$$$$ • Cafetería • Centro de Phoenix
Matilda's is an all-day cafe in a restored 1914 bungalow in Phoenix's Roosevelt Historic District. By day it's coffee, breakfast and counter-service lunch. Wednesday through Saturday nights the house turns into a neighborhood dinner spot... table service, a seasonal menu built around house-made pasta from Sonoran Pasta, slow-braised pork, cafe chicken, bistro steak, and a full bar of cocktails, wine and beer. Executive chef Matthew Celaya makes nearly everything in house, from the Calabrian chili spread to the cured bacon. Dine in the North Room, the South Room's window seats, the lounge, the bar, or on the front porch and back patio (dogs welcome outside). Free street parking, ADA ramp on the north side, kids' options and high chairs available. Cashless, all major cards accepted. Reservations are for dinner; daytime is first come, first served.
