TALAVERA - A TASTE OF ART

Living in Scottsdale means having access to some of the finest dining in the Southwest—and Talavera, the signature restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North, is a shining example of why. Nestled high in the Sonoran Desert, this refined Spanish steakhouse offers not only a top-tier culinary experience but also one of the most stunning desert views you’ll find in the Valley. Whether you’re entertaining guests, planning a romantic night out, or simply want to treat yourself to something extraordinary, Talavera delivers on every level.

A Modern Take on Iberian Tradition

Talavera redefines the concept of a steakhouse by fusing classic Iberian flavors with a modern twist. Under the skilled direction of Chef de Cuisine Emmanuel Urban, the menu pays homage to Spain’s rich culinary traditions while incorporating seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Signature dishes include the exquisite Paella Talavera, loaded with chicken, chorizo, Iberico pork belly, lobster, shrimp, mussels, and clams—a true celebration of land and sea in one dish. Another standout is the Grilled Spanish Octopus, perfectly tender and served with cipollini agrodolce and a bold mojo picón that adds just the right amount of heat.

The Gin Bar: A Unique Experience

If you’re a cocktail enthusiast, you’ll be delighted by Talavera’s dedicated Gin Bar, which offers a curated selection of gins and artisan tonics, paired with a variety of botanicals and fresh garnishes. Whether you're a gin purist or new to the category, the mixologists here will guide you to the perfect sip. I highly recommend trying their Passion Fruit & Pineapple Gin Tonic, which is refreshingly tropical yet balanced—an ideal complement to a desert evening.

Ambiance That Captures the Spirit of the Southwest

What truly sets Talavera apart is the ambiance. The restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive outdoor terrace overlook Pinnacle Peak and the high Sonoran Desert, offering a dramatic backdrop that changes with the setting sun. Inside, the design is warm and sophisticated, with wood accents and earth-toned textures that mirror the natural beauty just outside. Whether you're dining indoors or al fresco, the atmosphere feels upscale without being pretentious—welcoming yet luxurious.

Perfect for Locals and Visitors Alike

Talavera is open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and trust me—reservations are a must. The service is impeccable, as you’d expect from a Four Seasons property, and the experience is tailored to make every guest feel special. For locals, this spot makes for an excellent “staycation” night out. For those new to the area or visiting, Talavera is a beautiful introduction to the elevated lifestyle that makes Scottsdale such a desirable place to live.
