QUEEN VILLAGE. Beau Monde is crazy for crepes! Though this beautifully decorated eatery serves appetizers and salads as well, the crepes are the main attraction. And they aren't just for dessert. For dinner, try a buckwheat crepe stuffed with herbs and chicken or shrimp. For dessert, the sweeter wheat crepes are served with fruit or cream filling. Reservations are accepted for groups of six or more.

SOUTH PHILLY. A family-owned venture located within just a few steps of the Tomb of the Unkown Soldier, Cafè SUD is famous citywide for its authentic Moroccan fare and delectable cakes and pastries, all of which are made in the adjoining bakery. For a particularly tremendous treat, try their weekend brunch, which features awesome omelet and griddle creations alongside more unique dishes such as kefta and eggs served in a tagine or crispy filo-stuffed with chicken, eggs, parsley, cilantro and cinnamon.

OLD CITY. Where do they mix Philly's top martinis? Many folks'd tell you it's at the white-toned bar of Market Street's über urbane diner, The Continental. Without question, the evocative elixirs served up here have few rivals. What's more, they're perfect complements to the global tapas prepared by the kitchen ­ dishes like beer-battered shrimp and calamari with saffron aioli, grilled octopus or crab pad thai. As for the scene, try to envision a Kubrick-esque take on the diner concept, complete with sleek olive-green banquettes and olive-shaped halogen lamps.

CENTER CITY. Younger sibling of esteemed BYOB La Boheme, this sophisticated French-Med eatery is located in Rittenhouse's historic Wetherill Mansion (the same building that houses the Philadelphia Art Alliance). In addition to the fairly-priced prix fixe ($30), Le Jardin's kitchen artfully delivers topnotch bistro staples like bouillabaisse, scallops with parsnip purée, and grilled pork loin with blue cheese-smashed red potatoes. Weekend brunch, too, is an impressive affair, one featuring the likes of tuna nicoise, moules marinieres and truffled eggs benedict.

NORTHERN LIBERTIES. This cozy corner watering hole, located at 3rd and Brown, has emerged as a true haven for the more sophisticated palates that live and play in the Northern Liberties. Works by local artists adorn the place's exposed bricks walls, and the selection of poisons is as diverse as any place in town (from Rothbury Estate Shiraz to minty Mojito Martinis). Adding to the spot's wide appeal is a calendar of events that slates weekly Indy film screenings. As for eats, try your hand at their tasty potato pierogies, gazpacho or steamed mussels. Weekend brunch at North 3rd ­ a lineup that includes challah French toast, breakfast quesadilla eggs and arugula and beet salad ­ is also a must.
