AJ's Bistro Menu Selections
Chef Prepared Meals - soups, salads, entrees
When you experience the differences at AJ's Fine Foods, you'll see why we are more than a market. One difference is our team of Executive Bistro Chefs who create enticing international menus that include entrées, soups and salads. You can savor the flavors of cuisines from around the world right here in Arizona with a visit to AJ's Bistros. Enjoy our 5-Star Restaurant offerings on our patios or take them home, along with a fine wine or luscious dessert to complete your meal.
AJ's Chefs create delicious soups, offering you a new selection daily. Warm your soul with specialties such as butternut squash, hearty steak & potato, spicy tortilla, as well as traditional comforts such as chicken noodle, clam chowder, tortellini and baked potato.
In the summer, AJ's Chefs offer a variety of chilled soups for you to enjoy. Try our Spanish Gazpacho with a tomato base, vegetables and a bit of spice or the sweet & tart Berry soups that can be served as a dessert. Every day you can experience a new taste.
Savory Sandwiches and Salads are waiting for you at AJ's Bistros. Select from the 15 savory sandwiches on our menu or have us create one suited to your special taste.

Create your own salad with fresh selections from our salad bar or enjoy one or more of over 20 prepared salads. Our endless selection of fresh-made salads are perfect as sides to your sandwiches, salads or entrées, or hearty enough to be a meal by themselves. Just a few of our fabulous creations are: Strawberry Spinach, Classic Coleslaw, Broccoli Delight, Red Potato Bacon, Curried Chicken, 4 Bean, Black-Eyed Pea, English Pea, Cranberry Dill Tuna, Fresh Fruit, Very Berry, Antipasto, Caprese, and Pasta Salads such as Bowtie, Angel Hair and Garden.
Olive and Antipasto Bar
Enjoy AJ's vast selection of many hard-to-find imported olives from Greece, Italy, and France. Whether it is the Mt. Athos Olive from the Halkidiki peninsula of Greece, the Cerignolas Olive from the volcanic soil of Puglia in southern Italy, or the Picholine from the Provence, France, you'll find they make an excellent accompaniment to our International cheese selection.
Complement your olive selection with an antipasto plate. Our selection of antipasto ingredients includes roasted peppers, peppadews, sun-dried tomatoes, cornichons and marinated mushrooms, artichokes and buffalo Mozzarella.
Located near our Bistro, our olive and antipasto selection is available by the pound.
Pate and Caviar
Our paté is never frozen and is handcrafted by Les Trois Petits Cochons using authentic French recipes. We carry a variety of classic coarse Patés and the lighter mousse style. Not just a pork or chicken creation, we offer an ever-changing selection including Salmon, Mousse Truffé, Peppercorn, Spinach and seasonal flavors such as Foie Gras for the holidays.
Caviar is arguably the most decadent food in the world. This holiday season treat yourself and your guests to this wonderful extravagance. During the holiday season, AJ's carries several varieties of caviar including Salmon, Trout, Golden and Black Lumpfish. Throughout the year we'll gladly place an order for you. Please allow us 72 hours to procure your caviar.
See our catering catalog for our Signature Gourmet Paté Platter featuring a sensational trio of patés surrounding a center of Black Lumpfish caviar.
