NEW THIS YEAR: Arizona Chef's Week Chef Dinner Series

Looking for an even more unforgettable Chef’s Week experience?

In addition to more than 60 participating chef-driven restaurants across the Valley and beyond, a select group of chefs will host four exclusive, one-night-only Chef Dinner Series experiences throughout the event.

These intimate dinners go beyond the traditional Chef’s Week menu, featuring specially curated multi-course dining experiences complete with thoughtfully paired cocktails and wines, and the opportunity to experience each chef’s creativity in a more immersive setting.

With only four Chef Dinners taking place during Arizona Chef’s Week, seating is extremely limited and tickets are expected to sell out quickly.
