Food Scene
The Dandelion is said to have the best burger in Philly - its the one that is a combination of different types of meat (might be the only one they have). It's an expensive spot that prides itself on updated seasonal takes of UK cuisine. And they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Parc is a French-styled restaurant that has a really nice outside seating area which views Rittenhouse square, but the weather will dictate whether or not you want that experience. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. This place is also expensive.
