Of the many gifts to give Dad on Father’s Day, one of the best options is taking your favorite guy out for brunch or dinner. In the Philadelphia area, you will find plenty of spots to help you achieve this goal. Here’s a roundup of our top eight picks:
Wyebrook Farm
If your Dad loves brunch over any other meal, we have the perfect place for him to get all of his beloved brunch options on this special day. Wyebrook Farm is hosting its Father’s Day Brunch Buffet from 10 a.m. to noon. For $40 per adult and $20 for kids 12 and under, you will indulge in an array of brunch favorites, including Wyebrook’s own barbecued meats. For those who love a good Bloody Mary, Wyebrook Farm will supply the Bloody Mary station; you just have to supply the vodka!
Avenue Kitchen
Chef Greg Smith of Villanova’s Avenue Kitchen is looking to entice foodie fathers with his Father’s Day special of grilled 10 oz. pork chop that’s accented with a rollercoaster of flavors: golden raisins, pine nuts, Israeli couscous, spicy pineapple chutney and micro cilantro. Considering that exclusive dish, plus his other new summer seasonals (grilled BBQ shrimp and summer corn salad, ricotta gnocchi pomodoro), we presume your Pop’s special day has never been as delicious.
Distrito
If you are looking for dining options for Dad in the downtown Philadelphia vicinity, head over to Distrito for a batch of World Cup game time specials.

Add in the fact that you can catch a few World Cup games and this Father’s Day is looking pretty spectacular.
