One of my favorite restaurants in the Phoenix area is FEZ. It is located on Central Avenue half way between Thomas and Indian School.

FEZ serves traditional American fare but with a twist. Think of pizzas made on pita bread, salads with spiced pears, dried fruits and nuts mixed in, and burgers/sandwiches served on ciabatta bread with various types of soft cheeses. The food is fresh and different. I have yet to try something on the menu I did not like. They have sweet potato fries that are killer and desserts that make you wonder why you even ordered regular food.

Another thing that FEZ serves up well is ambiance. The decor is modern but comfortable. Subdued colors mesh well with the candle light and painted cement floors. The music is an interesting mix of techno and dance, but at a level that doesn’t distract from the conversations being had at the tables. FEZ is hip and cool without being pompous and pretentious.

If you’re in the area, pay this place a visit. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
