Nice ambience, delicious Spanish cheeses and meats (splurge for the jamón iberico), and it's worth trying as many different items as possible. The garnacha blend Prima is a winner from the wine list
While Garces isn't in the kitchen, much of the menu is still full of his spirit. Even though it opened in 2005, getting a reservation is still a challenge 7 years later. [Eater 38 Member]
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly! Try some of the cured meats, garlic shrimp, flatbreads, fideos made with calamari, and the lamb meatballs.... but, honestly, everything is great here.
Garces' flagship restaurant in Philly. The garlic shrimptapa is insane. Try one of the flatbreads as well; the short rib one is a fave. Hamcroquettas and potatas bravas are always amazing.
Lunch: Catalan Express is definitely the way to go. Sopa de Batata, the best sweet potato soup I've had, paired with the spicy potatoes and vegetarian sandwich (which was great) left me full and happy
Jose Garces presents stunning updates to classic Spanish flavors in an evocative, 135-seat space in Old City. The service is impressive and the menu well-tuned, but those small plates add up quickly. Leggi tutto
One of the best restaurants in Philly. Some of my favorites are the crabstuffed peppers and the parmesanartichokes, but everything on the menu is delish!!!
Quite possibly best restaurant I've ever been to. Cheese w/ garlic dulce de leche made me melt. Literally EVERYTHING was amazing. Flatbread with chorizo and shrimp was to die to die for. GET DESSERT.
arces' granddaddy just overhauled its OMG-Everything's-Totally-Cheaper-Than-Normal! Hour with mid-week drink specials including $4 Estrellas & $8 custom cocktails like the Matador Leggi tutto
I came here for drinks and was not dissappointed. Amazing sangria and will come again to try dinner. Only bad thing are the moron rich white people that think they know everything about wine. Shut up.
You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I definitely recommend the garrotxa cheese with garlic dulce de leche, the albóndigas and grilled chorizo or octopus.
Yummy! Great ambiance, service, and food. Loved the garlic shrimp, peppers, and the doughnuts for dessert! Flatbreads were overrated - I prefer the tapas!
Ordr Granache 2 strt but switch 2 Temperanillo 4 dinner so as not 2 ovrpwr the full flavrd menu. Skip the chckn-it fails in comparsn 2 the rest of the menu&the roastd pepprs w/goat chz is a MUST HAVE!
Must haves: empanadas, flat breads, garlic shrimp, pork with white beans, and to top it off, apple slices with manchego cheese drizzled with truffle honey
The perfect spot is located at the end of the main dining room. The chef's counter, with six high chairs, gets you up-close to the action in the kitchen.

ChefJose Garces serves authentic Spanish tapas perfectly paired with cocktails that make for a delicious night out. Artichoke and wild mushroomflatbread is a must have!
If you want to eat tapas you will be disappointed here. They are very different than what you find in Spain. Portions are really small for a tapa and over-expensive.
