Fork
A stylish New American bistro and Old City anchor
Description
Ellen Yin’s elegantly casual New American bistro helped pave the way for Old City’s revival in the mid-1990s. And ever since, its consistent output of finely crafted and inventive cuisine has made it a neighborhood classic.
Reflective of its use of fresh, local ingredients, Fork’s menu changes daily to emphasize the flavors of the season. The Best of Philly™ -winning menu references influences from around the world, but the overall theme is decidedly its own. The restaurant’s hip, stylish and sophisticated interior complements the contemporary menu and makes it a great spot for a business lunch, dinner with friends or a romantic dessert with cocktails.
Between lunch and dinner, Fork offers patrons seated at the bar a special, small-plates menu. There’s also a delicious late-night menu, perfect for the seemingly endless throngs of people who converge on Old City after dark.
