Chef Nicholas Elmi, winner of Top Chef New Orleans, continues his winning-streak with the modern French-influenced American BYOB Laurel in East Passyunk.
The intimate, 22-seat restaurant serves as a blank canvas for Elmi’s culinary creativity, allowing him focus on a highly edited seasonal menu of just over a dozen dishes.
Guests can expect personal, friendly service in the simple-yet-beautiful restaurant space.
Philadelphia Inquirer food critic Craig LaBan gave Laurel four bells, praising Elmi as “one of our most inventive talents in showcasing the seasons through a modern American gaze.”
Laurel is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday at 5 p.m.
Be sure to plan your visit well in advance, as Laurel’s small size and growing popularity make it one of the harder reservations to get in Philadelphia.
