Southwark Cafe Restaurant Review

: Sheri and Kip Waide consider themselves leaders in the Philadelphia farm-to-plate scene, sourcing ingredients from no fewer than a dozen local family farms. Their commitment shines through in an imaginative seasonal menu that draws in the locals on a regular basis and lures in the suburbanites as well. For starters, try the grilled andouille sausage or the steamed clams in a tomato-chili sauce, before moving onto larger plates, such as the mutton with merguez broth, yogurt and mint. Vegetarians will go for the farro risotto with spinach and shaved beets. The portions are large, the welcome is warm and the cocktails are classics. If you're looking for a late-night bite to go along with your Sazerac, the kitchen stays open until midnight.
