Ardmore Restaurant Week: What You Need To Know

ARDMORE, PA — Yet again, numerous Ardmore eateries are gearing up to offering their best dishes and drinks for the annual Ardmore Restaurant Week.

The two-week-long event will feature at least 20 local restaurants and bars. A full list of participating restaurants is below.

Restaurant week runs from July 15 through Sunday, July 28.

Restaurants participating in lunch will offer prix fixe, two-course menus at either $10 or $15. Dinner participants will offer a three-course, prix fixe menu at either $15, $25 or $35. Tax and gratuity are not included in these prices.

This year, six newcomers join the event. They are: ArdmoreQ, Buena Vista Mexican, Green Papaya Asian Bistro, Nam Phuong Bistro, Not Your Average Joe’s, and SongSan Korean BBQ.

Green Papaya Asian Bistro, a newcomer to the Ardmore dining scene, has chosen to participate with both lunch and dinner options including house specialty pad Thai, beef rendang, curry salmon, and mango chicken.

Ardmore Q is serving up award-winning barbeque with a sampler menu including ribs, pulled pork, and smoked sausage and peppers.

Songsan Korean BBQ, another recent addition to Ardmore, will serve up innovative Korean dishes in their new spot on Rittenhouse Place.

On top of new restaurant participants and new lunch service, Ardmore Restaurant Week will kick-off a day early with a new outdoor festival. Ardmore's Bastille Day Block Party will debut on Sunday, July 14, on Station Avenue, in between The Bercy and Delice au Chocolat.

The festival will be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Festivities will include live entertainment, music, games, arts, crafts, food, drink and a French wine garden.

“Ardmore Restaurant Week is one of our most anticipated events of the year,” said Ardmore Initiative Executive Director Nancy Scarlato. “Ardmore is one of the fastest growing dining destinations in the area and Ardmore Restaurant Week gives us a chance to celebrate established Ardmore favorites and introduce our newcomers – now with lunch AND dinner options.
