The cheap restaurants of Philadelphia include a lot more than cheesesteak stands (although those are great too). The menu at Tenth Street Pourhouse features a Cajun flare with items such as the catfish po' boy sandwich. Jazz posters adorn the yellow-orange walls in the lively but dimly lit seating area. Located a half-block from the Convention Center, Vietnam Palace is a gem serving some the most delicious Southeast Asian cuisine you'll find outside of, well, Southeast Asia. Patou is an old city restaurant and the brainchild of Patrice Rames, chef of the highly commended Bistro St. Tropez. From its stone-topped bar to its wall of riverstones washed by a waterfall, Riverstone Cafe is a wow from beginning to end. Eulogy Belgian Tavern features 21 drafts and 300 different bottled beers. While Philadelphia fine dining has come up a great deal in past years, so have the city's cheap restaurants, which offer satisfying food at a satisfying price.
