    When Filthy Animal opened along Mill Avenue, it brought a luxe jungle feel to Tempe. Now, it’s been named the best new restaurant in the country. On Tuesday, review site Yelp released its annual list of the 25 best new restaurants nationwide. The site tallied reviews and ratings of restaurants that opened between January 1, 2025, and June 11, 2026. Filthy Animal took the top spot. The large restaurant took over the former home of P.F.

    In the far northwest Valley, a bright-blue-painted taqueria served some of the best tacos in town.

    August is a month of change for Phoenix restaurants. The end of the slow season is in sight and summer menus are coming to a close. Some spots celebrate last-of-the-season produce, while others lean into warming fall flavors and hearty plates. As the Phoenix New Times food team ate our way around the Valley, and a little further afield last month, we enjoyed a range of bites and sips. A stellar goat curry caught our attention. A sweet, buttery latte left us inspired. And a veggie sandwich made u

    The 5 most exciting new Phoenix restaurants that opened in August (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    August is a difficult time for Phoenix restaurants. Typically, we see more spots closing after a hard summer than welcoming their first customers. But some new spots have opened just ahead of the fall rush, giving themselves time to settle in before the season picks up, and rewarding locals with something to celebrate.
