Tapas Restaurants in Philadelphia, PA

“Not child friendly need more option“

“one of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia and beyond. delicious and creative dishes, kind and present service, a thoughtful and complex wine list and beverage program in a very unique space overlooking south philly.

i’ve been here numerous times with different parties and i’ve always had a great experience. it’s also one of the few restaurants I can consistently get in with a last-minute reservation or walk-in while still feeling the place is lively and bumping every time I’m there. it’s a delicate balance and they nail it consistently. chef Michael’s food is excellent, bev director Michael has put together an awesome program and chef Ervis is such a handsome and gentle man who also happens to make great pastas. what a combo.

I love Irwin’s.“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.“

“Una experiencia culinaria deliciosa y única. La cabeza de cerdo estaba de show al igual que el pulpo y los boquerones. La atención fue muy buena y agradable. Gracias a todos y al Chef. Lo recomiendo altamente y regresaré.“

“Fantastic dining experience our server Sean Martin was amazing.“

“Very flavorful and unique pizza! Can taste the high-quality sourdough crust. We came here as a large group and ordered 7 pizzas to share, they were all extremely flavorful and individually unique! The service was attentive and the natural wine selection is great! We prefer the cozy outdoor patio space to inside. A great neighborhood pizza joint.“

“It was a wonderful experience the service was great the food was great !!!!! Highly recommend!!!!!“

“I’ve been to Fishtown Social many times and every experience has been great. Every wine/cocktail I’ve ordered has been very enjoyable. The whites and oranges are among the best I’ve ever had. I know I can try a few different wines here that I wouldn’t normally drink because the menu is always strong.

The service has always been friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was just here last night catching up with some friends. Even though it was last call and close to closing, the servers were very patient and accommodating. In the past, they’ve also helped me choose from their bottle shop selection in the back.

It also has a great atmosphere - candles, a beautiful bar, and outdoor seating. Stopping by here is always a treat!“

“I came here for the first time last night, and from the moment I walked in I knew I would love it. The energy, the atmosphere, the service, the food—everything was amazing. Luis and his team have created such a warm and welcoming environment—it was truly a pleasure to experience. Can’t wait to go back! Thank you Luis :)“

“My go to bar!! Baby the 50/50 burger and beef skewers on a Caesar salad are my favorites....good food, good vibes, I love how the owners are always friendly,welcoming, and present amongst the workers“

“Very nice service food was excellent“

“We came for bunch for the first time and it was absolutely delicious. The crab Benedict was amazing, the sangria pancakes were fluffy and perfect! My daughter absolutely love everything! Served super friends, and staff quick to clear dirty dishes. We will definitely be returning!!“

“Come to Ninja Bao!

I was waiting for a train and needed something to settle my stomach, I had the Tonkatsu ramen to my surprise was reasonably priced for 14$ had a soda and the staff/owners just kept giving me free complimentary food!

They gave me a cheesesteak Bao Bun and Scallion pancake!

This little gem reminds me of a small ramen shop salarymen would frequent after a hard day of work in Japan before the last train back home.

It’s a must visit and a staple shop in the suburban station and deserves praise!“

“Amazing service amazing bartenders Cecil is the man!!!! Big shout out for great selections and amazing drinks all night!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food was very good and the vibe was perfect. Unfortunately there was not much staff to work the food and drink service and we waited a long time to be seated and had to keep going up to the bar for drinks since no one would come to our table.“

“FRAME has a young, lounge vibe, complete with a DJ and hookahs. The service was both hospitable and helpful when we needed to make menu selections, but it was slow towards the end when we were ready to go. The food and drinks were good and fresh, but they were both on the pricey side. The Buffalo chicken dumplings were my favorite of the three appetizers we tried. The jerk snapper was cooked perfectly! It didn't have much jerk flavor, but we were warned when we ordered it. The fried rice was tasty but we upgraded to crab fried rice, which was a mistake. A tiny bit of shredded crab meat was sitting on top of the fried rice and it certainly was not enough to justify the $6 up-charge. Lastly, an 18% gratuity was automatically added to our check for two. I understand why restaurants do this, but we would have tipped more had it not been included. Overall we had a positive experience, but at my age, I do not believe I will return.“

“Classy but casual atmosphere and some of the most inventive and impressive vegan dishes I’ve had anywhere. A mandatory stop whenever I’m in Philly!“

“I was skeptical because I absolutely love eating meat. Meat and bbq is a huge part of my life. That being said dinner Saturday night was unbelievably fantastic. I absolutely loved everything that we ordered. Moms meatballs were my favorite dish. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that they are vegan. The cocktails were also delicious and strong. A++++ for this restaurant!“

“Super friendly owner and staff. Nice selections of authentic Spain products. I recommend the jamon sandwich“

“I came here a bit out of sorts after a personal setback. I needed help figuring out what to drink and a mixologist who I don’t think was on duty guided me to their special and it was such a good cocktail! The service and other customers were excellent. I hope to get back someday when I’m in this area.“

“Great atmosphere, service, and quality 👍“
