20 Classic Restaurants In Philly

"From the phyllo-wrapped haloumi and layered salatim to the Middle Eastern wine list and impeccable service, Zahav is worth the struggle for the reservation. This Israeli restaurant in Old City has had nonstop hype since opening in 2008 thanks to its expansive tasting menu of dishes like silky hummus, charred beets and eggplant, and pomegranate lamb shoulder. The experience is upscale but never stiff, and feels special whether it’s a random Tuesday at the bar or a big deal date night. Reservations are dropped eight weeks ahead to-the-day at 11am in a rolling fashion. So if you want to have laffa bread and salatim on Christmas, check the website at 10:59am on 11/6/2024. Otherwise, see if your cousin who took Coding 101 can hack you a reservation." - alison kessler, candis mclean
