Talavera

As you'd expect in a sumptuous resort setting, Talavera delivers exquisite cuisine, well-considered wine pairings, and a truly spectacular view. Rising culinary star, chef de cuisine Samantha Sanz, is at the helm of the kitchen, which dives deep into traditional Spanish and Latin American classics like paella, dry-aged steaks, gambas al ajillo and jamón ibérico. The meat-heavy entrees are balanced by a fine selection of vegetable small plates, including heirloom carrots and blistered snap peas served in an herbaceous mint pine nut chermoulata. The menu sources many ingredients from local farms, including fresh heirloom tomatoes, locally-crafted olive oil, and Arizona ranch-raised meats. Great sunset views of Pinnacle Peak draw many diners to enjoy their meal on the restaurant's stunning outdoor patio.
