Congratulations to 2 Memphis restaurants who made it on Open Table’s list of Top 100 Romantic Restaurants in the United States: Chez Philippe and Restaurant Iris. I can say from experience that Chez Philippe is most definitely deserving of this honor, and I have heard from many sources that Restaurant Iris is too. (I have a gift card to Iris and will be using it soon!)
Other than Memphis, Miami and Virginia Beach were the only other two Southern cities to have 2 or more restaurants on the list. Another win for the Memphis restaurant scene! Also, another reason for you to vote for Memphis as Southern Living’s Tastiest Southern Town (intentional plug).
Check out The Commercial Appeal’s brief write up and Memphis Business Journal’s story about the news.


Good for Memphis! Miami and Virgina Beach are good company.
