It’s the time of year that has prix-fixe menu fans salivating as the restaurants of Fall Arizona Restaurant Week strut their delicious stuff from Sept. 20-29. With more than 200 Valley eateries, plus a few in Gold Canyon, Sedona and Tucson, this season’s event aims to give diners a vast smorgasbord of options from luxury resort restaurants to neighborhood mom-and-pop spots. Menus are priced at $33, $44 or $55, with the majority of those rates per person, but a few are priced per couple, making them an even better date-night deal. Most feature three courses, usually a starter, main and dessert. But there are some that offer four-course options or a beverage. New menus are added daily, so perusing the Arizona Restaurant Week website is the best way to see the latest offerings at arizonarestaurantweek.com. Still, to help you narrow down the field, we rounded up 17 menus that captured our attention because of the value, creativity of dishes or both. Here’s your guide to great Restaurant Week menus to try this fall.Need a break?

The Spain-influenced menu commences, naturally, with a dish off the tapas list. There’s heirloom tomato gazpacho and toasted sesame bread with mushroom duxelles, manchego and truffle oil. But the Brussels sprouts with crispy jamon, local goat cheese, and spiced hazelnuts, and the smoked paprika marinated octopus with sauteed potatoes get our vote. Main course dish choices feature crispy skin salmon with sofrito artichokes and rapini, harissa herb marinated airline chicken breast accompanied by Catalan style spinach, blistered tomatoes and sumac pickled onions or prime flat iron steak served with harissa manchego mashed potatoes, Andalusian succotash and red wine demi.
