Chilte

Private Events at Chilte | Phoenix, AZ Located inside the Egyptian Motor Hotel on Phoenix's historic Grand Avenue, Chilte is an unexpected restaurant with a personality of its own. What started as a pop-up under a 10x10 tent has grown into one of the country's most recognized new restaurants, without losing the spirit that got us here. Along the way, we've earned Best New Restaurant recognition from Bon Appétit and Esquire, a place on Food & Wine's 2024 Best New Chefs list for Chef Lawrence "LT" Smith, and a 2025 James Beard Award semifinalist nomination for Emerging Chef. Our food is Contemporary Mexican at heart, influenced by the Southwest, and shaped by the people, places, and experiences that inspire us. Expect creative menus, bold flavors, thoughtful cocktails, and a style of hospitality that's warm, genuine, and never overly formal. Our space reflects that same approach. Eclectic, comfortable, and full of character, Chilte offers indoor dining, an outdoor patio, and options for full restaurant buyouts. We host everything from private dinners and cocktail receptions to corporate gatherings, culinary workshops, wine education, and celebrations of all kinds. We believe the best events start with good food and good company. Our team works with you to build an experience around your occasion, from customized menus and beverage offerings to the layout and details that bring it all together. Whether you're gathering colleagues, entertaining clients, celebrating a milestone, or simply bringing people together, Chilte offers something a little different from the traditional event space.
