Week, giving diners a multitude of choices when it comes to cuisine, price point and range of experience — from “mom and pop” hidden gems to exclusive five-star establishments.

With the event itself still months away, there is plenty of time for new and returning restaurants to participate in this year’s Spring ARW. Applications can be completed online at arizonarestaurantweek.com/restaurant-sign-up.

On Monday, May 1, a complete list of participating restaurants and their ARW menus will be posted online at arizonarestaurantweek.com. This list will be continually updated as new participants join. Diners are encouraged to check back often to get the most up-to-date information.
