Philadelphia restaurants open on Christmas day
 |
Maybe you don't celebrate Jesus' birthday with a consumer extravaganza, maybe you don't want to cook a formulaic feast again this year, or maybe you just don't care.� Philly has a handful of restaurants, mostly in hotels, that are open Christmas day serving the full array of grub.
After the jump, check out the joints that will keep the stoves lit and the lights on this Friday.
BYOB
La Fontana Della Citta (1701 Spruce St., 215-875-9990); Moderately famous for veal and seafood dishes, this one is right in pretty, sparkly Rittenhouse, serving their full a la carte menu for dinner.
S&H Kebab House (611 E. Passyunk Ave, 215-639-3214);� Doner and chicken kebabs, Turkish veggie salad and babaganouj for peanuts.� Super casual for those who reject holiday requirements of putting on their big-boy pants.
Divan Turkish Kitchen (918 S. 22nd St., 215-545-5790); A fancier take on Middle Eastern cuisine, the full menu will be available on Christmas.
Novita Bistro (1608 South St., 215-545-4665);� Hey, did you know Morocco is part of the Mediterranean? Merguez, gnocchi and tagine all happily coexist here.
Fancyface Hotel Dining
Sole Food (Loew's Hotel, 1200 Market St., 215-231-7300); Seafood and complicated cocktails in a posh setting. Lovely lounge for secular merrymaking.
Fountain Restaurant (Four Seasons Hotel, 1 Logan Circle, 215-963-1500); One of Craig LaBan's precious few four-belled experiences in a setting right out of the golden age of Hollywood.� Both the Fountain and the Swann Lounge are serving groaning tables of brunch fare all Christmas day, $98 per person.� Last seatings are 6:30 (Swann) and 7 p.m. (Fountain).�
Lacroix (Rittenhouse Hotel, 210 W. Rittenhouse Square, 215-790-2533); The typically lavish Sunday brunch at Lacroix will be served all Christmas Day, $75 per person, until their last seating at 7 p.m.
Chez Colette (Sofitel, 120 S. 17th St., 215-569-8300); A Sunday brunch-styled buffet breakfast runs 8-11 a.m. for $21 per person; lunch and dinner menus will be available a la carte, or a $36 holiday prix-fixe menu including� Maine lobster bisque, Muscovy duck, French cheese plate and traditional Yule log dessert.
Palace at the Ben (Franklin House, 843 Chestnut St., 267-232-5600); Dine like a Raj with a luncheon buffet, $14.95 (vegetarian) or $16.95 (omnivore).� Dinner will be a la carte from the regular Indian and Pakistani menu.
Also
Derek's (4411 Main St., Manayunk, 215-483-9400); Manayunk's original mover-and-shaker chef, Derek Davis, will serve his Cal-Italian influenced new American menu as usual.� The vodka bar upstairs is waiting for you.
Chart House (555 S. Columbus Blvd., 215-625-8383);� The a la carte dinner menu will be served riverside all day, starting at 11 a.m. for the ambitious.
And do not forget pretty much every Chinese restaurant in the city is open, too!!!! MMMMM-good!!
The Valley Green Inn in Chestnut Hill is also open for brunch from 10-2.
Thanks, Justin & Emily! Who else is serving on the 25th?
Felicia, Varga Bar is having a party at 9, not sure if they are open before then though.
Not only Divan Turkish Kitchen is open on all holidays (365 days) It is also 30% off the entire menu between 12Noon and 5PM. It will be the usual 30% off deal like other days.
