It’s the week of decadence.
Even on a tight budget, Center City Restaurant Week is a chance for your palate to venture off and try reduced fare in the heart of the city.
Dozens of restaurants are serving up pre-fixed meals: three-course lunches at $20 and three-course dinners at $35. But for those wise with their wallets and their stomachs, a number of spots on the ample list of participating restaurants include a fourth course.
Among the top restaurants Thrillist praised for Restaurant Week, eateries that emphasize both quality and quantity include Abe Fisher, Zama and Harp & Crown. Plenty of other restaurants, cooking up diverse cuisines, are also providing scrumptious, extended menus.
Making sure you have the most satisfying of Restaurant Weeks, Philadelphia Weekly has compiled a sampling of hidden gems that are ready to have you leave the table full.
