Philadelphia restaurants to dine for
Yes, Philly’s known for its cheesesteaks, soft pretzels and water ice—all delicious, no doubt—but the dining scene is much more than its most famous treats. Think chef-driven concepts, cuisines from around the world, hyperlocal ingredients and bustling food halls. The Rittenhouse Square neighborhood around the hotel is one of the best culinary destinations in the city, filled with patios perfect for people-watching, fabulous happy hour specials and leisurely brunches. (Plus our very own Square 1682, notable for its modern American cuisine and outstanding bar program.)
Rouge
There’s a romantic feel to the bistro Rouge, a longtime staple in Rittenhouse Square that has some of the most coveted sidewalk seating in the city.
Village Whiskey
Village Whiskey features ample options of its namesake spirit (more than 200, in fact), along with great burgers and other American fare.
Federal Donuts
FedNuts offers two kinds of donuts: Hot Fresh (straight out of the fryer and tossed in sugar) and Fancy (inventive rotating flavors), plus twice-fried chicken.
Huda
For lunch, grab a sandwich at Huda, where ingredients like swordfish, maitake mushrooms and brisket are nestled in between house-made milk buns.
Parc
From beloved Philadelphia restaurateur Stephen Starr, this French bistro would be at home on a rue in Paris, with its classic dishes and chic atmosphere.
The Dandelion
Sip an ale by the fire, take afternoon tea in the Victorian dining room, or sit down to a dinner of shepherd’s pie at this cozy British pub.
