One of the best things about the Lehigh Valley is the diversity here-all people are represented and welcome! Because of this there are so many restaurants celebrating different cuisines and heritages! The restaurants below represent all price ranges, from places you should dress up for to places you could grab takeout from and eat in your PJ's! There are no chains (except small local chains) represented here, all are run by local families! This is FAR from an exhaustive list so if you have a favorite not listed here, please let me know about it! Because this area has a particularly large Latinx population, I decided to start there.

The restaurants below are grouped as: Latin & Spanish, Asian, Indian, African, Middle Eastern, Greek & Mediterranean, Italian, French, German, Polish & Eastern European, Irish, Canadian, American Regional, Carribean & Polynesian. All restaurants are listed alphabetically. Scroll through and find a new fave!

You can try some of their more exotic pots or something more traditional. They bring it to your table with it's own warmer so it stays hot!
