Travel + Leisure names nine of Philly's best bets
Bistros, pubs and hoagies: a best of Philly restaurant guide from Travel + Leisure magazine.
Travel + Leisure names nine of Philly's best bets
Travel + Leisure magazine's November issue is has a line up of nine Philly restaurants not to be missed. Francine Maroukian chimes in with smart commentary about our fair dining scene, siting the fact that Philadelphia is not a place where out of town chains thrive, instead we're more partial to our own in-town empires. Here's a look at the best of the best according to T+L:
The Farm & Fisherman (1120 Pine St.) This Pine Street corner got called out for Josh and Collen Lawler's witty take on modern American farm fare.
Koo Zee Doo (614 N. Second St.) Husband-and-wife team David Gilberg and Carla Gonçalves turn out Portuguese plates from the tiny kitchen of this No Libs BYO.
Bistrot La Minette Peter Woolsey's straight out of Paris bistro earned points for authenticity was well as expertly poured Kirs. 623 S. Sixth St.; bistrotlaminette.com
Zahav (237 Saint James Place) Nutty hummus and smokey eggplant are the New Isreali menu items that have T+L swooning over Michael Solomonov.
Paesano's Philly Style (1017 S. Ninth St.) Peter McAndrews earns props for his reimagined hoagies that trump touristy cheesesteaks any day of the week.
Garces Trading Company (1111 Locust St.) Jose Garces' market-wine shop-restaurant is keeping up with Philadelphia's sandwich legacy with the cubano clásico.
Kennett (848 S. Second St.) A repurposed dining room and innovative country cooking earn this Second Street hang a place on T + L's top ten.
Barbuzzo (110 S. 13th St.) Marcie Turney's new Mediterranean spot earns praise for pastas.
Dandelion (124 S. 18th St.) Starr's British accented gastropub gets a nod for stand up fish and chips.
Kind of a confusing headline? Are you saying none of the restaurants listed are best bets in Philly? Certainly, there are plenty they missed, but greatest hits albums always miss a few fan favorites. The list didn't seem WAY off the mark to me. Also, hate to go all grammar police, but I am assuming you meant citing, not "siting".— rascal b. schuylkillian
