"What makes this French place on East Passyunk the highest-rated restaurant in Philly? Well, it’s a chameleon. The mirror-lined space is polished enough for a special night, but it’ll also make your rich uncle feel cool for wearing expensive jeans and Ferragamo sneakers on a Thursday. Dishes are original and surprising, like mussels hiding under shiso leaves, and monkfish in a jet-black lobster veloute that we want to dip grilled cheese into. Go for the six-course, $98 carte blanche tasting. It'll let you give up decision-making for the first time all week." - candis mclean
