Laurel

A mainstay on “best of” lists, Laurel is one of the most sought-after reservations in the city. Top Chef winner Nicholas Elmi’s French restaurant is intimate, with only a 26-seat dining room. The service is impeccable and the food is divine.

 

The Dandelion

This British-style pub and restaurant boasts cozy décor, perfect for an intimate evening. Make sure to ask for seating near the fireplace for a romantic winter date night.

 

Parc

Located across from the chic Rittenhouse Square, Parc serves bistro fare in a Parisian-inspired dining room. Cozy up to your loved one while sharing a bottle from the impressive wine list.

 

Pub & Kitchen

For the burger-loving couple, grab a bite at Pub & Kitchen. The neighborhood tavern’s menu changes frequently but always includes classics and great cocktails. Perfect for night owls, the kitchen is open until 1 a.m.

 

Ralph’s

The oldest Italian restaurant in the United States, Ralph’s is tucked away in the Italian Market neighborhood. Enjoy traditional Italian dishes in the charming dining room.
