Southern Arizona Restaurants

In southern Arizona, cowboy fare is more common than haute cuisine. There are exceptions, though, especially in the wine region of Sonoita and in the trendy town of Bisbee, both popular for weekend outings from Tucson. And, as one would expect, Mexican food dominates menus.

  • 1. Café Roka

    $$$

    This is the deserved darling of both the hip Bisbee crowd and foodies from all over. The constantly changing, locally sourced evening menu is not extensive, but whatever you order—wild yellow fin tuna, roasted duck, rack of lamb—will be wonderful. Portions are generous, and all entrées come with salad and sorbet. Exposed-brick walls and soft lighting form the backdrop for original artwork, and the 1875 bar harks back to Bisbee's glory days. Reservations are strongly advised.

For starters you can sample everything from Vietnamese spring rolls to curried mussels. Entrées include pistachio-crusted salmon, rack of lamb, and a sizeable selection of vegetarian dishes like ricotta-and-spinach ravioli and coconut curry veggies.
