Fountain Restaurant: One of Philadelphia’s Finest Restaurants

April 24, 2012 by

One of the most lauded restaurants in Philadelphia is the Fountain, opened inside the Four Seasons Hotel in 1983. The recipient of scores of awards, the Fountain has brought exceptional fine dining to local palates with great consistency. The décor is gorgeous, with glass art, comfortable booths, and soundproof dividers for comfort and privacy. Cuisine is contemporary American with heavy French influences, and the menu abounds with must-try appetizers and entrees. Keep in mind that a jacket is required for gentlemen dining here. Brunch here draws a sizable crowd, with the brioche French toast a particular favorite. Pancakes with huckleberries and Ricotta cheese are also amazing. Dinner is exceptional – one of the most decadent entrees is the whole deshelled lobster in cognac our bourbon sauce. Sea bass is also cooked to perfect tenderness and seasoned deliciously. Get the chocolate soufflé for dessert. Prices are, of course, high, but the Fountain is an experience that’s worth it.

Kennett: One of Philadelphia’s Most Historic Restaurants

March 20, 2012 by

Philadelphia has a number of restaurants with impressive pedigrees, and Kennett is among them. This 2nd Street mainstay opened its doors in 1924 as the Kennett Café, but it doesn’t bear much resemblance now to what has gone before. The current Kennett Restaurant features a wood-fired pizza oven and locally-sourced ingredients, among other things, and has become a neighborhood favorite. Executive Chef Brian Ricci studied at the French Culinary Institute and plied his trade at several of Philadelphia’s top eateries before coming to Kennett. He specializes in vibrant, flavorful seasonal menus, and diners rave about his innovation in the kitchen. Some of the best dishes at Kennett include the incredible lamb burger, served with shaved onions, purple cabbage, and caper-laced cucumber yogurt slaw, as well as the delectable house-made gnocchi Parisian, served with Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, and farmer’s cheese. Kennett's pizzas are excellent, and the sticky toffee pudding might be one of the best desserts in town.
