So you haven’t been dining out enough. We’ve caught you stealthily picking out dinner at the Whole Foods hot bar. After an influx of eateries over the summer that have left foodies’ heads spinning, Restaurant Week is the perfect way to catch up on the Philly dining scene. You won’t find better incentive than the $35 prix-fixe deals that select Center City kitchens will be dishing out.

Consider this your chance to check out the newly-popped Prive and its truffle-infused hummus, the outlandish Sword on a Sword Skewers, and the enchanting Exotic Mushrooms with Boursin Cream Sauce. Other first-time players? Les Bons Temps and Xochitl beckon with their respective cuisines. The Comcast Center’s Table 31 has a hot table for you, and neo-Indian BYO Bindi extends an array of selections on one of the more flexible menus we’ve perused.

One of the best deals has to be Tavern 17, which will dole out four courses complete with a glass of wine and coffee. The ever-sexy tapas siblings, Amada and Tinto, are sending forth four small plates and dessert. Small plates, big flavor, commit that to memory before you complain with the champion gullet of a frat boy.

If you’re after richer tastes, Pearl aims to impress with Pistachio Black Truffle Scallops. Steakhouse stalwart the Prime Rib makes the second course decision a toughie: will it be Roast Prime Rib of Beef or the Flat Iron Steak? There’s also chicken and fish, but don’t you dare. Key lime pie and $35 later, and you’re off to an excellent week.

Center City District Restaurant Week will offer $35 dining deals from September 14-19. Check out the menus at their website.
