Best New Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona, Spring 2025 | Eater Phoenix

"Chef Bernie Kantak and his longtime business partner Andrew Fritz of Citizen Public House and The Gladly have opened a winsome all-day restaurant in a tiny, tucked-away space in the heart of Old Town. Expect exceptional coffee (thanks to coffee nerd Fritz) and Kantak’s ridiculously good savory kolache (don’t miss the birria when they have it). Other offerings include an unlikely but delicious chia pudding-blue corn grits combo (festooned with berries and coconut-pecan granola), a light, summery crab and shrimp roll, Kantak’s legendary chopped salad, and the best French toast in town." - McConnell Quinn
