The Arizona Restaurant Association Announces 2026 Spring Arizona Restaurant

Cost: $33-$55

Arizona Restaurant Association, the organization that advocates for and supports the state’s robust hospitality industry, announced that its 2026 Spring Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW) will take place Friday, May 15 through Sunday, May 24. This wildly popular bi-annual event showcases the best dining opportunities around the state with three prix fixe price options, all of which present an incredible deal. 

 

This year’s ARW is poised to offer culinary enthusiasts an enticing array of options, with nearly 240 establishments statewide expected to sign up to participate.

 

“Arizona Restaurant Week continues to grow and receive incredible feedback because it truly is one of the best dining deals in the state,” said Arizona Restaurant Association (ARA) President and CEO Steve Chucri. “This 10-day experience allows diners to try new restaurants, explore different cuisines and enjoy exclusive menu items at their favorite places, all for a fraction of the usual price.”

 

Arizona Restaurant Week is an opportunity for diners to explore the state’s unique hospitality landscape, from five-star fine-dining establishments to under-the-radar independently owned restaurants that turn out incredible cuisine. During Spring ARW, participating restaurants offer exclusive three-course ARW menus featuring variations of their most popular dishes in addition to new dishes to try. These menus also highlight seasonal, hyper-local and hard-to-come-by ingredients as well as unique specialty dishes that aren’t often featured on year-round menus.

 

Spring ARW menus are priced at $33, $44 or $55 per person, plus tax and gratuity. In some cases, this price is per couple, as decided by each restaurant. Some establishments offer exclusive wine pairings or specialty ARW cocktails for an added cost. Take-out versions of ARW menus may also be available.  

 

Arizona Restaurant Week’s participants represent many cuisines and dining styles. Guests can enjoy traditional American classics or indulge in eclectic ethnic options. Restaurants range from fast-casual to formal dining. Diners may choose intimate chef-driven settings or five-star establishments. All three price points offer a wide range of cooking styles and exciting choices.
