René at Tlaquepaque

René at Tlaquepaque stands as Sedona's premier French Mediterranean fine dining destination, nestled within the enchanting courtyards of the Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village. Under the masterful direction of award-winning Chef Mercer Mohr, the restaurant delivers an exceptional culinary experience that blends classic French techniques with contemporary elegance. Guests indulge in exquisite offerings ranging from luxurious caviar and pristine seafood to perfectly prepared steaks and seasonally inspired dishes that change with Arizona's bounty. The restaurant has earned the distinguished title of Sedona's Most Romantic Restaurant, making it the ideal choice for intimate celebrations, anniversaries, proposals, and unforgettable date nights. René distinguishes itself through its commitment to refined dining, using avocado oil instead of seed oils—offering a cleaner, more health-conscious approach to fine cuisine. The ambiance combines timeless European charm with warm Sedona hospitality, featuring dog-friendly patios and creekside views that enhance the dining experience. Signature experiences include Tomahawk Tuesday, a $150 shareable steak experience perfect for couples, and Wednesday's Summer Prix-Fixe at $80 per person featuring three-course menus with options like USDA Prime Ribeye and Salmon en Papillote. The restaurant also offers private dining rooms for special events and celebrations, part of the distinguished Mercer's Kitchen Restaurant Group.
