Restaurants in Philadelphia - Pennsylvania World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Philadelphia - Pennsylvania Travel Guide http://goo.gl/gB5fmj Stephen Starr is the undisputed restaurant king of Philly and the primary reason for Philadelphia's emergence as a serious dining capital. Starr has no less than 10 top eateries, and has set the benchmark for others to better . The Philadelphia's restaurants below have been grouped into three price categories: Expensive (over $75pp) Moderate ($25 -$50pp) Cheap (up to $25pp) These prices are for a three-course meal for one and the equivalent of a half-bottle of house wine. The sales tax of 7% is not included. Sometimes a gratuity (usually 15%) is added to the bill. If not, a tip of 15-20% for service is customary. Butcher & Singer Price: Expensive A Stephen Starr classic, this Rittenhouse Square steakhouse is a throwback to post prohibition Hollywood or New York, with art deco interiors, a 9m-high (28ft) ceiling, dark leather booths with red velvet couches and waiters with long, starched, white aprons. The generous raw bar and open plan kitchen is beautifully complemented by ice-cold martinis and soft jazz music. The fantastic prime steaks aside, food lovers will faint at the sight of the towering plateaus of fresh seafood. Address: 15th and Walnut Streets, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Lacroix at the Rittenhouse Price: Expensive The setting is lovely - a long, narrow dining room with earthy tones, minimalist décor and large windows that overlook Rittenhouse Square. Here chef Jean-Marie Lacroix dazzles diners with gamy selections and fish dishes on a creative bill of fare that allows you to mix and match from any part of the menu. 'Superb' best describes the food, service and the wine list that boasts a cast of 500. The restaurant is on the second floor of the very chic Rittenhouse Hotel. Address: 210 West Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States White Dog Café Price: Moderate Set in three adjacent Victorian brownstones, this progressive restaurant serves delectable fare that you can feel good about eating. The White Dog supports sustainable agriculture, with high-quality, farm-fresh ingredients, with local and seasonal ingredients used whenever possible. Not surprisingly, the menu changes frequently, with selections tending toward high-end comfort food. A recent menu featured the likes of crispy duck breast with rhubarb mostarda, creole crab cakes with rémoulade sauce, herb-roasted free-range chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and grass-fed beef burger on a homemade bun. Address: 3420 Sansom Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Fork Price: Moderate This fashionable establishment incorporates some theatrical design features (huge lampshades, high banquettes and open kitchen) but still manages a welcoming ambience. Located on the city's main street in the historic area, this American bistro-style restaurant serves up the freshest local produce possible. Creative cocktails such as Fork Cosmopolitan and the Fork Lift ( Absolut Currant with pomegranate juice) or one of the fine selections of wine by the glass are a good beginning. The menu changes frequently, but hanger steak, some sort of whole fish and tasty seafood are always in residence. Home-baked desserts are stellar. Address: 306 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Geno's Steaks Price: Cheap Although there will always be a line to negotiate, you still need to be prepared and ready to specify which kind of cheese you'd like (Provolone, American or Cheese Whiz). The service is so quick that by the time you have given your order, your money will be taken and your sandwich will be waiting at the window. You have been warned. Unlicensed and open 24 hours. Address: 1219 South 9th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Rangoon Price: Cheap Situated in the Chinese section just off Arch Street, a short walk from the Conference Center, the green facade of Rangoon is easy to spot. As the name suggests, Burmese specialities (spinach salad, chilli shrimp and thousand-layer bread with potato curry dip) predominate here. Owned and run by three Burmese women, this restaurant, with its simple interior, is a favourite with locals in search of exotic Asian food, such as beef mint kebab and curried fish cakes. Rangoon is on the low side of moderate, great value for authentic Burmese fare.
