Tucson restaurants go their own way for Restaurant Week

💵 Arizona Restaurant Week bills itself as a ‘‘statewide affair,’’ but someone apparently forgot to tell Tucson. More than 100 of the city’s best restaurants will participate in Sonoran Restaurant Week from Sept. 8-17 – the same dates as Arizona Restaurant Week.

The frameworks are similar. ARW participants offer prix fixe menus for $33, $44, or $55 per person. For SRW participants, it’s $25, $35, or $45. (Pictured: Food from The Parish in Tucson.)

ARW is present by the Arizona Restaurant Association, while SRW is produced by the website Tucson Foodie.
