Mealtime doesn't have to be predictable. After all, you live in Pittsburgh, the home of countless unique restaurants that offer plenty of good food and unforgettable ambiance. Next time you're struggling to answer that age-old question: what's for dinner, consider trying one of these unique restaurants in Pittsburgh that are also unforgettable:

Enjoy food as it was meant to be: Casual, made from scratch, and delicious. The Porch at Schenley in Oakland, which partners with local farms to provide the freshest ingredients, offers a casual yet fun menu, including a kids' menu, of handmade salads (salmon pastrami, for example), pizza, burgers, grilled cheese, and fettuccine primavera.

Indulge in authentic Greek cuisine at the Casbah, a bright and lively restaurant in Shadyside. Popular with the breakfast, Sunday brunch, and dinner crowd, Casbah offers an eclectic menu with such dishes as short rib ravioli, Scottish salmon, and Casbah double-cut pork chops.

Note: Butcher & The Rye is temporarily closed, but it'll be back. In the meantime...

Step back to a simpler time at Butcher & The Rye, an ode to Americana, promising traditional American fare with a modern day twist. Sit at a table lit by an oil lantern, and be surrounded by early 20th century décor, as you dine on such favorites as rustic bread, mac and cheese, roasted chicken, and hanger steak.

Okay, vegetarians, this one's for you! The Zenith, in the South Side, isn't your average vegetarian restaurant. It's a combo restaurant, antique store, and art gallery that promises vegetarians, and others who just love good food, such dishes as onion soup, the white bean burger, tofu spinach lasagna, and portobello stew.

Experience the ambiance that emanates from The Church Brew Works in Lawrenceville. Once St. John's Parish, the former church has become a popular eatery while still maintaining much of the church's original style. The Church Brew Works features an extensive menu of starters, entrees, desserts, and beer. If you're looking for unique eats, Pittsburgh certainly has plenty of places that fit the bill.

Drink in the spectacular scenery at The Grand Concourse in Station Square, whether you're in a window seat overlooking the river or you're in the heart of this historic landmark. Perhaps just as spectacular as the view is the eclectic menu of seafood, steak, and chicken. The Grand Concourse also hosts a popular brunch every Sunday.
