As Center City Restaurant Week kicks into high gear, more than 120 restaurants in Center City will offer three-course dinners for only $35 per person and three-course lunches for $20 per person.

The popular dining phenomenon continues through September 12 and starts again for its final run of the season from September 14 through 19.

A list of 120 restaurants is pretty daunting, so we've rounded up the top BYOB eateries that are participating in this fall's restaurant week.

A lot of these BYOBs are great for group dining. Some even have a four-course dinner instead of three, and the BYOB component allows you to save even more.

From modern American restos to Italian eateries, pack up a bottle of your favorite wine or a six-pack of your favorite beer and head out to one of the more than 10 BYOB restaurant week spots.
