ZINC
Address: 246 South 11th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
Nestled into its charming Midtown Village locale, Olivier Desaintmartin’s second Philadelphia feat, Zinc, is the essence of class meets comfort. In a city filled with attempts at the French bistro, Desaintmartin sets this 11th street gem above the rest by offering unfussy bistro classics and an exclusively French wine selection. Zinc offers diners the rare chance to feel right at home with a dining room décor that features exposed brick, dark polished wood, bistro chalkboards and authentic Parisian paintings. Complete with a knowledgeable and friendly staff, Zinc’s quaint, romantic appeal is reminiscent of a true bistro a vins one might find during a spontaneous stroll through Ol’ Paris.

Privé
Address: 246 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106
Privé blends the historical allure of the Mediterranean with a hip, urban cosmopolitanism. A minimalist décor with bold color accents is juxtaposed by projections and reproductions of Classical Greco-Roman sculpture to create an appealing postmodern pastiche. Executive Chef Peter Karapanagiotis’s menu is a similar blend of tradition and the avant-garde, offering classic “mezzes” like Octopus and Haloumi as precedents for more whimsical entrees like the Salmon Paillard with caramel olive glaze and tzatziki with truffle essence and a sumptuous Lamb Burger with Mediterranean flavors. For those too wracked with indecision at Privé’s extensive and diverse offerings, the Chef’s Tasting menu for $45.00 per person promises exhilarating surprises.

Happy Rooster
Address: 118 South 16th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102
A Philadelphia mainstay for 40 years, the Happy Rooster is a mixture of old-school refinement and quirky charm, making it a favorite spot among locals and visitors. Opened as Philadelphia's first vodka and caviar bar in 1968, it was famous for its great food and old-boys’ club feel. When new owner Rose Parrota took over in 2000, she made a few changes. What remains offers a refined, but cozy dining experience. The menu is a selection of classic dinner fare with a few contemporary twists, and the bar offers a diverse wine list. On any given night, you can find locals and newcomers continuing the tradition of enjoying great food and drinks in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
