Stray Dogs, which transformed from Zona 78 into its current incarnation just months ago, serves American classics such as burgers, pizza, and hot dogs in a casual, comfortable environment. Their kitchen is obsessed with creating dishes from scratch, including a house-made bratwurst and every sauce and dressing — even mayonnaise.

The patio is dog-friendly and includes a miniature dog park area complete with a fire hydrant, so bring your canine companion.

Cafe Francais, the French bakery known for its scratch-made croissants and kouign-amann, is closing for good. Owners Noelle and Daniel Martinez announced the closure on Instagram Wednesday afternoon, ending a seven-year run that began on Tucson’s east side.

“Thank you, Tucson, for one hell of a crazy, amazing, and sometimes terrible 7-year ride. We’ve truly loved it all, the good, the bad, and the difficult.”
