The Top 5 Scottsdale Restaurants
Cafe Monarch
Cafe Monarch opened in 2009 on a quiet block of 1st Avenue in Old Town Scottsdale, in a small converted bungalow whose interior was rebuilt around the central design idea that has since become the restaurant's signature: a glass-roofed central courtyard, paved in flagstone, ringed with a hundred-plus candles, ornamented with hanging tendrils and grape vines, and ceilinged in open sky on temperate nights and a retractable cover otherwise. The dining capacity is intentionally small — about fifty covers across the courtyard and a covered side gallery — and the room is consistently named by Tripadvisor as a Top 5 fine-dining destination in the United States.
FnB Restaurant
FnB opened in 2009 inside Craftsman Court — a small historic cluster of bungalows on 5th Avenue in downtown Scottsdale's gallery district — and has held its operating address through three Phoenix-area restaurant cycles. The room is small and deliberately spare: a forty-eight-seat dining floor centred on an open kitchen pass with bar seating along the cook line, exposed-brick walls, an outdoor patio against the Craftsman Court courtyard, and the kind of cared-for warmth that comes from chef-owners working the line nightly. The cleanness of the design is the point — nothing distracts from the vegetables.
