Top 10 Best Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA - Last Updated July 2021
"The sprawling dream garden behind Suraya, with its trickling fountain, mosaic-tiled pathways, and shady grove of Persian ironwoods, has become a premier oasis for outdoor dining. Once past the laser-gun temp check, take a seat in one of the secluded nooks with an arak cocktail and then dive family-style into a “Taste of Suraya” feast. Charcoal-kissed kebabs, stuffed grape leaves scattered with barberries, a parade of colorful mezze with still-puffing hot pita, baharat-scented lamb shoulder and crisp-skinned branzino."
"Suraya, a hopping, handsome Fishtown spot, has rapidly risen to the top of the hot-ticket brunch list thanks to its selections of intoxicating, egg-topped man’oushe (pizza-like Lebanese flatbreads) and stunningly delicious house-baked French pastries. Where:Suraya, 1528 Frankford Avenue"
"Lebanese restaurant Suraya is well-known for being one of the best places in the city for mezze, but it is also popular for its selection of French-inspired pastries. The lone donut on the menu is a true standout. The light, rose-flavored cruller is topped with crushed pistachios."
"The eatery features neon colored booths lit from within, wavy bamboo walls and ceilings, and funky little tables in the lounge that give the place a super stylish, modern atmosphere. You may recognize chef Morimoto from his Iron Chef days, or even from Nobu in NYC. The menu includes a number of entrees, including several dishes from Nobu, but for a truly unique Morimoto experience, you must order the Omakase."
"There are many solid sushi choices to choose from in this city and Morimoto is proof that Philly really does care about sushi. Located in Washington Square West, this upscale restaurant specializes in sushi bites that are meant to blow your taste palette away. The menu is prepared by Food Network star and Iron Chef, Masaharu Morimoto."
"Gracing the East Passayunk neighborhood is Le Virtu, a restaurant inspired by all of the best qualities of Abruzzo, Italy. From farm-fresh ingredients obtained from nearby Lancaster, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the way they serve their dishes to their great culinary traditions, it is a true dining experience. Dishes range "from sea to mountain" and combine traditional favorites with dishes that present ingredients in entirely new and exciting ways."
"After a feast of homemade charcuterie, fresh pastas, and hunky roasts, you'll probably want a light dessert. Opt for a cappuccino, maybe some amaro, and a stunning plate of homemade Italian cookies."
"13th St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the Asian fusion and Chinese spot four stars out of 1,566 reviews."
"Juno, a new Mexican bar on Spring Garden from the people behind Harper’s Garden and Rosy’s Taco Bar, has their whole operation outside - with tables that seat from two to ten people. And they’re serving cocktails by the wheelbarrow."
"Juno, a completely outdoor Mexican bar on Spring Garden from the people behind Harper’s Garden and Rosy’s Taco Bar, is serving everything from tacos and nachos to wheelbarrows full of cocktails."

"If you’re looking for vegetarian Sushi delivery, consider taking a look at Roe Ramen in Society Hill and To Kai Sushi in Bustleton."
"If you’ve missed the cut off for doughnuts and chicken, then check out Sweet Box Cupcake Truck – often found at Philadelphia’s Love Park. Flavors include Red Velvet, Chocolate Ganache, PB&J, Hot Cocoa and more. Sweet Box’s chocolate chip cookie dough cupcake is created with an achingly wonderful glop of cookie dough wedged in the center; with flavors like this, it’s hardly surprising that Sweet Box Cupcakes has developed an avid following in Philly."
"For cupcakes piled high with swirls of pillowy icing, check out Sweet Box, which is posting a new menu each morning to Instagram and Facebook. Treat yourself to a single cupcake, or place an order for four, six, or 12. All boxes can be customized to contain the flavors of your choice (think chocolate peanut butter and strawberries and champagne)."
"Sweet Box in Center City is known for “The Jawn,” which is a cookie dough bar layered with birthday cake and cake batter buttercream. It’s monstrous, insanely rich, and will probably put you in a sugar coma for a few hours. But if you have a friend celebrating a birthday in quarantine, it’s exactly what you should be sending them."
"For those in need of a late-night or early-morning sugar fix, Insomnia Cookies offers fresh-baked cookies in all sorts of varieties — chocolate chunk, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, sugar, snickerdoodle and many more mouthwatering flavors. Cravings can be satisfied at any of the eight storefronts across the city or by ordering delivery. Where:Insomnia Cookies, Various locations including 135 S."
