Another addition to the Fox restaurant empireand the second Fox restaurant at La Encantadais yet another winner. Excellent updated Sonoran food, crackling service, a spectacular view and a hip, young vibe make Blanco worth the foothills prices. (8-30-07)
Also at 6260 E. Speedway Blvd.
(747-7477) and 421 W. Ina Road (461-1111). Voted best bread in Tucson
ever since it opened, Beyond Bread
specializes in reviving the art of artisan
bread, with its small batches and
hand-formed loaves. Monstrous
sandwiches, excellent pastries and swift
service have earned this venue its status
as one of the best places in Tucson to
grab a quick bite to eat. (2-5-01)
Upbeat, urban and chic, Montana Avenue has a vibe thats more Scottsdale or New York (in a good way) than stereotypical Tucson. The menu offers about a dozen interesting appetizers, as well as about a dozen entrées for each lunch and dinner (including an excellent buttermilk chicken)and all of the items we sampled were tasty. Our Sunday brunch experience was less than stellar, but for the other 13 lunches and dinners in the week, youre bound to get some delicious foodand youre bound to feel trendy eating it. Restaurant will close on Saturday, Aug. 13. (5-18-06)
Also at 5285 E. Broadway Blvd.
(514-1122) and 2990 N. Campbell Ave. (795-0344). Whippet-thin specialty pizzas
and tasty salads dominate the menu at
Sauce, a fast-casual restaurant owned by
the folks behind Wildflower and NoRTH. A trendy, bright atmosphere
and a large outdoor dining area provide
ample reasons for you to eat out,
although to-go orders for those who want
to dine at home are welcomed.

This
venue's
strength is the creative talent of its kitchen
and
innovative renditions from the American
regional
repertoire. The late-night bar menu is
deservedly popular. Award-winning wine
selections. (3-27-03)
