Tohono Chul Park

Tohono Chul Park 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 tortilla soup, grilled portabella mushroom sandwich, and southwest chopped salad. Open daily 8-5, the Tea Room is popular for Saturday and Sunday brunch.
