Flagstaff Arizona Restaurants


After a day spent hiking Flagstaff’s scenic mountain trails or strolling through its historic downtown, we’re hungry for a good meal.

Lucky for us, there is a great selection of Flagstaff Arizona restaurants to get our mouths watering.

As you might expect in a college town, you’ll find plenty of places to get a brew, grab a cup of Joe or fill up on pizza.

But there is also a great selection of restaurants serving quick bites to eat and comfort food, ethnic eateries and gourmet fine dining.

Here are some of our favorites, listed alphabetically:


Brix Restaurant Flagstaff AZ

Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar
Although the atmosphere is casual, the dining is fine at Brix. Set in a historic brick carriage house just 3 blocks north of downtown, Brix has been garnering acclaim as one of the best Flagstaff Arizona restaurants. Chef Laura Chamberlain’s cuisine is bursting with fresh produce from local farmers and ranchers in the Northern Arizona/Four Corners region.

Her seasonally inspired menus are perfectly paired with a carefully selected but extensive wine list. Dishes such as deconstructed salad niçoise with tuna carpaccio, grilled Cedar River Farms New York strip steak and pan-seared seasonal fish with sweet corn soufflé and heirloom tomato relish continue the fine tradition of California style cuisine begun by culinary luminaries like Alice Waters and Deborah Madison.

Address: 413 N. San Francisco Street, Flagstaff AZ 86001
Phone: (928) 213-1021
Cost: $$$-$$$$
Hours: Open Monday – Saturday
Lunch: 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Dinner: From 5:00 pm.



Beaver Street Brewery restaurant Flagstaff AZ

Beaver Street Brewery
Beaver Street Brewery is definitely the place to go for good food, good brew and to have a good time. Everyone’s friendly here and the atmosphere is like an after-ski party in a mountain lodge, complete with the antique wood-burning stoves. The varied menu includes quesadillas, wood-fired pizzas, burgers, steamed mussels in Thai curry sauce, green goddess salmon salad and portobello mushroom sandwich.

Beaver Street Brewery has a variety of microbrews like the full-bodied Rail Head Red to the fruity Bramble Berry Brew. Not sure what to try? You can sample any beer for just 50 cents. We got quite a kick out of reading the cocktails menu with its suggestive adults-only drink names. Beaver Street Brewery’s separate billiard room, Brews & Cues, is next door and has the same menu plus pool tables and games.

Address: 11 S. Beaver Street, Flagstaff AZ 86001

You won’t find this café mentioned in any of the tourist brochures. But you know a place has got to be good when it’s always filled with locals. Set in the heart of downtown, this art-filled eatery serves delicious breakfasts like peach-topped French toast, huevos rancheros and breakfast burritos.

Lunch dishes include Southwest black bean burger, Greek salad, mahi mahi tacos and pulled pork wrap. There’s always a great selection of vegetarian dishes and everything’s made with farm-fresh ingredients. The casual atmosphere, great food and friendly service make this one of our favorite Flagstaff Arizona restaurants.

Campus Coffee Bean Flagstaff AZ restaurants

Tucked into a shopping center and conveniently located close to I-40 and the Northern Arizona University campus, this spacious café is a college student’s dream. It’s an ultra-casual hangout with a large selection of coffees and even a larger selection of teas including more flavors of the Yogi Tea brand than we’ve ever seen in one place.

We really liked their big breakfasts, which range from eggs and bacon and pancakes to huge omelets and breakfast burritos. The lunch menu has a variety of deli style and grilled sandwiches, gyros, hummus plates, salads, soups and chili- all reasonably priced.

Located on the first floor of the historic Weatherford Hotel, you can’t help but notice Charly’s because its sidewalk patio tables always seem to be filled. Diners come for the people-watching and for the mixed American/Southwestern menu of local favorites. Burgers, crab cakes, and prime rib share the menu with regional specialties like quesadillas, enchiladas, posole and Navajo tacos.

La Bellavia restaurant in Flagstaff AZ

La Bellavia
Located on the other side of the train tracks from downtown, this cozy country café has been serving tasty breakfasts and lunches for other 30 years. This is another one of the popular Flagstaff Arizona restaurants for locals and the photos of regulars on the wall proves it. The breakfasts - trout and eggs, seven grain French toast, breakfast burrito - are delicious and filling.

We liked that La Bellavia offers a selection of diverse sides with their breakfasts such as buttermilk pancakes, Swedish oat pancake, flour tortillas or toast with your dish. Kids will love the koala chip pancakes, shaped like a koala and filled with chocolate. Lunch dishes include specialty sandwiches like corned beef reuben, veggie deluxe and roast beef hoagie as well as salads, soups and burgers.

Macy's Coffeehouse restaurant in Flagstaff AZ

Macy’s European Coffeehouse
Yes, there is a Starbucks in Flagstaff. But why go there when you can go to Macy’s instead? Macy’s was the first commercial coffee roaster in the Arizona and they have been making a great cup of Joe since 1980. Their coffee is made with premium Arabica hard bean varieties from organic and estate coffee growers, which they grind to European standards.

The atmosphere is bohemian, the coffee list extensive and the menu all-vegetarian. Their pastries include wheat-free, dairy-free and vegan choices. You’ll also find a good selection of teas including chai and a yummy hot cocoa topped with a great dollop of whipped cream.

Monsoon on the Rim

Monsoon on the Rim
Although this pan-Asian restaurant has a simple look and feel, the menu is large and varied. They offer an extensive selection of sushi plus lettuce wraps, egg rolls, teriyaki, Chinese stir fried specialties and Thai curries.

We really liked the unusual Arizona roll, a take on the standard California roll, but with smoked salmon substituted for the traditional crab and a jalapeno-spiked prickly pear cream cheese. The bar has an affordable mix of cocktails, beer and wine. Monsoon on the Rim is located right on Heritage Square, in the center of downtown.

Pasto Cucina restaurant in Flagstaff AZ

Pasto Cucina Italiana
Pasto is the kind of restaurant you expect to see in New York or San Francisco. The elegant interior, with its exposed brick walls, pressed copper ceiling, hardwood floors and tables topped with black tablecloths and flickering candles, feels both chic and intimate. Multiple courses are the theme here and the staff recommends that diners share the plates of modest portions.

The contemporary Italian menu draws inspiration from Italy’s diverse regions. Dishes include tagliatelle Bolognese, salmon picatta, charbroiled pork loin and mushroom canneloni. To get a full meal, we ordered antipasti and salad before we had our entrée. Wine lovers will appreciate Pasto’s extensive wine list, many of which are selected from independent vintners with limited production runs. Pasto is good for foodies and wine lovers. However, only sophisticated kids will probably appreciate the menu and atmosphere.

Address: 19 E. Aspen Street, Flagstaff AZ 86001

Cost: $$-$$$
Hours: Open for dinner Tuesday – Sunday 5:00 pm to close.
