Looking For Healthy, Allergy Friendly, And Organic Restaurants In The Scottsdale, Arizona Area?

As a former longtime resident of Scottsdale, Arizona (I lived here 12+ years) and a clean, organic eater for 9+ years now, I’ve eaten at loads of restaurants around here and found the largest amount of healthy restaurant options in this city (compared to other US cities).

🅾️ 11 Organic Restaurants In Scottsdale, Arizona

Outside of California, I’ve found more organic restaurants to eat at in Scottsdale, Arizona than any other city in the United States. Some are a bit more expensive, but it’s worth it knowing you’re getting healthy, non-toxic food.

1. Sapiens Paleo Kitchen

Sapiens is one of my favorite places to eat healthy in Arizona.

Sapiens Paleo Kitchen is one of my favorite organic restaurants in North Scottsdale (I still consistently crave that burger pictured above), and they’re 100% paleo, gluten free, dairy free (aside from grass-fed butter), peanut free, and nut free, plus they only use olive oil and grass-fed butter.

  • Where: Google Maps
  • Type Of Food: Paleo French
  • Price: $$-$$$

2. Tocaya Modern Mexican

Tocaya actually originates in California, but its still one of the best healthy Mexican food places to eat.

Tocaya actually started in California (their burritos are the perfect post surfing meal 😋), but they’ve moved over into Arizona too. I love Tocaya because they offer health conscious and organic food (never containing hormones, steroids, or antibiotics) for the traditional Mexican cuisine (my favorite).

They have everything from salads and tacos (pictured above) to soups and quesadillas, and even a gluten free burrito. Visit Monday through Friday for happy hour or Taco Tuesdays.

3. Pita Jungle

Pita Jungle has locations all over the Scottsdale area, and it's one of my top choices for organic restaurants.

Pita Jungle isn’t strictly organic, but they have some organic items on the menu and the best cilantro jalapeño hummus. They also have gluten free gyros (pictured above) among other traditional mediterranean dishes, and while they do use olive oil, they also use a 50/50 sunflower and canola mix.

  • Where: Google Maps
  • Type Of Food: Mediterranean
  • Price: $$

4. True Food Kitchen

True Food has locations all over the country, but its still one of the best healthy places to eat.

True Food isn’t specific to Scottsdale (they’re all over the US), but they’re still one of the best organic restaurants here (also great for those with allergies), and they’ve even gotten rid of all seed oils! They’ve got two restaurants in the Scottsdale area, but I love the Kierland one because it’s a cute and fun area.

  • Where: Google Maps
  • Type Of Food: Healthy, Seasonal
  • Price: $$-$$$

5. Brunch

Brunch is technically in Cave Creek, just north of Scottsdale, but there's not many healthy places to eat up there so I thought it would help to add it to the list.

Cave Creek is a unique place to visit just 30 minutes north of Scottsdale (it’s a Wild West style town), but there’s not many healthy or organic restaurants up here aside from the breakfast spot, Brunch, that does try to source local and organic ingredients.

6. Farm & Craft

Farm and Craft is one of the most popular Old Town Scottsdale restaurants.

Farm and Craft is a great spot for a healthy (and allergy friendly) breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the Old Town Scottsdale area with lots of options like salads, flatbreads, bowls, sandwiches, kombucha cocktails, and desserts.

  • Where: Google Maps
  • Type Of Food: Organic, Healthy, Sustainable
  • Price: $$

➡️ Local Tip: Some of the best restaurants in Scottsdale with a view (perfect for sunset viewing) are Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Sapiens Paleo Kitchen, J&G Steakhouse, Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse, El Encanto, and Pizzafarro’s

7. The Herb Box

The Herb Box is one of the most popular organic restaurants in Old Town Scottsdale.

The Herb Box is another one of the most popular restaurants in the Old Town Scottsdale area, close to the famous Camelback Mountain (one of the best outdoor activities in Scottsdale), offering organic and healthy food with menus for brunch, lunch, dinner, cocktails, and Happy Hour.

  • Where: Google Maps
  • Type Of Food: Organic Health Food
  • Price: $$

8. Tryst Cafe

Tryst Cafe is up in the Desert Ridge area of Scottsdale.

Tryst is a cute little cafe with organic and allergy friendly (gluten free, dairy free, and vegan) food options and a pretty large menu with breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Desert Ridge area of Scottsdale.

9. Kaleidoscope Juice Optima

This is one of the best restaurants to get organic juices and cafe snacks in the Scottsdale area.

Kaleidoscope is mostly an organic juice spot, but they also have popular food items, a gluten free bakery section, and other options for gluten free, dairy free, and vegan eaters.

  • Where: Google Maps
  • Type Of Food: Juice, Cafe
  • Price: $$

10. Picazzo’s Healthy Italian Kitchen

The special thing about this Italian restaurant is that they even have a location all the way up in Sedona.

Picazzo’s is a health focused Italian restaurant with locations all over the valley (even up in Sedona, the perfect day trip or stop on the way to the Grand Canyon). Their produce is 95% organic, their meat is without antibiotics, hormones or nitrates, the sunflower oil is non-GMO, and dressings and sauces are made with organic spices.

11. Flower Child

Flower Child is a chain restaurant but they serve healthier food.

Flower Child isn’t strictly organic (they’re supposedly careful about the clean 15), but it’s still one of the healthier restaurants in Scottsdale. They also have lots of allergy friendly options (gluten free, dairy free, soy free, peanut free, nut free, vegan) and they use grape seed, olive, and sesame oils.

➡️ Local Tip: Scottsdale/Phoenix, Arizona is most known for its Mexican and Californian influenced food, so don’t miss out on this tasty cuisine while visiting

🔁 Sum Up: Best Organic Restaurants In Scottsdale, Arizona

While visiting Scottsdale, Arizona, you’ll have more organic restaurants to choose from compared to most other US cities, and while any on this list are perfect for a healthier meal, some of my favorites are Sapiens, Tocaya, Pita Jungle, and True Food.
