Uptown Sedona Arizona Restaurants

Canyon Breeze Restaurant Sedona
For one of the Sedona Arizona restaurants that's perfect for a quick and inexpensive meal with a great view, Canyon Breeze is a breeze of a choice.

Its simple, cafeteria-style dining room has jaw-dropping views of the towering red rocks over Oak Creek Canyon through its 120-foot glass walls. We think the view’s even better from the patio.

The food is American grill and Mexican favorites including roasted turkey sandwich, grilled paninis, fish tacos, gourmet pizza, salads and pancakes.

There's also a full bar, a coffee bar or you can get ice cream, sorbet or fruit smoothies. We think it can't be beat for a really quick meal or snack.

Red rock scenery and creekside dining along Oak Creek are just the icing on the cake. The menu changes seasonally from game and hearty vegetables in winter to a lighter, spa-like menu in summer, inspired by the bounty of the on-site chef's garden.

Run by business partners Lisa Dahl and Andrea DiLuca, the restaurant's atmosphere is Italian elegant yet comfortable.

If their excellent service and attention to detail doesn't have you coming back for more, their classic Italian cuisine with dishes such as chicken piccata, deep sea scallops and prawns in lemoncello sauce will.

Their extensive pizza menu spans the range from traditional pepperoni and classic margherita to unusual combos like Thai chicken and chipotle and barbacoa beef.

Or, design your own pizza and choose from many toppings and several sauces. They also have several vegetarian pizzas and even gluten-free pizzas.

Southern Sedona Arizona Restaurants

Elote Café
Scottsdale chef Jeff Smedstad, known for his exceptional Mexican cooking when he was chef at Los Sombreros, has set up shop in Sedona.

Elote Café continues Smedstad's delicious exploration of regional Mexican cuisine. Only now his restaurant has stunning red rock views to match the food.

We found the food and the service to be exceptional. Smedstad's restaurant may be casual but he's serious about his food.

Dishes like green corn tamal, chicken tacos de mole, lamb adobo and pepita-crusted snapper are a revelation for those used to the typical Mexican fare of enchiladas and burritos.

Everything is superbly fresh and beautifully presented. Don't miss the side dish of elote - from which the restaurant gets its name. This bowl of roasted corn enhanced with lime, Cotija cheese and a spicy mayonnaise – is an authentic Mexican treat.

Elote Cafe has become one of the most popular Sedona Arizona restaurants, so make reservations before you go.

Javelina Cantina
Tucked among the Hillside Shops on Highway 179, Javelina Cantina is worth searching out for their tasty and generously-portioned platters of borderlands Mexican food, which blends ingredients and influences from both the U. S. and Mexico.

Javelina Cantina is known for several Southwestern-inspired specialties including grilled steak and cheese torta, Rocky Point fish tacos and blackened sea scallops salad with papaya and cilantro-lime vinaigrette.

Our personal favorite is the delicious salmon tostada with black beans and mango salsa.

Traditionalists will like the variety of fajitas, tacos, chalupas, burritos, tamales and margaritas. There are plenty of options for vegetarians too.

If you can, get a table on the deck for gorgeous red rock views where the sunset is the only thing that will distract you from the great food.

We like El Rincon for its hearty combination platters such as hand-rolled machaca beef chimichangas, green corn tamales, chile rellenos and chicken enchiladas.

Try the Navajo pizzas made with a sopapilla crust for a unique Southwestern specialty. You'll feel like you're in Old Mexico in Rincon's breezy patios and piñata-decorated dining room.

But you'd be missing out on Oak Creek brewery's good food.

Their large menu offers eclectic fare including the Sonoran shrimp cocktail, the Vortex veggie platter and the Red Rock Rack – charbroiled baby back ribs with housemade barbeque sauce.

Sedona Arizona Restaurants in The Village of Oak Creek

Cucina Rustica
This is Dahl and DiLuca's second restaurant and it's just as ecellent as the first.

The Old World style dining rooms evoke a rustic Mediterranean atmosphere with wrought iron chairs and chandeliers, antique wood doors and a stone fountain.

A charming patio dotted with trees and brickwork is a perfect warm weather dining retreat.

The menu features Mediterranean food with a Southwestern twist. Dishes like grilled artichokes, chicken sautéed with spinach in a chipotle cream sauce and prawns wrapped in prosciutto and radicchio blend the ingredients of both cuisines.
