The Philadelphia Flower Show has always been one of the city's most beloved annual traditions, and this year its spirit is spilling well beyond the convention center walls and into some of the region's most celebrated restaurants and bars. From hibiscus-cured crudo at Wilder to garden-inspired banh mi at Libertee Grounds, chefs and bartenders across Philadelphia are channeling the season's most vibrant colors and botanicals into their menus in genuinely creative ways. Whether you are looking for a pre-show brunch, a post-show nightcap, or a full evening built around floral flavors, the city has you covered on every front.
- Front Street Cafe is offering Flower Show ticket holders 10% off food along with a specialty weekend menu featuring edible florals incorporated into select cocktails and dishes for the duration of the event
- Kimpton Hotel Palomar is hosting a build-your-own bouquet activation on February 28 in partnership with The Philadelphia Flower Market, with arrangements available from $15.99 to $24.99
- Loews Philadelphia Hotel is offering a Flower Show Package that includes two show tickets, two cocktails at Bank and Bourbon, and a complimentary room upgrade with rates starting at $299 per night
- The Twisted Tail is hosting a cocktail competition alongside the Flower Show with submissions opening February 28, and the winning creation earning a permanent spot on the menu credited to its creator
The Philadelphia Flower Show transforms the entire city into a celebration of beauty and seasonality, and this year's restaurant and bar scene is rising to the occasion in full bloom. Make your reservations early and let the flavors of the season lead the way.
