University City :: Restaurants
Left of Center
As Philadelphia's first suburb, University City remains home to distinctive, livable urban neighborhoods with historic Victorian homes, wide porches and tree-lined streets.
With its thriving arts scene, diverse shopping destinations, and extraordinary dining options, University City is ripe for exploration and is a rapidly evolving community infused with artistic and cultural life.
From intimate BYOBs and posh nightspots to romantic sidewalk cafes and inexpensive eateries, University City offers an eclectic array of dining possibilities. Most impressive, however, is University City's marvelous representation of ethnicities.
In fact, when visiting you are likely to experience dynamic dishes originating from Thailand, Laos, Ethiopia, Pakistan, France and Japan, among other places. A thriving nexus of international cuisine, University City is one of the most adventurous dining destinations in Philadelphia.
There is something for every taste and budget.
After checking out the restaurants below, be sure to check out the
University City District's online dining guide
for even more choices.
