Chandler's Local Bites

One of the best parts of travel is vacation dining - finding those unique gathering places at the heart of the community. Filled with iconic eats, awesome ethnic restaurants and local breweries, Chandler's thriving culinary scene is one to savor.

"Hip-storic" Downtown Chandler offers a plethora of local eateries offering a great mix of modern and traditional dining. Visitors and locals alike are drawn to the casual yet trendy vibe of downtown that is sure to please the most discerning palate. A quick lunch with a friend may entice you to discover conveyor belt sushi or noshing the afternoon away at the casual cheese bar and kitchen. Whereas a night on the town with friends may bring you to Arizona's largest micro-brewery or to an upscale, trendsetting restaurant serving the best of New American cuisine. With more than 30 independently-owned and operated restaurants surrounding the historic square, you'll keep coming back for more.

North of the downtown square, Uptown Chandler is an eclectic neighborhood filled with a casual and welcoming atmosphere. Home to a number of entrepreneurs and established companies, it's no surprise that a number of ethnic restaurants call Uptown Chandler home. Dining options include lively Korean-style BBQ, Neapolitan-style pizza, hand-pulled noodles and Taiwanese-style shaved ice. Enjoy the global flavors that define Uptown Chandler.
