Looking for a good restaurant to go to this weekend?
Chestnut Hill Patch brought you the details of Chestnut Hill Cheese Shop Thursday. A gourmet bonanza right in Chestnut Hill that offers more than just a killer selection of cheese, this shop has it all. Enjoy the Maytag Blue, picholine olives, pate, chocolates and other European delights. Click here for the review.
If you are looking for a sit-down restaurant, check out other area restaurants that Patch reviewed this week:
MilkBoy Coffee, 2 E. Lancaster Ave., Ardmore
A perfectly balanced pumpkin latte and vegan scrapple await you at this leisurely coffee shop which now offers table service. Bring your computer, there is free wi-fi to boot. Click here for the review.
The Grog, 863 W. Lancaster Ave., Bryn Mawr
Stop in for some excellent fish and chips and great beer selection. If you’re like me, you’ll want to head in earlier rather than later to avoid the boisterous crowds. Click here for the review.
Mandarin Kitchen, 1009 W. Chester Pk., Havertown
Most of the luncheon specials hover around the $5 mark despite being large enough to feed two. In this depressed economic climate it’s nice to know that there are still deals to be found. Try the General Tso’s chicken, it’s delicious. Click here for the review.
Evviva, 1236 Montgomery Ave., Narberth
4 star food and 4 star service in an elegant dining room is available on the Main Line at this local BYOB. The butternut squash soup, salmon tartare and duck were out of this world. Click here for the review.
Sorrento’s Italian Restaurant, 640 E. Germantown Pk., Lafayette Hill
The bruschetta and gnocchi are great here, the service and wait are not. Better bet is to come during the week when it’s not as insane as it is on a Saturday night. Click here for the review.
Paramour at the Wayne Hotel, 139 E. Lancaster Ave., Wayne
A talented chef who has worked and opened more restaurants than he can remember is about to unleash his magic at this newly renovated restaurant. The food is lighter and more modern than at other places but just as delicious. Click here for the Meet the Chef.
Sweet Elizabeth’s, 4409 Main St., Manayunk
She used to wake up before dawn just so she could go work at a French bakery. Now she has a bake shop of her very own and Manayunk is the luckier for it. Click here for the Meet the Chef/Owner.
