2 Best Austrian Restaurants in Phoenix

Phoenix has only a small set of restaurants relevant to an Austrian-food search, and neither listed venue presents itself as a strictly traditional Austrian restaurant. Instead, the choices offer European-adjacent dishes, comfort food, cocktails and distinctive settings for an evening out.

The Farish House is the more intimate choice, with Mediterranean and French fare in a historic cottage. Alden works well around Phoenix Art Museum or Phoenix Theatre Company visits, with kielbasa, pierogies, Reubens, salmon and drinks in a contemporary room.
