Vincent on Camelback
Chef Vincent Guerithault built a new cuisine by fusing classical French technique with Southwestern ingredients like chiles, corn, and cilantro. A James Beard honoree for the Southwest, he and his family marked the restaurant's 40th anniversary in January 2026 in the same original Camelback Road building.
Voila French Bistro · Scottsdale
A modern spin on French classics where L'Agneau, a rack of savory lamb with pesto, leads into seafood-forward plates and chocolate macarons. It is a haven for bistro cooking on the northeast side of the Valley, tucked into Scottsdale away from the strip.
Zinc Bistro · Scottsdale
A Parisian sidewalk-cafe feel built around a towering Plateaux de Fruits de Mer with oysters, lobster, and mussels, plus a standout French onion soup. It is the closest thing in Scottsdale to a real bistro terrace, down to the zinc bar surface it is named for at Kierland Commons.
Geordie's at Wrigley Mansion · Phoenix
A special-occasion room inside the historic Wrigley Mansion serving European dishes including foie gras and duck confit, with an extensive wine list to match the setting. The draw is as much the mansion's hilltop views over the Valley as the plate itself.
Cafe Monarch · Scottsdale
A four-course prix fixe built around dishes like lamb rack and finished with bananas Foster beignets and sea salt caramel gelato, served under chandeliers in a small, European-feeling Scottsdale room. The set-menu format pushes it closer to a tasting-menu experience than a typical bistro.
