10Best's Philadelphia Restaurants

Years ago, folks on the outside looking in viewed "innovative Philly cuisine" as little more than topping your steak sandwich with Swiss cheese instead of Cheese Whiz. Oh, how times do change! These days, Philadelphia's restaurant scene has emerged as one of the most dynamic on the East Coast – heck, the city's even crafted and perfected its own genre of restaurants. Characterized by coolly intimate confines and limited seating, most of Philadelphia's BYOB (bring-your-own-bottle) establishments earn high marks thanks to fantastic cookery of their young, innovative chefs. Stellar non-licensed eateries like Django and Pif charge no or minimal corkage fees, and this plays right into the average Philadelphian's sense of independence. Of course, the city boasts its fair share of fully licensed restaurants, as well, particularly in the Center and Old City areas.
