With the spring season just around the corner, some new restaurants are anticipating their imminent openings, adding to an already-robust food scene in Philadelphia, writes Ernest Owens for Eater Philly.
Felicia Wilson and her chef partner Darryl Harmon will be launching BlackHen, a fried chicken BYOB, in the same Old City neighborhood where they previously launched the popular Amina.
Seaforest Bakeshop, a cozy cafe and bakeshop with Korean-influenced treats and cakes, in addition to specialty coffee drinks, will be opening in Graduate Hospital.
A new Italian BYOB, Bucatini Caffe, will be coming to East Passyunk.
Bastia, a new Mediterranean all-day cafe will be part of a forthcoming hotel in Fishtown.
Meanwhile, the old building that previously housed Xochitl in Society Hill, will become Chef Nicholas Bazik’s new seafood restaurant, Provenance.
Chef Ange Branca will be bringing her James Beard Award-nominated Sate Kampar, known for its tasty Malaysian cuisine and passion for diverse community cooking, to South Street.
Lastly, Center City is getting, Mulherin’s, a laid-back Italian hotspot with a focus on pizza. It’s owned by the same individuals who delivered Wm. Mulherin’s Sons in Fishtown.
