Supérette, a new wine bar, market, and bottle shop at the corner of Cross Street and East Passyunk Avenue, is already drawing significant attention just days after opening, writes Chloé Pantazi-Wolber for Philadelphia Magazine.
Chloé Grigri opened the South Philadelphia wine shop on March 7, several days before its planned opening on March 11. To open Supérette, she teamed up with her husband, Vincent Stipo, their business partner Owen Kamihara of El Camino Real, and Bernard Grigri, her father.
Philadelphia has no shortage of wine-focused restaurants and bars, but Supérette sets itself apart with a metropolitan feel and a hint of retro charm.
For the owners, it was important “to create an environment that welcomes whatever kind of situation you want it to be — be it sitting at a table, sitting at the bar, leaning against the counter, or looking out the window,” said Grigri.
Supérette welcomes patrons with its market-focused space and the bottle shop.
“There’s a big case that features a bunch of locally made charcuterie and cheeses and little grab-and-go items like single-portion wines and beers, Orangina, and Perrier,” said Grigri. “On the opposite side, there’s a bar and dining area.”
