Restaurant Information
The highlight of Greater Phoenix cuisine is its Southwestern fare. After first drawing upon the traditions of American Indians, Southwestern cuisine was spiced up by Spanish colonists, Mexican settlers and U.S. pioneers. This international convergence eventually led to the modern Southwestern cooking Phoenicians and visitors have come to know and love.
Aside from the region's expected mastery of Southwestern cuisine, diners in Greater Phoenix enjoy a wealth of traditional steakhouses and American fare, as well international cuisine from Asia, Europe, Japan and Mexico. Click here for more information on Phoenix restaurants.
