    Probably my favorite restaurant in the city. For the price and product you couldn't ask for a better experience. Seared foie gras is a must! First time I've had pork belly and it was amazing.

    Bells are ringing for this classy Passyunk Avenue American restaurant, newly moved into intimate quarters. Everything on the menu is worth a try. Don't forget to get dessert. Read more

    The duo of Chefs/Owners Lee Styer and Jessie Prawlucki are food magicans. We can't stop thinking about the Pork Belly and the impeccable wine list. Tthe Malted Milk Chocolate Ice Cream made us swoon.

    One of the best meals I've ever had. The seared foie gras is rich and decadent. The pork belly is divine. You'll be dreaming about it. Also, flawless service.

    Bursting onto the scene in 2010, the young guns at Fond have gotten the attention of the culinary movers and shakers in town. Get the sweetbreads, which change each week. Read more

    Without a doubt one of Philly's best restaurants. Get the Sweetbreads or the Pan Seared Foie Gras to start.

    With Fond’s new location comes a fully-stocked bar—though you’re still allowed to BYO on weekdays.

    They only take 1 reservation a day to dine in the garden which means it's all yours!!!

    Take a first date here, unless you're looking for something to blame other than yourself when the date fails. Because we're telling you, Fond's got it all right. Read more

    During this cold snap, the otherwise lovely seats by the windows are unreasonably cold.
