Top Best French Restaurants in Phoenix

"This downtown Tempe restaurant’s early-1900s roots set the backdrop for two outdoor dining spaces – one covered and the other under the elements that stars an active fish pond and the occasional friendly cat or two. A raised wooden deck built around a mature tree with a canopy that sprawls above the outdoor patio bar is equipped with high tops that serves as an equally worthy third al fresco dining spot. The menu changes with the seasons, but look for favorites like smoked Korean style baby back ribs, harissa spiced mussels and balsamic glazed bacon bison meatloaf."

"Staying power: This Tempe restaurant proves wrong those who think white-linen tablecloth dining can’t compete with beer-and-wings spots in a college town. Owners Robert and Robin Trick took on a seven-month remodel mostly on their own, transforming a rundown cottage steps from the buzz of Mill Avenue into one of the city’s destinations for celebratory meals."

"This romantic hideaway is tucked away on a side street in the heart of downtown Tempe. The restaurant opened in 1987 in a charmingly remodeled 1920s cottage. The cozy interior doesn't fit many tables, but diners can enjoy some amazing atmosphere on the roomy patios under a canopy of trees."

"Vincent on Camelback is a local landmark dining destination that is highly acclaimed for its chef-driven, upscale French and Southwestern fusion fare, an exceptional selection of fine wines, and elegant, intimate vibe. A favorite spot for romantic dinners and special celebrations for more than 30 years, Vincent on Camelback presents a unique blend of classic French recipes with Southwestern ingredients such as Maine Lobster with Housemade Basil Pasta, Macadamia Crusted Sea Scallops with Basil Bleurre Blanc, and Duck Confit with Pommes Lyonnaise and Cranberry Sauce. An award-winning wine list offers excellent selections to pair with the cuisine, and the restaurant is open for Tuesday through Saturday."

"Vincent on Camelback has been a Valley favorite since the 1980s when Chef Vincent Guerithault pioneered his unique brand of Southwestern-inflected French cuisine. Chef Vincent boldly marries traditional French techniques with indigenous Southwestern ingredients and flavors, with remarkable and inimitable results. Try the lobster chimichangas, perfectly crisp on the outside and stuffed with succulent lobster in a basil beurre blanc and a side of avocado corn salsa."

"Little has changed about Zinc Bistro in its two decades, and for good reason. At this authentic French bistro, co-owners Matt Carter and Terry Ellisor (both of The Mission and Fat Ox), strike all the right notes. Sit on the wrap-around patio and imagine Kierland Commons is Boulevard Saint-Germain (it takes couple glasses of Champagne for this to work), or head through the restaurant to the secluded garden patio."

"Butcher paper-topped tables, wood-framed mirrors, and a sleek, zinc-capped bar give Zinc Bistro a distinctly modern and luxurious feel, making it the perfect place to enjoy a special lunch with friends or business associates. Chef Matt Carter has been drawing accolades for his casual take on classic French fare since 2001. Try the truffle-infused pomme frites, the white wine-steamed mussels, and steak au poivre."
