After the demands of weekend service, many restaurants close their doors on Mondays in order to catch up on administrative tasks and to take a much-needed break from hospitality. Lately, due to pandemic-related labor shortages and service industry burnout, more restaurants than ever are choosing to take a break and stay closed on the early side of the week.
When you can’t find the energy to cook for yourself at home, though, you still stand a chance on Mondays at some of Philly’s best and brightest. A lot of the restaurants on this list offer takeout, delivery, and dine-in service, so whatever your mood, you’ll be covered.
