St. Franciscolor:black"">

A celebration of sustenance may best describe Chef Aaron Chamberlin’s restaurant, St. Francis. Located in a historic building on
Camelback Road, just east of Central in uptown Phoenix, the family-owned,
family-built and family-run restaurant welcomes patrons to a neighborhood
gathering place. The repurposed space was transformed with a comfortably modern
and rustic sensibility that echoes the honest, spontaneous “wood fired cuisine.
St. Francis is for everyday nourishment for families, couples and even for
special occasions. It’s for connecting with the community and sharing the
simple pleasure of simple, honest and good food. The name “St. Francis” was
derived from the neighborhood land deed that dates back to 1936. It was
originally owned by the Brophy family. In addition, the name “St Francis” is
Spanish for San Francisco, a city that figured largely in Chef Chamberlin’s
background.
