This Restaurant Near Philadelphia Is Located In The Most Unforgettable Setting

Philadelphia is a beautiful city, but sometimes you want to get away from the tall buildings and busy city atmosphere to find a place to dine that's located in a stunning setting. Luckily, you'll find the most unforgettable dining experience near Philadelphia less than an hour outside of the city, at a charming French restaurant called Rat's.

Rat's Restaurant is located in Hamilton, New Jersey, on the stunning Grounds for Sculpture Property.

The restaurant's location is truly unforgettable — where else can you dine in a replica of Monet's Japanese garden?

The charming French restaurant is, oddly enough, rat-themed.

And you will be blown away by the attention to detail and stunning beauty of the place.

The interior is warm and inviting, with several dining rooms, all featuring mesmerizing artwork.

You'll want to dine outside if it's a beautiful fall day.

Start with their signature, cheesy, perfectly made french onion soup

And then choose a simple entree, like this mouthwatering pastrami sandwich...

...or do it up with one of their house specialty dishes.

Rat's is a great place to celebrate a special occasion, though every visit here feels special to me.

And their award winning brunch is one of the best you'll ever find.

The scenery, food, and location combine to make this one truly unforgettable dining experience near Philadelphia.

Rat's is located less than an hour from Philadelphia, at 16 Fairgrounds Rd, Hamilton Township, NJ 08619. On your drive in, you'll pass several of the massive, impressive sculptures that make up the art installation at Grounds for Sculpture. If you want to make a full day out of your visit, you can order tickets and tour the entire Grounds for Sculpture property here.

Rat's is one of the most beautiful restaurants around, but if you don't want to leave the city, you'll find a unique atmosphere right at Penn's Landing — at the Moshulu. Both restaurants offer the best of the best when it comes to food, atmosphere, and incredible location.
