Las Cazuelas
This authentically Mexican family-run place is an anomaly in sceney Northern Liberties. The colors, both inside and out, are warm and bright and the food is simple and rather gently spiced, apropos of the family's roots in the town of Puebla. Mexican sodas and fruity juices complement the restaurant's BYOB policy.
North Third
North Third is one of the first restaurants to settle in Northern Liberties at the infancy of the neighborhood's transformation. The menu hasn't changed much, mostly because locals love hits like the Moroccan-spiced lamb burger, mushroom flatbread, and house-made pierogies. Weekend brunch here—breakfast burrito, berry-topped French toast—is one of the best in the area.
Osteria
After changing hands a number of times, Osteria is now under the careful direction of chef Jeff Michaud. The menu has everything from amazing brick-oven pizzas (try the Lombarda, with sausage and a soft-cooked egg) to delicate pastas tossed in creamy sauces to a 32-ounce rib-eye steak for two. The neighborhood-making North Broad Street setting with red concrete floors, rustic wooden tables, and soaring ceilings blends loft and countryside, industry and art.
Sancho Pistola's
Silk City Diner, Bar, and Lounge
Mark Bee, the local restaurateur behind favorite gastropub N. 3rd, bought the Silk City Diner in 2006, polished off its grease-coated, 1950s-era pink Formica counter, and started serving updated comfort food. Menu items include a fierce plate of buttermilk fried chicken, deep-fried veggie wings, the city's best bowl of mac and cheese (baked with a garlic-bread crust), and some lighter fare (salads and roasted veggies) should you want to go next door to the bar and lounge and dance 'til dawn beneath the disco ball.
Standard Tap
This neighborhood gastropub is a Northern Liberties fixture, popular with the hipsters who populate this particular neighborhood, and for good reason. The frequently changing menu, presented unpretentiously on a chalkboard, is much more ambitious—and much tastier—than you'd expect from average bar food, and since you're in a bar, you can wash down the shellfish, terrines, local-veggie-forward salads, and wild game with one of the local microbrews on tap. Sunday brunch (think Bloody Marys and fresh oysters) is always busy.
