Anthony's in the Catalinas


Every meal is a special occasion
6440 North Campbell Road
(Sunrise at Campbell)
Tucson, AZ 85718
United States
+1 520 299 1771
This is the place that Tucsonians flock to for special occasions; with the spectacular views and award-winning cuisine and wines any visit is a memorable experience. Called an "architectural jewel" by many, this fine dining room is sophisticated without being snooty. True to its name, the views of the surrounding mountains and the cityscape to the south are the visual focus of the restaurant. An underground wine cellar houses more than 25,000 bottles with more than 1,400 individual selections.

Blue Willow


A Tucson wholesome food institution
2616 North Campbell Avenue
Tucson, AZ 85719
United States
+1 520 327 7577
A Tucson institution for 20 years, this bakery cafe has set the standard for wholesome food a la 60s and 70s with its omelets, quiches and tofu scrambles. Its glory continues to this day due to the staff's dedication to quality and a chocolate dessert dish that never fails to impress clients and reviewers. A great outdoor patio with greenery and fountains provides shade and cool during brutal Tucson summers.

Gold Room


Worth its weight in gold
245 East Ina Road
Tucson, AZ 85704
United States
+1 520 297 1151 / +1 800 722 2500 (Toll Free)
http://www.westwardlook.com
The Gold Room has been a multiple award-winning restaurant and has long been a Tucson favorite. Located at the naturally breathtaking Westward Look Resort, it has been honored with Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence. It's open and airy with classically elegant furnishings and decor. As you'd expect, gold is used extensively in the color scheme. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford diners a panoramic view of the surrounding desert and mountains. While the menu has recently been given a more modern bent, it still focuses on classic cuisine with a southwestern spin.

This ultra-elegant dining experience is one that shouldn't be missed by global gastronomes. The decor is all opulence and ornate elegance: rich upholstery, classic French-influenced furnishings and jewel-and-precious metal-tones abound. The menu changes regularly to make the best use of fresh seasonal ingredients. A few examples include Venison Loin Adobada with Black Bean Coulis as well as Mushroom Chilaquiles and Rosemary-Scented Chicken, Chili Con Queso and Guaymas Shrimp. A list of more than 500 wines is one of the city's finest.

Jonathan's Tucson Cork


Sensational southwestern setting
6320 East Tanque Verde Road
Tucson, AZ 85715
United States
+1 520 296 1631
http://www.jonathanscork.com
Chef and owner Jonathan Landeen's culinary style is as distinctive as his trademark mustache. The restaurant's five southwestern-style dining rooms are kept cozy with beehive fireplaces and regional art and accessories. Ask any local where to go for buffalo or ostrich, and this place will surely be one of their top picks. Exotic ostrich and buffalo star on a menu of meaty entrees, which also includes steaks, prime rib, roast pork loin and several chicken and seafood dishes.

KingFisher


Award-winning seafood

http://www.kingfisherbarandgri...
This place serves up some of the best seafood you'll find in the city. Not into seafood? There are plenty of other appetizing options. The main dining room is subtle and sophisticated with a large vase as its focal point. To one side, its sea-blue walls define the oyster bar. The fireplaced-lounge is a cozy spot to settle in with a glass from the award-winning wine list. A late night menu features soups, salads, sandwiches and many of their popular seafood items.

Wildflower


A bouquet of fresh flavors
7037 North Oracle Road
Tucson, AZ 85704
United States
+1 520 219 4230
Considered one of the top Tucson restaurants for contemporary fine dining, this beautifully appointed North Oracle eatery is an experience that shouldn't be missed. The regional American cuisine is accented with elements of French, Italian and Asian ingredients and preparations. The high-ceilinged space is comfortable and contemporary. Fairly heavy on seafood, the menu also features poultry, meats and pastas.
