My Loup
There can be any number of hot restaurants in a given moment, but if there is a restaurant of this particular moment, it is the one-year-old My Loup from chefs Alex Kemp and Amanda Shulman. The dining room thrums with the exuberance of a restaurant that hasn't just hit its stride, but knows it. A gorgeously curated raw bar — pickled shrimp, immaculately shucked oysters — sets off an ever-changing menu of potent French-limned cooking by way of Montreal, from the famed gastropod-studded Escar-roll to the foie gras tart and the table-bowing côte de boeuf for two. Desserts — the chocolate cake, the sundae — do not err, nor do its wine list or cocktails, which trend toward canon, but in the least boring way possible. Sibling restaurant and perpetual dinner party Her Place may feel more special or even more uniquely Philly, but this is the room you want to be in right now, week after week — at least, if you can afford it.
