Dining, Restaurants and Food in Philadelphia

A revolutionary evolution of eating

Those who think cheesesteak when thinking Philly food: Think again. Philadelphia — long known for American history, passionate sports fans and, yes, cheesesteaks — continues to emerge as one of the country’s finest culinary destinations.

More than a decade of development has transformed the region’s dining scene from merely memorable to absolutely abundant.

Throughout the city and beyond, four-star dining rooms coexist with unassuming, note-perfect neighborhood bistros; boisterous upscale taprooms counterbalance romantic foodie hideaways; and family-operated Bring-Your-Own-Bottle (BYOB) establishments share the sidewalk with high-profile restaurants owned by star restaurateurs.

Explore this section to find a restaurant (or a few) for your next visit.

For the menus of more than 50 top area restaurants, visit www.philadelphiacuisine.com.
