• Phoenix Phoodies: Voltaire Restaurant

  Sloane Burwell From a quiet corner near McDonald Drive and Pima Road in Scottsdale, Voltaire Restaurant (8340 East McDonald Drive, 480- 948-1005) has been delighting fans of classical French Cuisine six nights a week for many years. From Coquille St Jacques to tableside flambes of Cherries Jubilee, the charm of owner Martin Antonelli and his staff, which includes his chef-son, invokes the warm, expansive culinary spirit of Julia Child. Truly, she'd have loved this place as much as we do. And

• Summer Break's Almost Over for Voltaire and Other Spots

  ​Restaurant owners Martin and David Antonelli are getting ready to reopen Voltaire next week, on September 10, after their annual summer break. The traditional French restaurant, located in Scottsdale, is one of a handful of local eateries that close down for extended vacations during the hottest -- and slowest -- time of year. Seems like the entire Farm at South Mountain closes, too, although Quiessence is already back in action. On September 8, the other two on-site restaurants, Far
