Bars, Restaurants & Dining

Queen Village has blossomed with food and drink options in recent years.

Red Hook Coffee & Tea and The Bagel Place are casual stops for breakfast; the former hits the spot for coffee and vegan breakfasts, and the latter offers 21 types of bagels with 16 spreads, plus a robust sandwich menu. Australian brunch staple Ants Pants Cafe fills the brunch niche, cooking up hashes and a colorful salmon platter. Ox Coffee, on Third Street, serves New York-roasted Stumptown Coffee out of trendy, airy digs with snacks and dairy products sourced from Lancaster and surrounding farms.

For lunch, a reliably tasty cheesesteak can be picked up at Jim’s Steaks on South Street for lunch, or a hearty, boxy slice from Square Pie can be grabbed on East Passyunk Avenue. Hungry Pigeon is known for all-day dining, though it expertly puts together a grass-fed cheeseburger with fries, with lighter bites like a waldorf salad or pork and beans soup also available on the lunch menu.

Chef Jason Cichonski offers world-class dining at Ela, offering New American plates like baked trout and duck leg in a modern atmosphere. For an ethnic experience, Fez Moroccan whips up shish kabobs and couscous in a relaxed setting with hookah pipes.

Drinks flow at Tattooed Mom on South Street, offering a funky, eyebrow-raising environment with billiards, a vegetarian menu and drink options for everyone under the sun.

And, for a treat, Sweettooth is a classic-feeling candy store that curates hundreds of chocolate, lollipop, gum, taffy and ice cream varieties.
