Best Organic Food Restaurants in Fountain Hills / Rio Verde

When you walk through the gates you feel like you’re in Europe. We were immediately greeted upon walking in. Once seated we were quickly given menus and met our servers. They went through the menus (wine, cocktail, caviar, and the different courses) with great detail. We chose 2 cocktails and the four courses. My partner and I ordered all the courses so we could try everything. I chose the rack of lamb and he chose the surf and turf as the final course. Everything was fantastic. The dishes were cooked to perfection and packed with unique flavors. We finished off with the pear creme brûlée for dessert, which was very good, but the four course meal was definitely the star of the show. We had a wonderful evening, and we would highly recommend for a special occasion to treat yourself at Cafe Monarch.

Lovely breakfast catching up with a friend. The short rib hash could have been a lot more tender- was more like tough stew meat. Arcadia was great, recognizing it was not the best meal they had served, and removed it from my final bill. Everything else was wonderful.

Perfect evening at the perfect spot. Great food. Patio can’t be beat; well-lit and warm even at ~50 degrees. Alex did a great job taking care of us. The sliders (I think we tried them all), rotisserie chicken, prawns, burrata and prosciutto, buffalo chicken waffle fries, sangria, old fashioneds, brownie dessert…, everything was perfect. Thank you Mo for introducing our friends to your restaurant. We’ll all be back soon.

Food was amazing! Pasta strascinati, lobster pappardelle special, veal saltimbocca, and osso bucco were all fantastic. Can’t miss. Our waitress was great but service was a bit slow at the end. Definite hit in Scottsdale area!

Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
