Audrey Claire


Open-air cafe
276 S 20th St
Philadelphia, PA 19103
United States
+1 215 731 1222
A small open-air French café in downtown Philadelphia? Yes. Good luck getting a seat. The menu is generally Mediterranean: hummus, olives, several choices for meat and fish, and a long list of focaccia variations. The decor is minimalist: bare white walls, stainless steel ducts, and cool green window frames. The windows are the dominant feature here. In summer, they're wide open, and a cool breeze carries the flavors from one small table to the next. Sitting here is so pleasant, it's a great place for people-watching.

Authentic imported ingredients are used and are available to take home in the marketplace first and restaurant second establishment. Simple sidewalk tables and a few tables inside provide for a casual lunch. Many customers get their selections for take out.

A trip to Turkey might be a stretch on your wallet and imagination; however getting to its cuisine certainly isn't.

Excellent neighborhood spot

+1 215 985 3680
Located in the quaint Pine Street neighborhood on the Western edge of Center City, this restaurant offers excellent Greek Seafood dining and a full bar.

Dmitri's


Great, Greek, cozy, creative
795 S 3rd St
Philadelphia, PA 19147
United States
+1 215 625 0556
Always loud and packed, Dmitri's is known as best place to dine on Greek and Mediterranean cuisine in Philadelphia. Lamb, veal, whole fish and octopus can be seen being prepared on the grill. Greek staples like souvlaki and monster gyros are served along with a host of other olive oil-immersed dishes. Seating only 25 people, the noise level can get near deafening. Reservations are not accepted so be prepared to wait in line. You can have a drink in the cafe across the street, and the hostess from Dmitri's will come and find you when your table is ready.

Fork Restaurant


Gets to the Point
306 Market St
Philadelphia, PA 19106
United States
+1 215 625 9425
http://www.forkrestaurant.com/
It has been said that the owner consulted a Feng Shui expert when designing the harmoniously arranged interior of this restaurant. In the belief that superior food must be balanced by not only quality service but an equally balanced environment, there is an intriguing, moody, film-noir quality to the space. The menu has a way of appealing to the senses in a sort of subliminal way, combining an otherwise common ingredient with a surprising twist. See website for full menus and more. Note the extensive lists of both wine and imported and microbrewed beers.
