Greg's Philly Restaurant Faves
Zahav
Zahav is the Israeli restaurant owned by genius Chef Michael Solomonov and is my favorite restaurant in the entire world!
Talula's Daily Secret Supper Club
Several of the top-ten meals of my life have been at Talula's Daily Secret Supper Club on historic Washington Square.
Estia
Estia is a magnificent Greek restaurant that, in addition to wonderful Greek staples, prepares the best fish in Philly.
I lived in Philadelphia in the early 1990's, then moved to Michigan, then San Diego. I moved back to Philadelphia in the late 1990's amid a renaissance in the city restaurant scene, which was being transformed by creative and inventive chefs who were creating culinary dynasties that were receiving international attention. I got a front-row seat to this renaissance through my sister Teresa, who for a while was the Restaurant Critic and Food Editor for Philadelphia magazine. As I sometimes got to accompany her and her husband on restaurant review dinners, I wept bitter tears when she quit that job. I sometimes refer to her as my "ex-sister"...
These are just my top three Philly restaurant faves...see all of my faves in the top menu.
