Guidebook for Tucson
Food Scene
The menu changes twice daily, but it's all good - and particularly the corn dish if you are vegetarian. For the adventurous, let the chef pick your dinner options. Authentic food, gracious atmosphere, stunning art. I've never brought a guest here who didn't enjoy it!

Chef Doug Levy is a gem. Feast is what it is because of his creativity. The menu changes monthly and there's always some culinary adventure on there. One staple that is a fave is the grilled cheese and eggplant. You can't go wrong with any of the vegetable dishes - and in fact, what I often do is order a bunch of small plates with a friend and we share them so we can sample several items. Relaxed and fun.

Tucson was the first UNESCO City of Gastronomy in North America because of our food traditions and innovation. Chef Janos Wilder is a big part of that, internationally acclaimed and humble at the same time. His food s rooted in tradition, but with creative twists. He's truly an artist and one of the staples of our downtown district.

This Ethiopian restaurant is absolutely worth a stop. Run out of a tiny home right on Broadway and named after the chef's mother, the food is full of life and spice and served in a communal, casual fashion. Although they're efficient, we would recommend going there when you can linger a bit over a leisurely meal.
