Philadelphia | Hidden Gem French Restaurant in the Suburbs

Tucked away in the quiet town of Wayne, just outside Philly, this spot is low-key and easy to miss. The vibe is modern French—not rustic or heavy, but clean, sharp, and technique-driven. The ingredients and combos lean American, but the foundation is solid. We visited on Christmas Eve for their fixed menu ($85 per person) – 1 appetizer + 1 main + 1 dessert. 1️⃣ Appetizers 🥗 French Onion Soup – broth made from braised beef, on the saltier side. Ahi Tuna Napoleon ) – fresh tuna with light, refreshing seasoning. 2️⃣ Mains 🥩 Steak Frites – steak cooked well, sauce not overpowering. Fries were crispy outside, fluffy inside—truffle-flavored, dangerously easy to finish. Sea Bass – tender fish served with parsnip purée and beurre blanc. Simple, elegant, well-executed. 3️⃣ Desserts 🍮 Crème Brûlée – not overly sweet, perfect caramelized top. Tiramisu – lighter version, not heavy on cream or alcohol. Subtle coffee and cocoa notes—non-cloying. Overall thoughts: This isn’t a “wow” surprise kind of place, but every dish sits right where it should. Perfect for anniversaries, holidays, or a quiet, refined dinner. Would love to come back and try their regular menu next time—looks promising! 📍 118 W Lancaster Ave, Wayne, PA 19087 🚗 ~25–30 min drive from Philly 💰 Holiday menu: $85/person (before tax & tip) #100RestaurantsChallenge #PhillyArea #Philly #HiddenGem #VibesDining #FrenchCuisine
