Even though we didn’t get a chance to brunch at Pamela’s Diner, we did get to stop by to take a few photos. I loved the pink and yellow!

Smallman Galley

Maple-colored long tables, industrial-style fixtures, and bright, natural light will give you a gorgeous pic or two… and that’s before your table is loaded with dishes from the Galley’s four restaurant concepts. Must-take shot: An overhead picture of your (and your friend’s) dinner, making sure to show that yes, you can enjoy pizza, pupusas, Banh mi and macarons at a single restaurant.

fl.2

One of Pittsburgh’s newest restaurants is also one of our most beautiful. Fl 2 just opened in the Fairmont Hotel, and it’s gorgeous. You’ll find plenty of inspiration around the modern circular bar, and the food – bright, colorful dishes plated with care – will give you the perfect culinary shot. Must-take shot: A cocktail pic that features the golden, double-level drop-down bottle shelf behind the bar.

Gaby et Jules

Take the most beautiful French desserts you’ve ever seen…and pair them with macarons, and you’ve got an Instagram match made in heaven. Welcome to Gaby et Jules. Must-take shot: Since it’s hard to get a super-clear shot of the pastries through the display glass, pick out your favorite, position it just so on a Gaby et Jules paper bag, and snap away.
