Commoner & Co.

Occupying the space that was formerly The Abbey, Commoner & Co. has quickly become a magnet for Tucson foodies. The restaurant serves New American cuisine, carefully prepared by the kitchen, in a stylish but relaxed dining room with views of the Catalina Mountains. House specialties include the C&C Burger, made with brown sugar and pepper cured pork belly, horse radish pickles, a house dijon, all on a house-baked Texas toast bun. Other options include slow-braised short rib, seared ribeye and crispy white chicken served with cheddary grits. The appetizers are reason enough to visit: try the mouth-watering brulee goat cheese tart. The restaurant is also a popular brunch spot.
