Expect the Unexpected.

For more than two decades, Continental Mid-town has delighted guests with its playful spirit, imaginative menu, and unmistakable personality. Spanning three dynamic levels, each space offers a distinctly different experience, from lively cocktails and dinner downstairs to the jet-set mezzanine and open-air rooftop patio. The menu is as inventive as the surroundings, pairing legendary favorites like Szechuan Shoestring Fries with globally inspired dishes and retro cocktails that have become classics in their own right. Fun, energetic, and endlessly original, Continental Mid-town remains a Philadelphia icon where every visit promises something unexpected.

Cuisine

Experience global cuisine, with playful touches – familiar, but never predictable. Nostalgic hits like the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and Szechuan Shoestring Fries bring comfort to the table while French Onion Soup Dumplings and Peruvian Chicken keep things bold, vibrant, and anything but expected.
