Valanni, Philadelphia, PA

After an evening show in Philly, walking distance from The Academy of Music, we had dinner at Valanni, a shiek restaurant with modern mediterranean-latin taps and signature dishes.
If you are looking for exquisite flavors and something new, definitely make your way to 1229 Spruce Street. The food is impressive and elegant yet approachable and comforting.

Valanni, Philadelphia, PA



My favorite: Grilled Romaine Salad with Smoked Treviso, Polenta Croutons, Manchego, Bacon and Chipotle Caesar Dressing.

The ground lamb albondigas in guindilla saffron-almond cream sauce were
tender and tasty.

Grilled Octopus with sundried tomato, fennel, olives, ancho-chili spice rub with smoked paprika and crispy potatoes.

Naked, Chocolate Cafe, Philadephia, PA


When its freezing cold outside there is nothing like stepping into a cafe with the sweet smell of chocolate and coffee lingering in the air and the promise of rich warmth from a cup of Hot Chocolate. Stumbling upon Naked, Chocolate Cafe was no different from stepping into a french cafe in Paris.
