If you’re looking for a casual dining experience with young professionals (Whartonites, this is for you), try Dmitri’s located near Fitler Square.
The décor, in short, feels less Mediterranean that it does regular American.
Tucked away inside a traditional Philadelphia row house is Effie’s Greek Restaurant, the closest any Philadelphian can get to authentic Greek cuisine.
This Philadelphia classic, located on Antique Row, has been serving its own twist on classic Greek fare for 12 years, leaving some like Sarah Weaver, a three-year patron, coming back for more.
“This place is phenomenal,” Weaver said, “I bring all my friends from out of town because there is no other place I’d go to get good Greek food.”
Effie’s serves traditional Greek food in a cozy, at-ease atmosphere meant to make diners feel at home.
