The food-filled fun will begin on Sept. 19 and run through Sept. 28.
“We invite our culinary community to come out and enjoy Fall Arizona Restaurant Week, one of the best times of the year to enjoy an incredible meal at an incredible value,” ARA President and CEO Steve Chucri said in a news release announcing the fall dates.
During the event, restaurants from all around the Valley offer special multi-course menus at set price points to encourage diners to come in and try something new.
The meals typically include three courses, and are priced at $33, $44 or $55 per person, depending on the restaurant. Some spots encourage date night dining, with meals priced for two, and many restaurants also suggest wine or cocktail pairings to complete the experience.
The menus typically include some staples from the restaurant's normal offerings, plus new creations the chefs debut for the event.
Hundreds of restaurants participate each year. Currently, nearly 150 restaurants are signed up to participate in the fall event, and the Restaurant Association expects to reach around 300 in total.
“We could not be as successful as we are in championing our hospitality industry without the loyalty and dedication of our enthusiastic diners," Chucri said. "We thank you all for continuing to give local restaurants some much-needed love and support.”
The list will continue to grow until Sept. 1, when a full lineup, along with restaurant menus, will be published online.
This fall, the list includes some new names, ranging from restaurants that have recently opened their doors to more established spots that are participating in the event for the first time. Newcomers to Arizona Restaurant Week this fall include:
- Forks & Boards
- Francine Restaurant
- Indibar
- Rodizio Grill North Scottsdale
- SOL Mexican Cocina
