Philadelphia has a booming food scene.
From nationally recognized restaurants with award-winning chefs to local favorites, there’s something to excite every palate.
Philadelphia’s food scene continues to receive high honors, with Thai restaurant Kalaya being named as Esquire’s Best New Restaurant in 2020 and local chef Omar Tate and his pop-up, Honeysuckle, receiving the publication’s Chef of the Year and Pop-Up of the Year honors, respectively. Additional acclaim comes by way of Condé Nast Traveler, who has included Laser Wolf — an Israeli grill from the team behind the acclaimed Zahav — on their 2021 Hot List, naming the eatery as one of the best new restaurants in the world.
Our beloved Reading Terminal Market — one of the largest and oldest public markets in the U.S. — was just voted the best public market in the nation in 2021 by USA Today’s 10Best. Adjacent to the Pennsylvania Convention Center and with more than 80 independent merchants under one roof, including 26 restaurants, the market is a must-see for foodies looking to sample a taste of Philadelphia, including our renowned cheesesteaks!
NOTE: Effective January 3, 2022, proof of full COVID-19 vaccination will be required to enter any Philadelphia establishment that serves food or drink for onsite consumption, such as indoor restaurant spaces, bars, catering halls and conventions (if food is being served). Learn more.
