Gay-friendly: Restaurants and Dining
One of the great restaurant cities
You’ll find century-old Italian restaurants serving Old World ambience and authentic recipes. Top grade steak and seafood houses feature fresh cuts and tastes. Intimate BYOBs and sidewalk cafes continue to pop up. Cuban, Spanish and South American flavors are plentiful throughout the city.
With so many ethnic and international options available, Philadelphia represents a global infusion of cuisine. Chinese, Moroccan, Japanese, Indian, Irish, Thai and French are just the tip of the iceberg. Delicious regional American and Philadelphia-style cuisine is also plentiful.
But the food is only part of the region’s dining experiences. Have dinner in architecturally significant buildings, historic rowhomes or country inns. Enjoy a meal at a sidewalk cafe or overlooking the waterfront. Dine amidst creative and innovative decor that is as tantalizing as the main course. From Colonial taverns to conveyor belt sushi bars, Philadelphia’s dining offers something to please every palate.
