Uchi Restaurant by Chef Tyson Cole

The sixth outpost from Chef Tyson Cole and Hai Hospitality. What the people of Houston, Dallas, Denver, Miami and Austin have tasted and loved can now be appreciated by you in Old Town Scottsdale.

Tyson Cole is the recipient of many awards, including the James Beard Awards. The restaurant's symbolic name was born from its first location in Austin and has kept the atmosphere ever since, only adding some tones and improving the service. One of the most anticipated new restaurants in Phoenix on the Japanese food scene.

Menu

Maintaining its level and reputation, Uchi is preparing to offer both hot and cool tastings to its Scottsdale diners. Traditional items on the menu will offer sushi and sashimi, enhanced yasaimono (vegetables), tempura and one of the signature desserts, Japanese cheesecake (creamy sorbet with date marmalade and pumpkin seed muesli).

A must-taste dish

If you are not a vegetarian, you should opt for the hot wagyu beef, and for fish lovers, the hirame usuzukuri is a dish of flounder candied in quinoa and olive oil.

Tasting menu

If you want full satisfaction, the 10-course offering may satisfy you. Although you can limit yourself to a 6-course omakase for the first time. A vegetarian tasting menu will also be available.

Drinks

Signature cocktails travel with all outposts, maintaining character and keeping the atmosphere flowing. You will find a wide selection of sake both hot and cold. Wine and beer will complete your list of preferences.

Opening: early 2024.

Address: 3821 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale.

TEA Restaurant by Chef Sam Fox

Sam Fox's reimagining will be an addition to Phoenix's Mediterranean gastronomic scene at the Global Ambassador Hotel. A tandem with Food Network star Eric Kim Haugen will allow 44th Street on Camelback Road to become a centre for delicious events and sophisticated gatherings. A must-open restaurant in Phoenix to indulge in gourmet delights.

Menu

Mediterranean dishes are filled with delicacies and combinations that only a gifted chef can smell. Choose Moroccan roasted carrots or charred octopus to satisfy your curiosity.

A must-try dish

Fox brought his love and fondness from Italy to share a delicious treasure. Order the Spaghetti alla Nerano with zucchini pasta to soak up a bit of love and passion.

Santo Restaurant by Robert Centeno and Armando Hernandez

Santo will take over The Vintage space in Arcadia. Robert Centeno was a James Beard semifinalist while still heading up the kitchen at Bacanora Restaurant, and Armando Hernandez is co-owner of two other gastronomic scenes: Cocina Chiwas and Tacos Chiwas. The joint project involves a programme of fine dining and a light atmosphere for comfort and appetite. Now this is a Phoenix restaurant that is definitely a must-try.

Menu

The gastronomic list will keep a balance between Cocina Chiwas and Espiritu, offering diners steaks of different cuts, saviche and a variety of salads.

A must-taste dish

Perhaps there will be no specific position here. We will only point out one thing: the restaurant uses both wood-fired and charcoal grill. We advise you to taste the difference of aromas and tastes obtained by such fiery methods.

Drinks

Thanks to the alcohol list, you will be able to get to know Mexican whiskey better, as well as its counterpart bourbon. Mexican accents will be on the wine list as well, diluted with sake and wine brands from other countries.

Opening: January 2024.

Address: 4418 E. Osborn Road, Phoenix.

The opening of this Phoenix restaurant will help families diversify their entertainment and infuse it with flavour.

Menu

Giada de Laurentiis is keeping the menu filling secret for now, working up an appetite for his upcoming guests.

A must-taste dish

The only overt recommendation from the creator was her calling card: lemon spaghetti.

Opening: February 2024.

Address: 4747 N. Goldwater Blvd., Scottsdale.

Great affordable outpost from Ivan Jacobo in Phoenix. Source: @flourandthymerestaurant

Flour & Thyme from Ivan Jacobo

A great opportunity to try masterpieces from Ivan Jacobo at a more affordable price tag. His Anhelo in the heart of the city has already been awarded several honours and is quite popular. The interiors of Flour & Thyme have a more casual style that feels more like a bistro. There is a two-sided fireplace on the patio and live plants pleasing to the eye and adding oxygen to the room. A super new addition to Phoenix's restaurant list.

Menu

For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the restaurant offers a variety of carefully selected dishes to satisfy a large number of finicky diners. Jacobo characterized the menu as "upscale tapas."

Drinks

A pleasant surprise for diners will be the 170 vessels of wine presented in a boutique style. The price per glass won't exceed $20.

Opening: now.

Address: 944 S. Mill Ave., Tempe.

Restaurant Élephante by Jacob Layman

A space you'll be exploring for more than a day to unravel its secret. In 12,000 square feet at the south end of Scottsdale Fashion Square, you'll find delineated areas for relaxation, a bar date, and a restaurant space for a great tasty experience. It can quickly become popular among other new restaurants in Phoenix.

Menu

Mediterranean Italian cuisine covers every page of the menu. Emphasis is on wood-fired pizza, but the variety allows for all preferences. Seafood and steaks are balanced.

A must-try dish

Of course, the Italian focus insist on tasting a variety of pizzas and several types of pastas.

Drinks

The cocktail bar's alcoholic menu will satisfy lovers of clean and strong drinks, but as in Santa Monica, this outpost specializes in eccentric cocktails.

Bar Carry On by Wren & Wolf and Trophy Room

Central Phoenix has commandeered another worthy location for cocktail evenings. The vintage interior with dimmed lights has some very special magic when all that's missing for the full entourage is a saxophonist. The original new bar in Phoenix.

Drinks and appetizers

Your journey will only last 90 minutes, where the beginning will be a series of cocktails inspired by your start and, then, finish. The appetizer menu is planned to be updated annually, and short hors d'oeuvres will delight you at the bar. A great experience consisting of an exciting new format and approach.

Opening: winter 2024.

Address: 2 N. Central Ave. 2, office 101, Phoenix.

Ambrogio 15 Restaurant by Silvio Salmoiraghi

A piece of ancient history living in Milan along with the creators of the best pizza of 2020 in San Diego are now creating in Phoenix. Michelin-starred Silvio Salmoiraghi is a strong argument to make this place a favourite. The atmosphere promises to be fun and casual. One of the best new additions among Phoenix restaurants.

Menu

The traditional Italian menu never looks traditional in the hands of that creator and you will enjoy many reinterpretations and savory inserts from the creator himself. Steaks and seafood will be served in the offerings with a crystal glass.

A must-try dish

Now, Phoenix may have contests for best Italian pizza and pasta, but the Milanese pizza at Ambrogio's has a good chance of coming out ahead. Make sure to check it out.

Drinks

The emphasis of the alcoholic menu is on natural wines, but you can find your preferences among the variety offered or make new ones.

Opening: first half of 2024.

Address: 2502 E. Camelback Road, Phoenix.
