Amada, Chifa launch Saturday lunch hours

The "Catalan Express" lunch at Amada (217-219 Chestnut St., 215-625-2450) is probably the sweetest deal you'll find at any of Jose Garces' restaurants � every weekday, you can get soup and your choice of a salad or sandwich for $14.50. (Used to be $12 but y'all know how it is.) Though the Old City spot's new Saturday lunch menu (check it out after the jump) doesn't feature that thrifty option � it's simply a truncated version of the extensive dinner spread � it's reassuring to know that you'll now be able to snag some albondigas, piquillos rellenos or chorizo pamplona while your out-of-town relatives drag your jaded ass around to historical sights. Saturday lunch hours are 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Garces' Chifa (707 Chestnut St., 215-925-5555), too, is introducing Saturday lunch, but over there they've decided to offer their "Hiram Bingham Express" (same idea as the Catalan, except $3.50 more expensive) as an option.
