The 15 Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"Pera is the Dua Lipa of Mediterranean restaurants–the Turkish spot delivers one hit after another. The dining room has a handful of long tables where you should post up with a few friends, or bring a date and people watch from the massive windows along 2nd Street. The extensive menu includes zesty tabouli, creamy hummus, lemony marinated lamb skewers, and a perfectly charred, super juicy whole dorado. Everything here is made to share so you can split a few plates with your friends, and in case you forget a bottle (it’s a BYOB), there’s a Fine Wine & Good Spirits shop down the street." - alison kessler, candis mclean
