4 New Ardmore Eateries Among Best On Main Line: Main Line Today

ARDMORE, PA — 2019 is in full swing, so you may want to try some new restaurants in the area that you've held out on. And according to Main Line Today, four of the best new eateries on the Main Line are in Ardmore.

The publication released its 25 Best New Restaurants in Philadelphia’s Western Suburbs list recently.

In Ardmore, The Bercy, Ripplewood Whiskey & Craft, Lavi BYOB, and Nam Phuong Bistro made the cut.

Here's what the outlet says about The Bercy:

Located in the once-imposing century-old Haverford Trust building, this glam 10,000 square-foot French-style brasserie was easily the most anticipated Main Line debut of 2018. Chef Joe Monnich specializes in classics like steak frites, a French onion soup topped with Gruyere, mouthwatering duck a l’orange and succulent rotisserie fare. The hexagon-shaped tiles downstairs impart a steakhouse vibe, while the upstairs mezzanine offers salon-like sophistication.

And here's the rundown of Ripplewood:

Peter Martin chose to remain true to his dual inspiration: A long-gone dive bar from his youth in Elkins Park and the Grateful Dead song “Ripple.” His many loyal customers are now the beneficiaries of this quirky-cozy speakeasy nostalgia trip—plus the kitchen prowess of chef Bill Gottehrer and the virtuosity of Ripplewood’s mixologists. Patrons can nosh on such worthwhile indulgences as a double-patty burger, Fontina- and brisket-covered Ripp Fries, and the award-winning Tongue & Cheek Tacos.

Check out their write up on Nam Phuong:

Conveniently situated in the shadow of the new Ardmore Place, this recent addition is an offshoot of the original Nam Phuong in South Philly. The Vietnamese headliner is the lemongrass-accented silken rice vermicelli noodles with an assortment of succulent meats, poultry or seafood—a beefy pho providing the most flavor and depth. Broken rice and soft egg-noodle stir-fries accentuate the menu, as do spicy beef and vegetarian dishes.

And lastly, here's the bit on Lavi:

At this charming new farm-to-table café, Khadijah Bush and Aziza Young excel at global comfort cuisine. Young’s butternut squash ravioli, butter-poached shrimp and grits, polenta with duck drumettes, and vegan scallop stir-fry are all deftly executed and utterly delicious. This adorable—and affordable—little sleeper is one of the year’s biggest surprises.
