Old Town Scottsdale just got its newest glow-up as with the debut of Estelle — a breezy, two-story Mediterranean beach house dropped right into the middle of Saddlebag Trail. With coastal textures, open-air views and a rooftop built for golden hour, the new concept from Jocque Concepts arrives ready to claim its spot as the season’s go-to hangout.
The vibe is Europe-by-way-of-Scottsdale: soft tones, sun-drenched spaces and a design that swings from daytime ease to late-night spark. Chef Hector Cruz anchors the menu with bright, coastal flavors — think ahi tostadas, whipped-feta Brussels sprouts, birria grilled cheese and campanelle alla vodka crowned with burrata. Pizzas stay playful, while desserts lean citrusy and cool.
The cocktail lineup keeps the beach energy flowing: the mango-and-bell-pepper Sunseeker, the pear-mint Huguette Spritz, the raspberry-sorbet French Exit and a feta-stuffed Dirty Olive Oil Martini built for the adventurous. Golden Hour and Lunar Hour add $12 cocktails and shareables for anyone easing into — or refusing to end — the night.
For locals, Estelle arrives as a fresh, sunlit escape in the heart of Old Town, ready for long lunches, rooftop lounging and Scottsdale’s perpetual summer spirit.
