DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails

135 S. Sixth Ave.

Janos Wilder has shed a few layers of skin from his start in the Tucson Museum of Art’s lovely Carriage House to his stint in the Foothills to his glorious return to DOWNTOWN Kitchen + Cocktails. But through all these incarnations, his commitment to celebrating the food of the Sonoran desert has never wavered. That said, Janos remains endlessly inventive in bringing together flavors and techniques, so the menu is an ever-evolving adventure across the globe. And you can even learn how to do it yourself at his cooking classes in the glorious Carriage House across the alley from the restaurant’s home in the Oddfellows Hall. We can’t wait for him to reopen.
