Mexican food to milkshakes: Here's your guide to all the restaurants at Scottsdale Quarter
For over a decade, the Scottsdale Quarter has served as the lively, if a bit more lowkey of the Scottsdale shopping, dining and entertainment hubs. In contrast to the popular, but slightly overwhelming Scottsdale Fashion Square mall to the south, Scottsdale Quarter is a more relaxed outdoor mall with popular stores like Lululemon and Urban Outfitters and a slew of dining options from upscale restaurants serving steak, pasta and seafood to health-focused grab and go acai bowls and juices and over-the-top snacks like custom-filled cream puffs and extravagant milkshakes. —
Where Scottsdale Road serves as the dividing line between Phoenix and north Scottsdale, it also divides two neighboring malls, the combination of which is one serious dining hub. If you're looking for a guide to the restaurants at neighboring Kierland Commons, you can find that here.
Here's your guide to all the restaurants at the Scottsdale Quarter.
