Voting Home / La Terrasse Restaurant
Nominated for: BEST French
La Terrasse, lovingly referred to by faculty and students as "LT's", was first opened in 1966.
Over more than four decades La Terrasse has remained a meeting place for academia, and has also grown to be one of the most notable restaurants in the city. Alumni from all over the world have shared stories and memories of their time spent at the venerable La Terrasse. Whether it be debating politics with a professor, a first date with a college sweetheart, or a proposal to a future spouse, this building has seen it all.
Outside the surrounding community, La Terrasse has also helped mold the restaurant scene citywide. Beginning as one of the original French bistros in Philadelphia, La Terrasse has grown and expanded with the ever-changing tastes and trends of the restaurant industry.
We have seen our menu evolve from traditional French dishes to our current “Mediterranean Cuisine”. All the while La Terrasse has offered the freshest ingredients and exemplary service with the guests always being our first priority.
