Finding good-quality restaurants can be a challenge at times. Whether you are in Downtown Phoenix for a Suns basketball game, a Diamondbacks baseball game, or just to sightsee, there are many restaurants to choose from. This blog post will give you the 5 best spots to eat in Downtown.
- Harumi Sushi
Harumi, a favorite downtown Phoenix restaurant and the greatest local sushi establishment, is a perfect date night destination. They fly in the fish every day, so you know it’s top-notch. Order anything with bluefin tuna, whether in the shape of sashimi, nigiri, or a roll, for fatty, fresh fish perfection. Most adore the smart balance of sweet and spicy on the crunch mango roll for a more unusual roll.
2. The Larder and the Delta
The Larder and the Delta is a newcomer that is fast establishing itself as one of downtown Phoenix’s more prominent eateries. It is a Southern-inspired restaurant that takes bold creative liberties with unorthodox interpretations of classic dishes. The menu rotates periodically, but cauliflower is always available and a good place to start. It has all the tastes of a buffalo wing without the real wing, with a light coating of locally created Cutino hot sauce and topped with melted smoked bleu cheese and pickled celery. When it comes to entrees, order to your taste depending on what’s in season and trust that they know what they’re doing in the kitchen!
3. The Arrogant Butcher
It is suggested to follow the name’s lead and go for the meats. Begin with the hot tomato sauce and ricotta cheese meatballs served on toasted garlic ciabatta bread, and soak up every last bit of sauce with your bread. If you’re looking for anything other than meat, the soft pretzels with cheese fondue are a good choice. And, believe us when we say, order the meatloaf as your main course. While meatloaf isn’t the most interesting food on the menu, it’s the most popular entrée here for a reason! This meatloaf is delicate, savory, and anything from dull thanks to its gooey brown sugar-tomato glaze.
4. Cibo
Cibo distinguishes itself from other downtown Phoenix restaurants by providing a dining experience that is unlike anything else in the city or the desert. It feels far removed from the city, tucked into a peaceful part of the city, with a tree-filled, shady terrace. Cibo specializes on wood-fired pizzas and serves other Italian staples including charcuterie, bruschetta boards, and pasta. The wood-fired pizzas here are all fantastic, with a fluffy crust, terrific sauce, and high-quality toppings, so order what you like, but the Salsiccia with marinara sauce, mozzarella, and housemade Italian sausage is an easy favorite.
5. Cornish Pasty
This place is widely loved by all people who reside in Arizona! There are multiple locations, but the Downtown location has an upstairs, a downstairs, and a basement. The downstairs part of this restaurant is more of a family style, the upstairs and basement are very bar feel. There are pool-tables and darts to play while you wait! The pasty that is always recommended is the French Dip! The Tandori Wings are also a hit! Check it our for a fun experience!
