Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Pittsburgh right now.
You can expect an enormous variety of cuisines in Pittsburgh, a reflection of the town's ethnic diversity. Most of these restaurants are surprisingly affordable. Many restaurants allow you to bring your own wine or beer. Higher-end dining establishments are in the downtown area.
Woodwork and tapestries hanging from the ceiling lend a Jamaican flavor to this converted warehouse, as does the reggae music. A friendly crowd often clings to the full bar after work. Tropical paella, Jamaican green-curry stir-fry, and fish specials are on the menu.
Tiffany lamps above wooden booths and old mosaic tile floors give this tavern a late 19th-century feel. Enjoy a potato-pancake Reuben, German sausage, or veal. Dinner is a bit more formal; brunch is served on Sunday.
What started out in 1933 as a working-class bar is now a Pittsburgh favorite with eight locations. The cheese steak comes with fries, coleslaw, and tomato—all in the sandwich.
This student favorite serves eclectic Southeast Asian cuisine, ranging from the classic pad Thai to spicy fish cakes and exotic salads. Slow-roasted Shan Hin Lay Pork is especially good on cold nights. The single, tastefully decorated (and dimly lit) dining room is often crowded.
