É isso que acontece quando um comediante de stand-up entra em uma lanchonete de bairro…. Do Claude’s combina dois conceitos em um só, com um bar descontraído de um lado e um clube de comédia com ingressos do outro. 

Claude’s menu is light and fun, calling to mind church bingo nights. Try the Gaucho Hot Dog (basil chimichurri, truffle aioli) or a classic grilled cheese sandwich … and save room for the Tastykake Flight, with whipped cream and jimmies. 

Não perca: The brand new pool table. Do your best Tom Cruise or Paul Newman impression while cracking the eight-ball. 

Owner Evan Fong Jaroff traded a career in finance for a one-of-a-kind sandwich counter specializing in Chinese-Cuban mashups. Wait, what? 

Following a successful two-year run manning pop-up cafes, Chibanos is now a permanent brick-and-mortar spot in Washington Square West. Experience it for yourself with sandwiches like  the Chickibano, filled with slow-cooked chicken, then topped with Chinese broccoli and onions — all on a savory garlic mayo spread.

The husband-wife team of Leo Wei and Haley He are banking on “little treat culture” to sweep over the Main Line. Half A While offers cold-brewed teas and exotic-sounding pastries in the former Kung Fu Tea space.

Chef-owner Tony Krupa is bringing white tablecloths back at this authentically old-school BYOB joint in Old City.

Do chef Christopher Kearse lounge descontraído (in the former Varga Bar space) draws heavy inspiration from his train rides through the European countryside, with floral wallpaper and marble-topped tables shaping the 40-seat cocktail bar. 

Expect a perfectly compact menu of elevated bar fare, including cool ranch peas and hamachi toasts, plus a soon-to-be viral dipped au poivre burger (caramelized onions, comté cheese, peppercorn sauce). Known Associates is an eclectic neighborhood bistro, one meant to feel different every time you walk through the door. 

Saiba antes de ir: Christopher Kearse’s pioneering first spot, Forsythia, is a Michelin-recognized restaurant. 

Lillian’s Bar — Point Breeze’s cozy new cocktail bar — leans into Mediterranean bistro fare (including tinned fish!) while hosting chef pop-ups on a rotating basis, including Clube de Jantar do Habibi and Chef Miled Finianos. 

Lillian’s Bar is named in honor of owner Sam Ahern’s great-great-grandmother who ran a speakeasy in her basement, earning her the nickname Diamond Lil.

Following sold-out residencies at area farmers’ markets (up to two-hour waits!), Temple grad Saif Manna opened a retail space for easier access to Basque cheesecake, manakeesh (flatbreads), sumac-spiced chicken buns and other Palestinian/Levantine delights.

The recipes here are heartfelt and deeply rooted, with Manna citing childhood trips to Jordan to watch both of his grandmothers lay their hands in the dough. Each recipe is a family heirloom. Each pastry bakes in authenticity. 

Saiba antes de ir: The bakery continues to pop-up at farmer’s markets across the city, including Headhouse, Rittenhouse and Clark Park. 

Lamb ribs and charbroiled oysters steal the show at this new bar and restaurant (plus hookah lounge, with bottle service) on Lancaster Avenue in Oeste Philly. Also, ask your server about the Chef’s Selection, a rotating du jour dessert option.

O conceito de batata pop-up da chef Ange Branca inaugura uma nova era em Rua Sul.

Experimente o Philly Spud (cheesesteak e molho de pimenta) e acompanhe-o com um Shirley Temple feito na casa ou um chá gelado da Malásia. 

Vibração: Taters gonna tate.

Leaning into Asian-inspired flavors, the husband-wife team of Jack Chen and Xiaoyu Ma são packing natural fruit (think: less sugar) into their sorbets and gelatos, alongside espresso and specialty coffees. 

Look for decadent flavors like creamy coconut sorbet, cheesecake crumble gelato, cookies and salted caramel, plus real matcha, all sifted fine and whisked until the lumps are gone. 

Vibração: Flower power. No, seriously, Moment sometimes sells fresh-cut flowers, like roses, snapdragons and gerbera. 

Você sabia que Thomas Edison projetou a iluminação original do O Bellevue? Now you do. Sr. Edison plays into the inventor’s ingenuity, wrapping that can-do spirit into a 1940s-feeling supper club. Diners can find swanky tributes to Philly’s dynamic culinary scene everywhere, like crab galette — an ode to the former Le Bec-Fin.

Este é um cena, and you’ll want to be seen. A shimmering 12-foot Ferris wheel stocks wine and liquor bottles behind the bar, with a strict “upscale fashionable” dress code enforced. Plus, the lounge area offers live jazz music almost nightly.

Isso grill-it-yourself Japanese barbecue joint, which features 60 burner-top tables, specializes in only the choicest steak cuts with a tiered experience at fixed prices.

Não perca: Wagyu beef tongue — thick cut. You can thank us later. 

Oroshi — the name translates to grated in Japanese — brings affordable sushi to town without skimping on quality or elegance. Omakase dinners start at $68 (15 courses) and $48 for lunch (10 courses), affectionately known as “zoomakase.”

Chefs Leo Liu and Ming Lee highlight choice cuts of meat and fish (see: wagyu hand rolls and otoro with uni and caviar) while maintaining a minimal aesthetic in the dining room. Approachable is the name of the game here. 

Saiba antes de ir: Oroshi remains BYOB, so bring your favorite sake.

Saiba antes de ir: Taverna do Merrick opened earlier this year in the lobby.

Born on the block — an ode to owner Dean Owens’ city pride — Really Ice delivers on Philly’s food triumvirate of water ice, ice cream and pretzels. Start with blueberry, churned smooth and scooped cold and — yes, these instructions are printed for all to see — sprinkles aren’t optional here. They are the point. 

Really Ice’s swag matches their swagger. Look for iced-dot shirts and heavyweight hoodies emblazoned with the shop’s funky raspberry mascot. 

Vibração: All the major Philly food groups tried out for the same reality show 

What if someone held a contest asking Philly residents to send in generations-old family recipes, then invited those home chefs in and opened a new restaurant? This is Receita Philly, a reality show and cooking contest that also takes reservations! 

With a 175-seat dining room and home-cooked recipes from 60 competitors, Recipe Philly takes restaurant dining to a grand scale. Owner Ed Baumstein wishes to honor Philly’s can-do spirit which he manifests as “Heirloom Hospitality” — memory, tradition, connection passed down from one generation to the next. 

Vibração: As if the producers of Picado opened up a restaurant 

This latest project from Jose Garces alum Tim Spinner evokes summer trips to the Jersey Shore, with a working jukebox in a beach shack bar. This is elevated boardwalk food that doesn’t apologize for keeping the fryers on. 

Look for a refreshing lineup of beach-inspired vodka crushes — we personally recommend the Watermelon Tavern Crush — and dirty sodas for the sober-curious, served alongside crispy cod sandos, cheesy crab dip and fried zucchini bites.

Vibração: You’re on the set of Baywatch. 

Isso breakfast-and-lunch cafe already has lines out the door, enticing people to try the city’s newest viral sandwich: a crispy potato latke on a slow-baked egg — opt to add schmaltz (rendered chicken fat that adds a rich and savory flavor).

Bom para: Fans of the owner’s first restaurant, Germantown’s A King’s Cafe. 

The Monto is the newest collaboration from industry veterans Fergus Carey and Jim McNamara. Housed inside the former Mac’s Tavern space in Old City, this Irish pub has quickly become a go-to watering hole for watching the English Premier League while quaffing a proper pint of Guinness. 

The Monto cheekily draws its name from a popular Dubliners song from the 1960s. The lyrics — take her up to Monto, lan-ge-roo — set the mood, but the Saúde vibe keeps the regulars coming back for more. 

Owners are leaning hard into The Pogues for inspiration, too, inviting folk musicians, harp players and Irish brogues of all sorts to sing into the wee hours. Food? The menu’s still in progress, but expect to see playful nods to Irish pub fare in the near future.
