The Story Behind the Name
ZuZu is more than just a catchy name. It honors Rosalyn “Rosie” Bennett Lyon, known lovingly as “ZuZu,” the family matriarch behind Hotel Valley Ho. Rosie’s belief that food is best shared with loved ones shapes the restaurant’s entire approach. The welcoming atmosphere and carefully crafted menu reflect that same spirit, making every meal at ZuZu feel like a celebration. The restaurant’s connection to Scottsdale’s history adds a layer of local charm that blends perfectly with its modern culinary creativity.
