| Union Jack moderne is chef Robert Aikens’ inspiration at The Dandelion, Starr Restaurants’ smart British pub off Rittenhouse Square. It is a veritable warren of cozy, fire-lit rooms with upstairs and downstairs bars so authentic you'll start paying in pounds. Aikens, who began his career at Le Gavroche in London, comes to town with quite the pedigree. He cooked with his identical twin brother, Tom Aikens, chef-owner of the restaurant of the same name. Aikens infuses The Dandelion’s menu with a seasonal and locally sourced take on traditional fare, updated comfort dishes such as Cumberland sausages with mashed potatoes and onion gravy; beer-battered fish ‘n’ chips; and rabbit pie with cipollini onions, oyster mushrooms and grain mustard. Don't miss the mac 'n' cheese with bits of ham hock, bright with sharp English cheddar. A food-friendly beer list heavy on UK drafts includes three constantly-rotating cask ales. Traditional roast with Yorkshire pudding is available on Sundays and "bank holidays." Try the sticky toffee pudding with date ice cream for dessert. |
