My Loup, Honeysuckle Provisions on Eater's 2023 Best New Restaurants – Philly Inquirer
Just when you think the national food media is done heaping praise on Philly, another best new restaurant list hits. This time it’s Eater’s, with a tight 12 spots that range from Pasedena, Calif. to Atlanta to Providence, R.I.
The only city with two entries? You guessed it.
Eater restaurant editor Hillary Dixler Canavan notes the anomaly in the intro — and alludes to the idea that Philly might have nabbed even more spots in a different world: “If any city has embraced that spirit of culinary experimentation this year, it’s Philadelphia ... (It’s worth saying that even narrowing down the options to two involved much discussion and deliberation.) Philadelphia’s restaurant scene has what any diner wants: a tapestry of restaurants created by chefs and operators creating experiences so singular that they could only exist right there.”
Eater gave the nod to West Philadelphia’s Honeysuckle Provisions and Rittenhouse’s My Loup, which swept this year’s crop of best restaurants lists both nationally (New York Times) and locally (Craig LaBan’s Top 10).
