Ten things to devour at Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphia

One of the nation’s oldest and largest public markets, Reading Terminal Market is a must-visit on any trip to Philadelphia.

Beloved by locals and visitors alike, this bustling indoor food hall and marketplace features dozens of family-owned vendors offering an astonishing variety of food. Some vendors operate in much the same way as they did when the market opened in 1892.

The globally-inspired food available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (eat in or take out), is the main draw, whilst other vendors offer meats, vegetables, cheeses and chocolates amongst many other things. It is filled with the sights and sounds that rows-upon-rows of vendors create. The choice is astonishing, so here is our pick of top 10 gastronomic delights to look out for during your visit to Reading Terminal Market.

Roast Pork Sandwiches at DiNic’s – a sandwich that includes thinly sliced, juicy roast pork piled on a hoagie roll with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe.
Doughnuts at Beiler’s Bakery – will you choose the blueberry fritter or the mocha crème? The coconut custard or the salted caramel? Or opt for a classic like an apple cider doughnut?
Cannoli at Termini Brothers Bakery – a super-fresh cannoli filled with ricotta cheese, vanilla, or chocolate Italian cream.
Sweet treats at Dutch Eating Place – a charming diner run by Amish and Mennonite families, best known for its cinnamon-scented apple dumplings.
Soft Pretzel at Miller’s Twist – hand-rolled by talented workers behind the counter, brushed with butter, and served slightly warm.
Bassetts Ice Cream – the oldest ice cream shop in the U.S. You can choose from dozens of rich and creamy flavours (vanilla is the most popular) made with over 16% butterfat.
Whoopie Pies at Flying Monkey – a traditional whoopie is two circles of cake — typically chocolate — filled with fluffy white frosting.
Barbecue Chicken at Dienner’s – choose between whole or half rotisserie, a roasted chicken sandwich, or the wings for visitors on the go.
Sweet potato treats at Sweet T’s Bakery – offering classic sweet potato pie with a graham cracker crust, sweet potato cheesecake and pound cake.
