Wild Garlic Grill

At the heart of the vibrant Tucson gastronomic scene is a quaint, family owned restaurant that has made a name for itself by combining the classical French education of Executive Chef Steven Schultz with the flavors of traditional southwest cuisine. Driven by the vision of casual fine dining that he shares with wife and owner Maudi Gourdin, the pair have managed to make The Wild Garlic Grill one of Tucson’s premiere destinations for food lovers from all walks of life. That all too familiar aroma of garlic will titillate your senses from the moment you step through the front door, followed instantly by the pageantry of Chef and his crew hard at work in the open kitchen where you can watch your meal as it is prepared. One can sense the warmth that emanates from their comradery and dedication and it doesn’t take long to notice that the front of house staff shares the same passion. It’s almost as if they are one big happy family…

“Food is family,” Ms. Gourdin states frankly while we enjoy a glass of wine at the cozy bar. “The cuisine is the cornerstone of what we do here but the atmosphere that we’ve cultivated for our guests is just as important. Our employees, as well as our guests, come from all walks of life and we love to embrace that. We want our guests to feel as if they are enjoying their meal from the comfort of their home.”
