Arizona Restaurant Association, the organization that advocates for and supports the state’s hospitality industry, has announced the dates of its 2025 Fall Arizona Restaurant Week. This 10-day period of culinary exploration begins Friday, Sept. 19, and runs through Sunday, 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,” said Arizona Restaurant Association President and CEO Steve Chucri. “We could not be as successful as we are in championing our hospitality industry without the loyalty and dedication of our enthusiastic diners. We thank you all for continuing to give local restaurants some much-needed love and support.”
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.
Arizona Restaurant Week takes place twice a year, with one event in the Spring and the other in the Fall. These events are some of the ARA’s most popular and well-attended efforts. This year, the organization added Arizona Chef’s Week in August to help support local restaurants during the typically slow summertime season. Fall ARW aims to continue that support with 10 days of dining delights and bevvy of restaurants welcoming guests to explore a delicious three-course prix fixe menu for a fraction of the cost.
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. This gives 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—from quick-casual to elegant fine dining. 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.
By Monday, Sept. 1, the Arizona Restaurant Association will post a complete list of participating restaurants as well as their 2025 Fall ARW menus online. New menus will continually be added as restaurants confirm their participation, so check back often.
While there are nearly 150 establishments already committed to participating in this year’s Fall ARW, The Arizona Restaurant Association expects that list to grow to close to 300 by the beginning of the event. Restaurants are encouraged to sign up and get in on the fun.
