Tohono Chul Tea Room

Tohono Chul Tea Room Review

The food is excellent—especially now that Chef Hall of Acacia Restaurant presides over it—but what many come for is the location inside a wildlife sanctuary, surrounded by flowering desert gardens. The Southwestern interior has Mexican tile, light wood, and a cobblestone courtyard. Dine outside on the back patio to watch hummingbirds and butterflies. House favorites include a melon-cucumber-mint gazpacho, grilled chicken on fry bread, and assorted organic salads. Open daily 8-5, the Tea Room also serves breakfast, afternoon tea with scones, and a popular weekend brunch.
