If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to eat your way across the neighborhood without turning it into a budgeting exercise, Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026 is the moment. The Northern Liberties Business Improvement District is bringing the event back for its sixth year with more days, more restaurants, and more ways to participate.
Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026 runs from Monday, January 26, 2026, to Sunday, February 8, 2026, stretching to two full weeks and inviting hungry Philadelphians to treat the area like a curated tasting tour—one reservation at a time.
Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026 is intentionally built around accessibility and discovery. Lunch returns in a big way, with two-course menus priced at $10, $15, and $20, while dinner menus expand into three (or more) courses for $25, $35, and $45. It means you can pop in midweek for a quick lunch that still feels like an occasion, then circle back for a Saturday-night dinner that hits like a full-on neighborhood celebration. It’s also exactly the kind of food-forward programming that reflects what Northern Liberties has become: a dining corridor with real personality, where the vibe can swing from laid-back to date-night polished within a single block.
As Northern Liberties Business Improvement District Executive Director Sydney Rexroad puts it, “Northern Liberties Restaurant Row continues to grow and grow each year – and we are thrilled to expand Restaurant Week to follow suit… We have expanded it to two full weeks and added back in lunch service.”
Rexroad also frames the bigger point that comes through loud and clear in this lineup: “We are thrilled to present one of the most diverse line-ups for restaurant week in the city, offering a chance to enjoy a tasting tour around the world… With price points from $10 to $45, not only is there a diversity of cuisines and vibes, but it’s affordable for everyone.” That’s the hook—and it’s also the promise of Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026.
Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026: The Lineup, From Newcomers to Icons
The participating list for Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026 is the kind of neighborhood roll call that makes you want to start planning immediately. This year’s newcomers add fresh energy, including Amina, Apricot Stone at its new location, Mamajuana Cafe Philly, Mana Modern Chinese, Newsroom Philly, Scusi, Tikka Mahal Modern Indian Restaurant, and Yards Brewing. Those additions matter because they reflect the neighborhood’s current moment—new doors opening, new menus landing, and new regulars being made.
At the same time, Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026 leans into the comfort of returning favorites that have helped define the area’s dining identity. Standard Tap is called out as “the oldest gastro pub in the country,” and it’s positioned as “a perfect spot to kick off America and Philly 250,” which feels like a smart nod to what Philadelphia will be buzzing about in the year ahead. The roster also includes Bar1010, Bourbon & Branch, Cantina Dos Segundos, El Camino Real, Jerry’s Bar, North 3rd, Nourish, Silk City Diner, and Urban Village Brewing—names that can anchor a plan, whether you’re chasing cocktails, comfort classics, or something a little more experimental.
One of the strongest themes in Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026 is its emphasis on the neighborhood’s “largest selection of Asian-owned restaurants,” including Baan Thai Thai Cuisine, Circles Thai, Hello Vietnam, Hikari Sushi, Seiko Japanese, and Yanaga Kappo Izakaya, plus Mana Modern Chinese, which is also described as the neighborhood’s “first-ever soup dumpling hot spot.”
For clarity, here are all participating restaurants and businesses listed so far for Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026: Amina, Apricot Stone, Baan Thai Thai Cuisine, Bar1010, Bourbon & Branch, Cantina Dos Segundos, Circles Thai, El Camino Real, Hello Vietnam, Hikari Sushi, Jerry’s Bar, Mamajuana Cafe Philly, Mana Modern Chinese, Newsroom Philly, North 3rd, Nourish, Scusi, Seiko Japanese, Silk City Diner, Standard Tap, Tikka Mahal Modern Indian Restaurant, Urban Village Brewing, Yanaga Kappo Izakaya, and Yards Brewing.
Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026: How to Do It Right
The best way to approach Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026 is to treat it like a choose-your-own-adventure with a built-in price ceiling and a lot of upside. Some restaurants will offer lunch, some dinner, and some both, with a clear focus on dine-in experiences—indoor and outdoor—plus select options for takeout, delivery, and more. Outdoor dining is getting an extra shot of winter magic this year, too, with “for the first time festive, heated Igloo dining,” alongside permanent courtyards, sidewalks, rooftops, and patios. In January and early February, those details matter; they turn “we’ll see how it feels” into “let’s do it.”
Menus start going live today and continue through the start of Restaurant Week, giving you time to map out your personal hit list. The event website is set up to make planning easier, housing the essentials hungry diners actually need: a map showing restaurant locations, menus, price points, and reservation links. Reservations are strongly encouraged, and you’ll book directly through each restaurant—by phone, website, OpenTable, or Resy—so it’s worth locking in your top picks early, especially for prime weekend dinner slots during Northern Liberties Restaurant Week 2026.
