Rene at Tlaquepaque

Sedona


Specializing in French cuisine with Southwestern touches, Rene does meat best (lamb is a specialty), but even lunches go well beyond the ­sandwich/burger/salad routine with such selections as scallops with cilantro pesto or a BLT with a side of tomato bisque. Rene is a sentimental favorite, and the patio is an inviting spot for respite after a morning of shopping.
