Finding a delicious meal in Arizona isn’t difficult; in fact, you’ll find plenty of examples in our articles! However, tracking down a long-time restaurant that has maintained its vintage charm over the years and continues to serve mouthwatering dishes can be more of a challenge.
Luckily, we're going to take a look at one Phoenix restaurant that seems almost untouched by time. This is Durant's.
Durant's is a fine dining restaurant located along Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix.
Not much here has changed since the restaurant opened in 1950. That includes the classic dishes and luxurious decor that harkens back to another era.
You might walk in expecting to see some of your favorite mid-century characters and stars from film and television seated at the bar or in the booths. Some of them may have even dined here once, like Clark Gable, John Wayne, and Marilyn Monroe. That's how timeless it feels!
When you step into the restaurant, you'll be greeted by deep red tones, rich leather, and a waiting staff dressed up in ties and tuxedo vests.
Let's take a peek at the menu!
Meals start off with complimentary bread. At Durant's its a ciabatta bread buttered and topped with minced garlic and leeks.
Order a martini or other cocktail to go with your meal.
Durant's is known for its meats: filet mignon, a massive porterhouse as large as your hand, and perfectly cooked strip steak that will fill you right up.
However, if you're looking for a meal that's a little less heavy, you'll want to try out their seafood or chicken dishes. They also have salads and combo plates.
This is a restaurant you'll want to visit for both the food and atmosphere!
Durant’s is located at 2611 North Central Avenue in Phoenix. You can find details about their menu and hours by visiting their website, durantsaz.com.
