The Arizona Restaurant Association‘s (ARA) biannual 10-day culinary exploration will return this month with the 2025 Fall Arizona Restaurant Week (ARW), which begins Friday, Sept. 19, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 28.
During Fall ARW, diners can experience tantalizing prix fixe menus at some of the state’s hottest restaurants as well as those hidden gems that are ready and waiting to be discovered. Typically, the three-course menus include a starter, main entrée and dessert for $33, $44 or $55 per person, depending on the restaurant. Some establishments also include a beverage in this cost, while others offer wine or cocktail pairings to enhance diners’ experience for an added charge. Many restaurants also offer their Fall ARW menus to go.
The menus presented during Fall ARW feature a mix of restaurants’ most popular dishes as well as some new dishes that are not usually on the menu, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy their favorite meals for a deal or try something new. This unique menu presentation also allows chefs to stretch their culinary muscles, get creative and give diners something a little outside the box or a dish that features limited availability and hyper-local ingredients.
During Arizona Restaurant Week, the Arizona Restaurant Association works hard to represent a wide range of culinary flavors, cooking styles and restaurant types. Establishments of varying price points participate in Arizona Restaurant Week, presenting diners with the opportunity to explore a vast range of choices when it comes to cuisine, atmosphere and location.
While there are nearly 150 establishments already committed to participating in this year’s Fall ARW, ARA expects that list to grow to close to 300 by the beginning of the event. By Monday, Sept. 1, a complete list of participating restaurants as well as their 2025 Fall ARW menus, will be posted online at https://arizonarestaurantweek.com. New menus will continually be added as restaurants confirm their participation.
