The Top 100 Restaurants in Phoenix

  1. Rank 1. Lom Wong

    Regional Thai

    In a black bungalow downtown, Lom Wong serves northern Thai food rooted in owner Yotaka Martin's childhood in Chiang Rai—hand-pounded curry pastes, charcoal-grilled sausage, and dishes meant for sharing. Boozy cocktails spiked with fish sauce and rose water pair beautifully with the bold, layered flavors.

  2. Rank 1. Valentine

    Southwestern

    A cozy Melrose spot in a midcentury furniture store where chef Nico Zades builds the entire menu around Arizona ingredients—Sonoran wheat pretzels with guinea hen butter, elote pasta with local cheese, grass-fed beef at brunch. The adjacent Bar 1912 speakeasy leans into the same hyperlocal obsession with cocktails built on foraged pine liqueur and Arizona-sourced spirits, all served in a sophisticated but entirely unsnobby room.

The weekend brunch is the move—huevos rancheros and a yeasty monkey bread loaded with cream, caramel and chocolate that could be a meal on its own.

Modern presentations of street food classics sit alongside regional dishes like Kerala-style branzino wrapped in banana leaf, while the pastry and bar teams riff on nostalgic Indian flavors with equal ambition.

  291. The patio at Lon's—shaded by olive trees and towering cactuses, dotted with cream umbrellas and the sound of a fountain—is where Phoenix does brunch on weekend mornings, the kind of place where sticky monkey bread and blood orange mimosas feel like the only reasonable choice. The kitchen splits the difference between Southwest classics like chilaquiles and coastal leaning plates like salmon Benedicts, all bright enough to match the serene desert setting.

The menu surprises with fried-plantain sandwiches and corn pancakes with an almost mysterious sweetness, plus fresh cheese sticks and tropical drinks.

The meats smoked in salvaged propane tanks behind Eric's are the product of old-fashioned labor—no gas assist, just mesquite and patience—which means the brisket arrives in thick, pungent slices that nearly melt on your tongue. A spacious cafeteria-style room and homestyle patio serve up those slices alongside tender smoked turkey, dry-rubbed ribs with pleasant heat, and sides like cheese-dusted elote that echo backyard barbecue fiestas.

  415. Rank 412. Call Her Martina

    Modern Mexican

    A sleek Scottsdale spot with a moody black-and-white dining room and neon-lit high-tops that feels more nightclub than strip mall, Call Her Martina pairs inventive cocktails topped with flower petals and charred cinnamon with modern Mexican cooking that ranges from steak-studded guacamole with pomegranate to charred octopus. The flan alone—caramel shards and fresh mint on silky custard—justifies the splurge.

  456. Rank 454. Presidio Cocina Mexicana

    Michoacán-style Mexican

    A corner-storefront spot where Michoacán family recipes come out of the kitchen with real care, drawing weekend crowds who know what they're after. The chile relleno is spectacular—a fried poblano stuffed with queso fresco and blanketed in ranchera salsa—and if mole Negro is running, that dark, complex sauce over chicken is worth a detour.
