Imagine Spain
7000 E. Shea Blvd. (at N 70th St)
Scottsdale • (480) 991-3170

It’s hailed as one of the world’s greatest cuisine. But if you want Spanish fare in this town, you have very few options.
But now there’s one more: Imagine Spain, which just opened in Scottsdale in the storefront that used to house Radda Caffe Bar. Owners Janet Taverner and Jacqueline Caselles lived for years in Valencia, Spain, and the city’s signature dish, paella, is the specialty. Offers a menu of authentic Spanish tapas, which pair nicely with sangria.

Sol y Sombra
20707 N Pima Rd (Market Street at DC Ranch)
Scottsdale • (480) 443-5399

Spain is a hotbed of culinary adventure and innovation with the most exciting restaurants and chefs in Europe hailing from the Iberian Peninsula. In fact over the last decade Spain has become the undisputed culinary capital of Europe. Chefs who push the limits of food and its preparation are redefining Spanish cooking as well as cooking around the world.
Chef Aaron May, who honed his skills at Latin and Spanish restaurants in New York and Arizona with two celebrity chefs, has traveled to Spain on numerous occasions and fallen in love with the cuisine, energy and people of Cataluna, the Northeast corner of Spain where Barcelona is located. Chef May brings traditional Spanish dishes to life at Sol y Sombra and infuses ingredients and preparations with exciting and innovative trends.

Carly's Bistro
128 E Roosevelt St (west of N 1st St)
Phoenix • (602) 262-2759

“Pleasant, artsy eatery that serves mostly Italian, French, and Mediterranean-influenced soups, sandwiches, and salads. Try the Europa (with marinated artichoke hearts) or the Italian (with salami, ham and pesto), and you can’t go wrong. And the duo of hummus dip and olive tapenade, served with pita triangles, is delish as a starter. The place also serves a nice selection of wine and beer, and is happy to do a wine flight for you if you want. Live music some nights. A very civilized spot in the heart of Roosevelt’s ever-developing arts district.”

Lola Tapas

“Dark and atmospheric, tiny Lola’s offers terrific Spanish tapas and wines from a frequently tweaked menu. Standouts include pork skewers, shrimp cakes, potato omelet and spicy garbanzos with spinach and garlic. But really, everything is first-rate.”
- Phoenix Magazine
“Beautiful little tapas restaurant from Daniel and Felicia Ruiz Wayne, the people who brought us Lux Coffeebar on Central Avenue. Since selling their java joint, they’ve devoted themselves to Spanish cuisine and culture with as much energy as they once put into their espresso. The result is quite authentic looking and tasting, a one-of-a-kind spot with Iberian wines and eats, and enough atmosphere to placate Pedro Almodóvar, should he ever pass through town. The only seating is at the small bar or at long common tables, so be prepared to socialize.” - Phoenix New Times
