The Greater Philadelphia area is rapidly gaining a national reputation as a superb destination for fine dining experiences, 5-star restaurants. Many of the region's restaurants have long been recognized by such nationally respected authorities as Gourmet magazine, Mobile Travel Guide and Zagat Surveys. Dining experiences worthy of Louis XVI consist of six-courses, prix fixe menu with a savory stream of dishes including a triple-tiered dessert cart containing over 40 freshly made selections, the Le Bec-Fin. Buddakan is a pan-asian nightspot centers around a 10½-foot gilded Buddha. Xochitl's menu could be called upscale Mexican, but the theme of the restaurant is based on the Native American Toltecs, who, legend has it, invented the predecessor of tequila. Supper is a modern American restaurant with a casual and comforting dining atmosphere that serves American cuisine tempered by French and Italian techniques and influences. You won't want to miss any single experience in Philadelphia's 5-star restaurants!
