    10-course Chef's Table @ Mica

    8609 Germantown Ave Philadelphia, PA

    Chef Chip Roman's lastest venture with "fresh, local ingredients and assertive flavors." The menu isn't cheap, but according to Inky food critic Craig LaBan, could potentially become one of the best in the region! Well done, Chef!

    Pizza @ Chestnut7

    8201 Germantown Ave Philadelphia, PA

    Try any of the pizzas at this upscale-leaning (but still affordable) American pub that opened in early-August. True Hillers know the name comes from the area’s old telephone exchange, CH7.

    Roasted Vegetable Grinder @ Trolley Car Diner & Deli

    7619 Germantown Avenue Philadelphia, PA

    You expect good home-style cooking at a silver diner, and they do it up right (butter 'n all), but the Trolley Car also has an amazing variety of vegetarian dishes. Their kids menu also won Best of Philly last year.

    Chicken Salad Sandwich @ Chestnut Grill and Sidewalk Cafe

    8229 Germantown Avenue Philadelphia, PA

    Try it with some mighty tasty fries. Actually, add the fries to anything you order. But no matter what, ask for one of the coveted outdoor tables. They are worth any wait!

    The Schmitter @ mcnally's tavern

    8634 Germantown Ave Philadelphia , pa

    Seriously, what's not to love about shredded beef, salami, tomatoes, friend onions, cheese AND a secret sauce. (We have a theory on that, btw -- but you decide.)

    Crab Cakes @ Cafette

    8136 Ardleigh Street Philadelphia, PA

    Maryland-style crab cakes but served with a lemon-horseradish aioli. The chef's an artist -- literally, he's an artist -- and there's an adorable outdoor sculpture garden.

    Szechuan Beef @ Cin Cin

    7838 Germantown Avenue Philadelphia, PA

    Julienned beef with shredded celery and carrots in a brandy-infused Hoisin sauce. Need we say more?

    Kenzinger Fishtown and Chips @ Campbell's Place

    8337 Germantown Ave Philadelphia , pa

    Kenzinger beer-battered tilapia, sweet pea mash and fries. Hello, guv'ner. (Another favorite is the bourbon pork.)
