One of the most beautiful things about Sonoran Restaurant Week is the ability to enjoy a thoughtfully curated prix-fixe menu for a fraction of the cost. As part of the prix fixe menu, some restaurants will throw in a dessert or even a drink. For those of you like me, who’d prefer to spend the calories on a beverage rather than a dessert, this is for you.
Here are 11 restaurants in Tucson that are offering special prix fixe menus with libations included.
Also, here’s a full list of every participating business this Sonoran Restaurant Week.
