I’ve lived in Philadelphia since 2011 and in my time here, I’ve had a chance to explore all the best restaurants first hand! Living in South Philly now, there are some gems of restaurants that I am excited to share with you.
Checking out Philly for a short stay or live here permanently? Either way, you'll have to eat! Here are some amazing recommendations for your daily travels.
This is one of my favorite places of all times to eat Vietnamese food. Try to BBQ chicken or the bun bò huế soup for a taste you won't forget. Don't forget to order your Vietnamese coffee as a pick me up for your day. 😊😊
Settle in to one of the top food choices on Passyunk Avenue for remarkable Italian cuisine and a delightful variety of cocktails and spirits. You won't go wrong ordering the pasta dishes and the artichoke appetizer is out of this world (coming from an Italian girl who never sees this on menus). When you're in the S. Philly area, give this spot a try!
I go here for the Tortilla Soup and the Tempura Shrimp Tacos. The nachos is another amazing go to made with really expensive cheese. Legit, their menu says that. 😂 None the less, this is a place I get incomparable cravings for when I have a taste for their soup. No one does it like Pistolas.
Looking for a Spanish dish? You cannot go wrong by trying Barcelona. Serving some of the best Paella in Philadelphia, and with a variety of cocktails and wine's to pair with your meal, you will be sure to have a great time eating, drinking and staying merry!
Let me just tell you, I am not one for Southern Comfort food typically. I even wen to visit my sister down south and had trouble finding anything remotely healthy or at least, that I felt comfortable eating without feeling sick. None the less, eating at Flannel is the perfect mix of Southern Comfort without feeling like you are eating loads of unhealthy food. It does tend to be a super popular restaurant, so be prepared to wait if you are coming for brunch, lunch or dinner.
