Philly’s Most Anticipated Spring 2024 Restaurant Openings

Around this time, before you can get enough winter, spring arrives. While that appears to be nothing short of bittersweet — at least in Philly — there are plenty of things to anticipate for spring 2024 — and that includes incredible dining and sipping. There’s lots of new restaurants, bars, and cafes opening in Philly this upcoming season, so the following list includes only a select few of the ones we’re looking forward to (but you only come here for the best of the best, right). So it’s about time you start revisiting your Resy, Tock, and OpenTable accounts and plan your future reservations ahead of time. Don’t worry, your favorite mainstays are still around — but an even more exciting spring is officially here.
