It's just the best French toast you've ever had."
"A post shared by Sabrina's Café (@sabrinascafe) onFeb 14, 2020 at 7:24am PST. A brunch place so nice, you have to go twice (or way more than that). There’s locations all over the city and suburbs, but that doesn’t stop the lines from piling up outside Sabrina’s on the weekend."
"While the Northern Liberties location offers outdoor dining and is open from 8am to 8pm, the Center City spot is currently closed. Honey's Sit 'N Eat requires online reservations prior to arrival.

"We’re glad the team behind Vedge and V Street opened up a casual sandwich place as well to showcase even more of their culinary talents. While the menu might be small, the flavors are big. You won’t regret ordering their version of a Philly cheesesteak, which we found to be the least greasy of any of the other cheesesteaks we’ve tried."

"Even though Factory Donuts has great sandwiches, the donuts at this spot in Mayfair are the main attraction. All 24 signature choices and seven cream-filled options, like maple bacon, apple cider, or strawberry lemonade, are made fresh-to-order. There’s almost nothing better than a warm donut right out the fryer, especially if they’re as light and crispy as theirs."
"They’re easily the best donuts you can find in the Mayfair area. They also have locations in the Philadelphia suburbs, including Media, Newtown, Doylestown, and Turnersville, NJ. Factory Donuts’ special flavors include Maple Bacon Explosion, Chocolate Coconut Dream, and Vanilla Factory."
"I was excited to tried Factory Donuts because it was supposed to be made fresh and there are so many flavors so I was looking forward to it."
"RittenhouseWith a coveted spot overlooking Rittenhouse Square Park, Devon is a staple of not only seafood in Philly, but in the general upper-crust dining world. Devon is a true believer in the art of the fresh catch, so trust you will have some of the best-sourced seafood dishes in town. This is even better when paired with steak for a little surf n’ turf action, or you can try the mixed shellfish boil kit at home and feed up to six."
"Committed to serving the freshest fish, Devon does not disappoint. The upscale yet casual atmosphere of this restaurant makes it a nice place for a family diner or a date. On the menu, they have quality meals like shellfish cioppino, maple plank roasted salmon, lemon shrimp campanelle, and of course surf and turf."

One of three locations, the family-friendly restaurant features a deep blue ceiling, antiqued stucco whitewashed walls, hand-chiseled limestone floors, hand-woven rugs, rustic farm tables, dark wood chairs, and upholstered banquettes for intimate dining. An indoor courtyard with a living olive tree is perfect for romantic alfresco dining in the summer, where guests can tuck into authentic Greek fare such as grilled calamari or octopus, fresh salads and mezze like hummus and tzatziki, and fresh Mediterranean fish."
"1405-07 Locust St Estia is one of the best Greek restaurants in Philadelphia, and they take full advantage of the fresh, local seafood nearby. Anyone in the city would recommend ordering one of their whole fish dishes, but they’re especially famous for their Karavides, aka crayfish. If you’re looking for something even heartier, their swordfish souvlaki fits the bill."
