Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Atsion Lake

"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."

"Great food, a lively atmosphere, and a warm welcome await you at Cucina Forte. Serving food traditional to the Abbruzzi Region of Italy (albeit with a few modern touches, including a very welcome gluten-free selection), it’s a great place for both special occasions and mid-week dinners alike. The food tends to the healthier end of the spectrum (expect plenty of fresh salads, seafood, and a lighter hand with the cream than you’ll find in certain other places), but the portions are generous enough to sate even the heartiest of appetites."

"Panorama is yet another fine Italian establishment that takes its wine pairings very seriously, and luckily it’s stocked with plenty of options to try -- 120 on tap and 150 bottles -- that won't leave you penniless. Stop by for wine flights of five carefully selected samples, but don’t forget to eat, too: Pasta dishes are available in half and full sizes (perfect if you simply can’t choose between the burrata-filled pasta or the lamb shoulder agrodolce), and the antipasti dishes are perfectly portioned for those wine samples."

"It features an incredibly extensive wine program with many wines on tap, as well as noteworthy and hard-to-find Italian bottles. The elegantly modern bar and restaurant invites guests to relax and sip wine while tasting an array of Italian delights, including antipasti offerings and entrées like fusilli pasta with lamb, chicken sautéed in mushrooms, and pesce (fish) of the day. Be sure to stop by for their happy hour—it's one of the best in town."

"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."

"Set in a quaint row house on Callowhill Street in the city's Fairmount section, Rose Tattoo is great for anyone who appreciates an eclectic menu. Choices such as house-made four cheese tortellini, pan-seared sea scallops, jambalaya and baby back ribs deliver a solid dining experience when combined with a salad, starter or especially one of their delicious desserts. Close to many other city venues, patrons can dine and then head out for other activities easily and conveniently."

"Bars Cocktail bars Rittenhouse. With reliable hours and a variety of reservation options for events (including a birthday-specific package), Vango is a standout rooftop lounge option near Rittenhouse Square. Drink options include a handful of mostly fruit-based cocktais ranging from $10 to $14, domestic and imported beers and a trio of sake bottles for $20 each."

"Spacious and vibrant lounge and nightclub, located just a block of Rittenhouse Square. The large, darkish and stylish indoor lounge is complemented by a lovely rooftop terrace, which is Vango's absolute best feature. Up on the rooftop you find king-sized day beds, infrared heaters and a really cool upwards-view among the city's sky scrapers."
