Dining in downtown Philly

Visiting Philadelphia with your charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coaches or school bus chartered from Charter Bus Philadelphia, you may be surprised to learn that Philadelphia has some internationally acclaimed restaurants. In spite of its reputation as a working man’s town, Philly’s restaurants are amongst some of the best in the nation.
Blackfish, by Chip Roman, is a new addition to the Philadelphia dining scene. It is sophisticated without being pretentious, and the service hits the balance between being too casual or overly snobbish. Try the foie gras terrine with sour cherry, pistachio and toasted brioche. Another must have is the lobster with five spice powder and pomegranate seeds. Tuesday nights offer a prix fixed menu that concentrates on one ingredient for $45.
Take your charter bus down to Bibou for some french fine dining. The food is so authentic, you will actually hear French being spoken at half the tables around you. Pierre Calmel puts his heart into his cooking. The veal sweetbreads are a specialty, and the wild partridge is so fresh you will swear you can still hear the shotgun.
For great service and creative dining, head over to Lacroix. Serving New American cuisine, this restaurant is worth visiting for more than its famous brunch. Stick to the savory house signature dishes that feature fruit. Round off your dinner with a peppermint chocolate souffle. Wines are half price on Sundays and Mondays.
Fish at Rittenhouse Square is worth a visit in your charter bus. Chef Mike Stollenwerk opened this follow up to Little Fish, and this gives him room to create ever more baroque flavors around his signature ingredient. Pairing seafood in unlikely combinations such as tuna with veal, or monkfish with lamb shank, eating at Fish is always an adventure.
For possibly the finest in fine dining in Philadelphia, step into Fountain Restaurant. Ferociously elegant, Fountain serves spectacular food with spectacular service. Serving Continental cuisine, Fountain is the very definition of fine dining. Don’t miss the cheese cart, with its eclectic selection of cheeses designed to perfectly complement any meal.
Chef owned Barbuzzo serves lip smacking Mediterranean fare at value for money prices. The farmhouse decor sets the tone for delicious meals serve in the Mediterranean style. Try the pasta with wood smoked mushrooms, or egg topped uovo pizza. The interior is a trifle cramped, so sit at the counter if you need elbow space.
