The Ends Named Best Restaurant In Phoenix Arizona 2025

By Phoenix New Times

The Best Restaurant Built on Truth, Flavor, and Intention

The Ends was never built to win awards. It was built to bring people back to what food used to mean. Connection, conversation, and care. But when Phoenix New Times named The Ends the Best Restaurant in Phoenix for 2025, it felt like proof that doing things right still matters.

Located in Old Town Scottsdale, The Ends opened in June 2024 and quickly became known for its clean ingredients, honest cooking, and world-travel-inspired dishes. Designed in warm wood tones and greenery, the restaurant offers a cozy, contemporary atmosphere that’s both intimate and alive.

The Best Restaurant Menu Inspired by Anthony Bourdain & Travel

The Ends was designed as a quiet tribute to Anthony Bourdain and his curiosity, his raw honesty, and his belief that food should mean something. Our menu draws influence from every corner of the world:

• Hamachi Crudo with barrel-aged tamari and chili flakes

• Texas-style Burnt Ends slow-cooked to perfection

• Housemade Pastas and Croissant Bread Pudding for dessert

• Signature Cocktails crafted with clean spirits, no seed oils, and zero shortcuts

Every dish is made with purpose. Every ingredient is chosen for integrity, not convenience.

Why The Ends Stands Apart

The Ends isn’t about luxury or pretense. It’s about craftsmanship. We cook with beef tallow instead of seed oils, use whole, traceable ingredients, and design every dish to serve both body and story.

From the first pour to the last bite, The Ends brings together the best of what dining used to be. Real food, deep flavor, and long nights spent talking about things that matter.
