Francine

Best Romantic Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona for Date Night | Eater Phoenix

"Located in the luxury wing of Scottsdale Fashion Square, Francine offers a fine dining menu inspired by the south of France that marries Mediterranean flavors with Arizona’s laidback vibe. The space is light, breezy, and chic, with subtle touches of French elegance. Standout dishes include whole branzino flambeed in a salt crust, bone marrow bucatini with chives, and a tender rack of lamb with piquillo pepper. Classic offerings like ratatouille and steak frites are complemented by more lavish options like lobster pasta in pastis bisque. While many nearby spots lean into opulence, Francine strikes a balance with a sophisticated atmosphere and food that punches above its weight, making it a go-to for a romantic meal." - McConnell Quinn
