With its light, airy interior, Friday Saturday Sunday is one of Philly’s most instagrammable restaurants. Bartender Paul MacDonald finds the best spots and lighting to show off his glamorous cocktails served in cut crystal glasses. His serene shots look like drinkable works of art and reveal what potent potable he’s mixing up that night.

Chef Andrew Wood, co-owner of Russet with wife Kristin, gets up-close-and-personal with his ingredients, focusing on every pod, muscle, and kernel. The BYOB’s colorful feed gives guests a sneak peek at what’s on the seasonal menu.

@BellyofthePig

An up-and-comer in the field, John Kim is a prolific eater, home cook, and photographer whose passion for food shines through his Instagram. As the handle suggests, pork products are a favorite, but photos include a wide variety of casual, high-end, and dessert dishes. He’s thoughtful about scheduling his posts, so followers are never overwhelmed with a barrage of food from the same restaurant.

The hardest part of looking at this gluttonous feed is not licking the phone. Most shots are from the perspective of taking a nice big bite of lobster rolls, burgers, cupcakes, pizza, pasta, ice cream, cannoli, bagels, and much more.

Cheers to Friday! Enjoy your selection of over 120+ wines on tap. #TGIF

Along with beautiful shots of dishes from Matt Gentile’s kitchen, Panorama highlights its Guinness recording-holding wine program with videos of sommelier William Eccleston discussing his favorite bottles on the menu. It’s on-demand wine education.

@missiontaqueria

Just like the experience of eating at Mission Taqueria, the restaurant’s Instagram account exudes fun and creativity. New menu items and specials are on full display, along with witty captions, drawings, and calls for Happy Hour. It’s clear that the whole crew has a good time creating posts.

@vetricucinaphl

Dinner at Vetri Cucina is a splurge for most Philadelphians, but drooling over pasta on the Italian icon’s Instagram feed is a free sport. Actually, all of the restaurants and many of the chefs in the Vetri empire — like @chefbradspence, @jeffmichaud, and @apditomo — are well worth a follow.
