Fall Restaurant Week is upon us. From Sept. 18-27, hundreds of Arizona restaurants are offering three- and four-course prix fixe menus for $33, $44 and $55 per person, making it a good time to check out the spots you've been wanting to try at a reduced cost.
Nearly 300 metro Phoenix restaurants are participating, including several that were recently recognized in the inaugural Southwest Michelin Guide (not starred, but still shouted out as places to watch that offer impressive bites). They also happen to be places that have won plenty of acclaim elsewhere, from local reviews to James Beard awards.
Here's a guide to all the Michelin recommended restaurants you can try during Fall Restaurant Week 2026.
Hush Public House
Courses: 3 courses.
Price: $55 per person.
Options:
Dine-in only.
For restaurant week, Hush is offering a three-course prix fixe menu.
Diners can select between hamachi crudo, grilled bacon or pan-roasted delicata squash, which would be my choice. It's served with bourbon mascarpone, apple mostarda and a hazelnut gremolata.
The second course is a choice of steak au poivre, grilled pork chops or branzino. The latter is served with sauce vierge and sorrel.
For dessert, diners can choose between chai semifreddo, chocolate budino, or the Michelin-recommended date cake, served with a bourbon toffee sauce and Grateful Spoon vanilla gelato. I'd probably order the chai semifreddo with poached pear and brown butter crumb, and get the date cake a la carte.

IndiBar
Courses: 4 courses.
Price: $55 per person.
Options: Dine-in only.
Indibar is a James Beard semifinalist fine-dining restaurant in Scottsdale with a pan-Indian menu and South Asian-inflected cocktail program. For Restaurant Week, the meal starts with a tamatar tulsi shorba, an indian tomato soup with basil. Appetizer choices include spicy cheese cubes, Afghani murgh (chicken with cardamom and cream), curry leaf calamari and the dish I'm most drawn to — khumani ki tikka, a dish of apricot, yogurt and tamarind.
Mains feature a butter chicken and a branzino along with two vegetarian dishes. Indibar specializes in proteins, so first-timers should try the chicken or fish. Between the vegetarian options of dum ka paneer and bhutta aur khumb lababdar, I'm going for the latter, a dish of mushrooms, corn and cardamom.
Desserts are a choice of a double phirni of lychee with rose and pistachio with saffron or pina colada, made with Valrhona Manjaree 65 percent, coconut textures and pineapple. This one is tough. The Persian in me is drawn to the saffron and pistachio. But then I'm curious about the pina colada. I may have to get the phirni with the tasting menu and order the pina colada à la carte.

Latha
Courses: 3 courses.
Price: $55 per person, plus an optional cocktail pairing for $40 per person.
Options: Dine-in only.
Located at Heritage Square in downtown Phoenix, Latha offers three courses of their pan-African menu for Restaurant Week.
The first course is a choice of burnt onion hummus (shouted out by Michelin judges) or salmon kafta, served with salad mashwiya (a grilled vegetable salad), yogurt tahini and parsley.
The second course is a choice of sour orange curd pork chop, tamarind steak and my pick (as well as the Michelin judge's), pineapple piri piri chicken. I know, it's chicken. But it comes with one of my favorite sides: jollof rice plus labneh, plantain chips, pickled onions and arugula salad. Can you imagine the balance of flavors in there? Sweet, spice, bitter and tart.
For dessert, choose between Haitian mamba pot de creme or the Southern pound cake. I'm getting that cake, even if Michelin hadn't recommended it. It comes with caramelized passion fruit, mango and coconut dulce milk and white chocolate.
Details: 628 E. Adams St., Phoenix. 480-640-6183, lathaphx.com.
