Additional Information
Talavera's menu focuses on locally and regionally sourced cuisine, emphasizing prime cuts of meat, poultry and game from boutique purveyors as well as a wide variety of seafood. Executive Chef Mel Mecinas seeks out fresh heirloom tomatoes and vegetables from local farms, olive oil sourced from a nearby mill, and Arizona-ranch raised meats to lend authenticity and sense of place. The central focal point of Talavera restaurant is a dramatic fire element framed by glass – positioned for both indoor and outdoor diners to enjoy – showcasing elevated Scottsdale city and desert vistas. Guests can take in sunset views while sipping a signature cocktail on Talavera restaurant's patio, or lingering with dessert and coffee under the stars.
