10Best Lunch
The Capital Grille
(Restaurants - Lunch)
16489 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-348-1700
Distance: ~0.89 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. Superb food and service are hallmarks of this highly regarded national chain whose Scottsdale location takes design cues from Frank Lloyd Wright in the form of natural materials and strong geometry. It's fitting that the work of a master architect should dovetail with the accomplished preparation of succulent, dry-aged steaks and chops. Whet your appetite with chilled caviar or fresh oysters before diving into a porcini-rubbed Delmonico, lamb chops, or a veal chop with roquefort butter. Broiled lobster and sesame-seared tuna testify to the virtues of seafood, and with fresh asparagus, Lyonnaise potatoes, and coconut cream pie, you've a meal fit for royalty!

Zinc Bistro
(Restaurants - Lunch)
15034 N Scottsdale Rd Kierland Commons, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-603-0922
Distance: ~1.63 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. Bustling and brisk during lunch, this surprisingly authentic French bistro quiets down in the evening and becomes a great spot for a romantic, candlelit dinner. Snow-white linen tablecloths drape gracefully over wrought iron tables, poised to accept pan-seared filet mignon with foie gras in a red wine glaze or a center-cut rack of lamb with white bean and Gruyère fondue. Sides like bacon, mushroom, and mascarpone polenta are equally tempting. Of course, dessert is a must – the port and vanilla berry tart is accented with toasted almonds and mint.

NoRTH
(Restaurants - Lunch)
15024 N Scottsdale Rd Kierland Commons, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-948-2055
Distance: ~1.63 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. An occasionally noisy dining room, especially at lunch, is a small price to pay for North's innovative, simply-prepared New Italian dishes. The bustling atmosphere of Kierland Commons is the perfect setting for this hip restaurant, and the ample patio allows you to blend right in. Heavy sauces are foregone in favor of lighter, cleaner preparations. Lasagna is crafted with chicken, tomato, and shiitake mushrooms; thin-crust pizzas are topped with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Exotic martinis and a delightful hazelnut and chocolate mousse dessert are welcome surprises.

Havana Cafe
(Restaurants - Lunch)
6245 E Bell Rd, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-991-1496
Distance: ~1.73 mi *
        Description: SCOTTSDALE. It may be difficult to find a Scottsdale restaurant serving truly authentic Cuban cuisine, but the search ends here. The wide-ranging menu's Cuban and Latin American dishes include sopa de frijoles negros (black bean soup), pollo Cubano (chicken smothered in citrus, garlic, and onion sauce), and paella à la Havana. Make a conscious effort to save room for dessert; a few tempting options include the delectable Caribbean candy bar, chocolate bread pudding, and guava cheesecake.

Wildflower Bread Company
(Restaurants - Lunch)
15640 N Pima Rd Sonora Village, Scottsdale  85260 • 480-991-5180
Distance: ~1.79 mi *
        Description: Every day the aroma of freshly baked bread fills this sunny neighborhood spot. Loaves are allowed to rise for 16 to 24 hours before being baked and served with spreads of butter and jam or as part of a delicious lunch sandwich. Decadent choices include hot gourmet creations like chicken pesto and feta, honey-cured ham and swiss, and the BLT Plus (the "plus" referring to herb mayo and avocado). A wide array of soups, salads, and pastas is also available; try smoked salmon alfredo or tomato bread salad.

Arrivederci
(Restaurants - Lunch)
7101 E Thunderbird Rd, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-922-8225
Distance: ~2.44 mi *
        Description: A nondescript location belies the delicious Italian cuisine served inside this popular restaurant. Locals flock to Arrivederci for tender pastas and succulent meat and seafood dishes. Lobster-stuffed ravioli in a creamy, saffron-infused sauce and delicate potato gnocchi in a four-cheese sauce are two of the most requested entrees, while carpaccio and eggplant parmigiana also win raves. Naturally, desserts are of equally high quality, especially decadent ricotta cheesecake. Intimate ambiance and attentive service are pluses.

Flo's Chinese Restaurant
(Restaurants - Lunch)
15027 N Thompson Peak Pkwy, Scottsdale  85260 • 480-661-8883
Distance: ~2.78 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. Fresh, innovative takes on the same old, same old Chinese favorites make Flo's a welcome addition to the Scottsdale dining scene. Ordering Flo's twist on chips and salsa – wontons and dipping sauce – is practically mandatory. Chicken, beef, pork, and fish comprise the greater part of the menu, but preparations are new and inventive. Spicy cinnamon shrimp, tomato beef, and jalapeno pork and bacon rattle your preconceptions about standard Chinese food. And while not claiming to be an authentic Asian delicacy, chocolate cheesecake is a rich, satisfying ending to your meal.

Kashman's Place
(Restaurants - Lunch)
23425 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale  85255 • 480-585-6221
Distance: ~3.79 mi *
        Description: NORTH SCOTTSDALE. Owned and operated by New York natives, Kashman's brings a taste of the Big Apple to Arizona. Folks who come often claim one of the bistro tables and order savory fare like a baguette stuffed with brie, Pennsylvania ham, and champagne mustard, or a smoked salmon platter with tomato, red onion, and capers. Distinctive salads (some topped with juicy grilled chicken) and singular soups like autumn pumpkin add depth to a midday meal. Flavored and regular coffees and, of course, bagels are also available.

Guido's Chicago Meat & Deli
(Restaurants - Lunch)
10893 N Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-951-0636
Distance: ~4.19 mi *
        Description: SCOTTSDALE. Affordable and tasty! That's the combination at Guido's restaurant and Italian grocery. At lunch, the protocol is to order at the counter; dinner is a sit-down affair – both are casual. Be sure and order Guido's famous "frizel," a mound of toasted Italian bread smothered in tomato, red onion, pesto, olive oil, red wine vinegar and Romano cheese. Sausages, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, subs, fried chicken, chicken parmesan, and salads complete the menu. Desserts include rich ricotta cheesecake and other Italian sweets.

Sushi on Shea
(Restaurants - Lunch)
7000 E Shea Blvd, Scottsdale  85254 • 480-483-7799
Distance: ~4.41 mi *
        Description: SCOTTSDALE. With an extensive menu covering the spectrum of Japanese cuisine, Sushi on Shea has become a Scottsdale favorite. Albacore tataki, salmon, and yellowtail are an introduction to the bounty, but if you find it hard to make up your mind, try the bento box, a sampler of sorts. Soup, noodle dishes, tempura, and teriyaki options are available for those who aren't keen on the delights of raw fish. The compelling decor boasts seawater aquariums and sets a fashionable scene.
