Pig & Pickle

Feels more like Portland then Scottsdale which is very welcome.  A very accommodating staff and a menu that allows you to explore alternative pieces of animal from the comfort of your middle American sensibilities. A place you'd have no problem calling home.

The 'Must Try'- The Pork Shank with Yams

Windsor

Straight out Brooklyn, Mission District, or even Austin comes the preferred home of the Phoenix hipster.  A very solid menu, patio and ambiance.  Conversely the parking situation and service leave a little to be desired.

The 'Must Try'- Crab Cake Eggs Benedict

Cornish Pasty Company

I now understand why the average life span of a 15th Century Cornish miner was like 30 years... these Pasties pack a wallop.You will be amazed at what these guys can put in these things.


The 'Must Try'- The Oggie Pasty

The Praying Monk

It is nice to find a pub that places as much emphasis on its food as its beverages.  The menu contains items that have just the right amount of creativity and comfort.  Well done Mr. May.

The 'Must Try'- The Korean Fried Chicken

                                        

            

The Arcadia Tavern

 Assuming that you have the patience to deal with their insane parking lot this is one of the better watering holes in the neighborhood.  Nothing more then the bar standards but a great environment to relax with the old pals.


The 'Must Try'-The Phoenix Philly

                                                      
                                                    

Citizen Public House

A true source of civic pride.  Congenial atmosphere, attentive staff, and a bold menu that all but begs for repeat visits.  They work wonders with seafood and they are the ones behind that beautiful Stetson salad made famous by Cowboy Ciao.

The 'Must Try'- Trust their specials

                           

OHSO Eatery & Nanobrewery

Tight parking but a staple for the Arcadia neighborhood.  The back patio features great views of Camelback and the burgers rival any of those in the famed Biltmore burger corridor.  Oh and I hear the beer is good too.

The 'Must Try'- Green Chile Carnitas
