Restaurant Aleksandar

"If Vedge is the class valedictorian that never steps out of line, V Street is its little sister who stays out past curfew and still somehow still gets an A on their test the next day. It’s mostly a bar with small street food plates, and everything on the menu is under $15, but it’s all so good that you’ll forget you only originally came here to please your vegan friend with five different food allergies. Some of our favorite things are the miso butter noodles with nori, pickled ginger, and gochugaru, and the trumpet mushroom shawarma, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu." - Sydney McElwee

"One of Rittenhouse’s best restaurants is now rolling out a grand five-course menu for $120 per person that give diners options (such as foie gras or Norwegian crab, Alaskan salmon or prime NY strip, and tiramisu or citrus tart). Reservations are now available to be made at OpenTable." - Ernest Owens

"Restaurant Aleksandar, located in Rittenhouse Square, has been known for its European-inspired cuisine. Montana Houston and Ja’mir Wimberly-Cole, who were formerly the executive chef and chef de cuisine respectively, have moved on to new opportunities." - Ernest Owens

"This Rittenhouse restaurant has an impressive brunch menu that serve up notable sweet and savory dishes. Pro-tip: Try their chicken and beignets (twice-fried chicken, fried rosemary, Vermont syrup and house-made beignets), steak and sunny eggs (made with 8 ounce steak, sunny-side egg, crispy hash brown, and au poivre jus), and Texas toast BLT (made with pepper bacon, bib lettuce, pickled onions, Happycat farm tomatoes, and pimento spread)." - Ernest Owens

"Rittenhouse Square’s Restaurant Aleksandar regularly refreshes its delectable weekend brunch menu but consistently offers beloved takes on benedicts, French toast, and eggs. Bottomless mimosas are also available at $30 per person with a two-hour limit." - George Banks-Weston
