Review:
Laurel is the first solo restaurant venture from Top Chef Season 11 winner Nicholas Elmi, opened in Philadelphia's East Passyunk neighborhood in 2013. The intimate restaurant seats only twenty guests at a time, with additional outdoor seating available when weather permits. A gourmet seven-course prix-fixe chef's tasting menu is available, highlighting unique concoctions personally crafted by Elmi. Though Laurel is a BYOB establishment, its partnership with sister establishment In the Valley allows access to a full bar menu in addition to corkage services. Visitors should that due to Laurel's small size and growing popularity, reservations are required and tables are often booked months in advance. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated and should be communicated to the restaurant at the time of reservation.
Laurel, 1617 E Passyunk Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19148, Phone: 215-271-8299
