Laura Linger: Expensive to the point of being outrageous, but worth every penny if only for the stunning views. The food is outstanding, too; I especially recommend their Thanksgiving spread.

Vietnamese Restaurant · 33 tips and reviews
Laura Linger: It's a dive. It's delicious. Easily the best Vietnamese I have eaten since I was actually in Vietnam. My mother-in-law loved it. Enough said?

Fondue Restaurant · Arrowhead Ranch · 14 tips and reviews
Laura Linger: My husband is his happiest when he is dipping things in melted cheese. Luckily for us, this location of Melting Pot is terrific. Great service, always a fun time and good food.
4550 E Cactus Rd (at Paradise Valley Mall), Phoenix, AZ
Deli · 65 tips and reviews
Laura Linger: A Phoenix institution, especially for brunch. Prepare for a long wait on the weekends, but so very worth it. (I especially recommend hand-sliced nova on an untoasted bialy with olive cream cheese.)
6738 E Cave Creek Rd (North Of E Viola Ln.), Cave Creek, AZ
BBQ Joint · 28 tips and reviews
Laura Linger: Touristy as all get out, but who cares? It's so much fun, and the BBQ is delicious! Parking can be a problem; luckily, the Cave Creek main drag is very pro-pedestrian, so you can park and walk.
Italian Restaurant · Camelback East · 12 tips and reviews
Laura Linger: Although Tomaso's comes very close for the "best Italian in Phoenix" title. He and his restaurant are beloved Valley institutions. Dining there is a bit like stepping onto the set of Goodfellas!
20910 N Tatum Blvd Ste 150 (at Desert Ridge), Phoenix, AZ
Sushi Restaurant · Desert Ridge · 43 tips and reviews
Laura Linger: A new favorite. If there is one thing I love more than well-made, decently priced sushi, it's when it's brought to me via conveyor belt. Memories of Omotesando, not a bad thing at all. Love it.
