The Best Restaurants
Near North Scottsdale.

North Scottsdale sits at the center of one of the best restaurant scenes in the Southwest, with everything from James Beard-recognized steakhouses to intimate, chef-driven tasting menus a short drive from the estate. Here are our favorites, along with a few more of the area's most-loved spots worth building a night around.

Back to the estate

Our Favorites

Ocean 44

Seafood & Steak, Old Town Scottsdale

Our personal top pick for a celebration. Ocean 44 pairs a raw bar and fresh seafood with prime steaks in a dramatic, glass-walled dining room. Book well ahead for a group, and ask for a private room or a set menu.

4748 N Goldwater Blvd, Scottsdale

Cafe Monarch

Fine Dining, Old Town Scottsdale

An intimate, chef-driven restaurant known for its tasting menu, which changes with the seasons. Reservations are essential, and it is best for a smaller group or a special-occasion dinner.

6939 E 1st Ave, Scottsdale

Toca Madera

Modern Mexican, Old Town Scottsdale

High-energy and beautifully designed, Toca Madera serves modern Mexican food in a lounge-style room. It is a good pick when your group wants dinner to turn into a night out.

4736 N Goldwater Blvd, Scottsdale

More Local Favorites Worth Booking

Mastro's Steakhouse, North Scottsdale If you would rather not drive into Old Town, this steakhouse sits near Pinnacle Peak, a short trip from the estate. Expect classic steaks and seafood in a lively room, and book early for a large table.

Buck & Rider, North Scottsdale A seafood-focused restaurant with a bright, lively dining room. A strong option for a group dinner that does not require the drive into Old Town; call ahead for larger tables.

Nobu Scottsdale Japanese cuisine from the Nobu restaurant group, with an extensive sushi and sashimi menu. A destination dinner for a group that wants something upscale and memorable.

Franco's Italian Caffe A long-running Scottsdale favorite for traditional Italian food and handmade pasta, in a relaxed setting. Equally good for a family dinner or a quieter night out.

The Henry A relaxed, all-day restaurant with a broad menu from brunch through dinner. A good choice when your group wants something easy and dependable rather than a full fine-dining night.

The Mission Modern Latin cooking in a warm, candlelit room, with a patio for warmer evenings. A livelier, more social pick than most fine-dining options, with a strong tequila list.

3815 N Brown Ave, Scottsdale (Old Town), also has a Kierland location

Planning Your Reservations

Scottsdale's best restaurants, especially Cafe Monarch, Ocean 44, and Toca Madera, book up well in advance on weekends and during peak season (December–April, and especially Waste Management Phoenix Open week in February). If you know your dates, it's worth reserving your top pick as soon as you book your stay.

For larger groups, several of these restaurants, including Ocean 44 and Cafe Monarch, offer private dining rooms, which can be worth requesting directly when your group is 8 or more.
