Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley’s restaurant scene has its roots in colonial times, when the first European settlers brought their home comforts with them across the Atlantic. Today, you can still experience those traditional flavors at colonial taverns or find innovative, updated versions crafted by modern-day culinary explorers. (Our local chefs have more than enough James Beard Award nominations between them to prove their chops!)
From upscale cafés to corner diners, from locally foraged ramps to harvest-season cider doughnuts, the food on our tables shows that we're proud of our traditions — but always looking for what comes next.
