Philadelphia just pulled up a bigger chair at the national table. Eight Philadelphia restaurants made OpenTable's 2026 Top 100 Restaurants in America, double the city's total from 2025. OpenTable released the list on Nov. 4 and called it a breakout year for the city, and PhillyVoice reported that every Pennsylvania restaurant on it is in Philadelphia.
Note from Nick: Here's the list to save for your next big night out in the city.
Addresses as reported by PhillyVoice:
Half the list sits in South Philadelphia, from Bella Vista to East Passyunk Avenue, and the rest are spread across Center City and Society Hill.
The list comes from more than 11 million verified diner reviews, and it runs alphabetically, not in ranked order. OpenTable says it weighed diner ratings, the share of five-star reviews, the number of alerts diners set, the share of reservations booked in advance, how full the dining rooms ran and direct searches, using reviews from Sept. 1, 2025, through Aug. 31, 2026. In other words, this is a list built by people who actually ate there, not by a panel of critics. The national list spans 21 states and Washington, D.C.
Fiorella, Mawn and Saloon were also on the 2025 list, PhillyVoice reported, while Stephen Starr's Parc in Rittenhouse made it last year but did not return. The diners and the critics seem to agree: Friday Saturday Sunday, Her Place Supper Club and Provenance each received a Michelin star in the city's first guide in 2025, and Phila Lorn, a co-owner of Mawn and Sao, won a James Beard Award for best emerging chef, according to PhillyVoice.
No Bucks County or Montgomery County restaurant made this year's national list, and in New Jersey the lone honoree was The Saddle River Inn in North Jersey, per OpenTable and PhillyVoice. For a Bucks County date night, the drive into Center City or South Philly is the move.
Which Philadelphia restaurants made OpenTable's Top 100 for 2026? Fiorella, Friday Saturday Sunday, Her Place Supper Club, Mawn, Provenance, Saloon Restaurant, Sao and Vetri Cucina, per OpenTable's Nov. 4, 2026, announcement.
How many Philadelphia restaurants made the list? Eight, double the city's total from 2025, per OpenTable and PhillyVoice.
Is the OpenTable Top 100 ranked? No. OpenTable says the list appears alphabetically, not in ranked order.
Did any Bucks County restaurants make the 2026 list? No. All eight Pennsylvania honorees are in Philadelphia.
