Restaurants in South Rim

  1. El Tovar Dining Room

    Set a stone's throw away from the canyon's edge, it has the best views of any restaurant of the state, if not the country. If you don't get a table with a view - you can request it in advance but it won't be guaranteed - the grand stone and dark oak dining room warms the soul like an upscale lodge of yore, and the food, especially the steaks, makes the trip worthwhile.

  2. Arizona Room

    Striking a wonderful balance between casual and upscale, this restaurant is a solid option. Antler chandeliers hang from the ceiling and picture windows overlook the canyon. Mains include steak, chicken and fish dishes. No reservations; there's often a wait.

  3. Bright Angel Restaurant

    Families love this busy, down-home coffee shop for its casual vibe and kid-friendly menu. However, with no canyon views and only perfunctory service, it’s the least appealing of the rim’s three table-service restaurants.
