The best restaurants Phœnix

Typically American cuisine with its large hamburgers and specialities with Mexican influences. The restaurant is very open on the outside, it is organised around a large patio in the very summer decoration. The atmosphere beats its full in the evening, and the bar quickly becomes animated thanks to a young population, who obviously comes here to decompress. Meetings are inevitable and excellent music.

Typical Mexican dishes at more than reasonable prices, judging by the astronomical amount of the contents of the plate!

This simple yet sophisticated establishment seems to belong to the Old World. Rough Rider's concept is to house a ^21st-century restaurant as well as a late ^19th-century cocktail bar. On the menu: several punch recipes, more classic drinks with homemade compote or "curiosities". The food on offer is very good, from roast chicken with rosemary butter served with celeriac purée to pappardelle with pork ragout, sautéed ricotta and fried sage. An excellent address!

Nestled in the Arcadia district between Phoenix and Scottsdale, this address is worth a visit for its 100% American gastronomy specialty: the burger. The plates and portions may be unrefined, but the freshly ground meat makes all the difference. The principle is simple: a single recipe, The Standard, is available in four different forms, each enhanced by other ingredients. Don't miss the salted dulce de leche milkshake. Excellent value for money.

Le Belly is a journey to Asia in itself. It draws its inspiration from Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese cultures, both in its sharing plates and dishes and in its tasty cocktails. Enjoy delicious Pho, pork with mustard and fried rice, or fish and chips with tofu. For dessert: sticky rice, the traditional glutinous rice served with seasonal fruit. Also try Naga thai tai, a cocktail combining Thai tea rum, lemon, bubble tea-style fruit pearls and cynar, an Italian bitter.

Synonymous with a successful breakfast or brunch, Ollie Vaughn's is one of our favorite Phoenix addresses. From pancakes and bagelsto quiches and sandwiches, the preparations are fresh and tasty. It's hard to choose between the cakes on display, but we recommend the cheesecake and the Nutella mousse tart. You can enjoy all this to the accompaniment of discreet music either indoors or in the lovely shady garden, with its plants and superb mural.

Little Miss BBQ is one of Phoenix's must-try restaurants for grilled meat or meat in sauce, Texas-style. Located in an industrial district, the restaurant has built a solid reputation that has been maintained over the years. On the menu: sausage, turkey, ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket from every angle. Smaller budgets will prefer sandwiches. Note that another address has opened in the Sunnyslope district, to the north of the city.

Founded in 2013, this small chain also located in the Arcadia neighborhood and Scottsdale is a good alternative to the Mexican and Italian cuisine in vogue nearby. Above all, it's an opportunity to access healthy, vegetarian and tasty options, like the Heirloom Brown Rice Bowl. It's made with sorrel pesto, kale, sweet potatoes, feta, pickled mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, a soft-boiled egg, brown rice and dill. Delicious! Also note that Ingo serves breakfast around the clock.
