It was rated the number one resturant in the country. Other great places... Dmitri's @ 3rd & Catherine in Queen Village, BYOB, great food, close and crowded but fun atmosphere. Pamplona @ 12th and Locust in Center City. I work there, eat the food all the time and still would go there as a customer. Serves meditearanean style food, very delicious. Serves Stoudt's beer and spanish wines. Same owner as Dmitri's. 627-9050. The Victor Cafe, South Philly. Above average food. Great atmosphere. All the waitrons sing opera during the course of service. The White Dog Cafe. My personal favorite. Unique menu. Political themes abound. UPenn crowd. Funky gift shop attached. Reservations a must. Sansom St between 36th and 34th. -- Julie A Parr

It sounds wonderful, but I'm : afraid it will be too expensive, unless I have a "wind-fall" Le Bec Fin IS extremely expensive. For gourmet food at considerably less cost, try Janine's Bistro...It's located on Front Street near Market, just above La Truffe. La Truffe has been around forever and the food is great, but it's very expensive. The owners opened the bistro upstairs and have managed to give great food at lower cost. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a true French bistro...very nice and relaxed.

Susanna Foo's in Center City is a fairly interesting but expensive Chinese restaurant that IMHO doesn't live up to its reputation...but some people adore it. Le Bec Fin is, as others have noted, stratospherically expensive. Zanzibar Blue is a decent restaurant with a jazz bar attached to it, nice if you like the music.

DiLullo's, also expensive.
since i just re-read the original post and realized the poster was interested in gourmet food ... Jack's Firehouse on Fairmount comes to mind. everything is totally fresh, they don't even have a freezer. also at least 18 different wines by the glass. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Audrey Marsh "When the going gets weird, [email removed] the weird turn pro..."
