Audrey Claire Restaurant Cafe
- Mediterranean
- Philadelphia, PA
About this business
A small open-air French café in downtown Philadelphia? Yes. Good luck getting a seat. The menu is generally Mediterranean: hummus, olives, several choices for meat and fish, and a long list of focaccia variations. The decor is minimalist: bare white walls, stainless steel ducts, and cool green window frames. The windows are the dominant feature here. In summer, they're wide open, and a cool breeze carries the flavors from one small table to the next. Sitting here is so pleasant, it's a great place for people-watching.

Don't bring a good bottle of wine here – The juice glasses used for wine may be hip, but you can't tell the difference between an $8 bottle and an $80 drinking out of them (can't smell the wine and the thick juice cup lip splashes the wine too far back in the throat--try drinking wine out of a shot glass and you'll have the right impression). Ok, so clearly I have a problem with the stemware. The truth is many BYOs in the city use cheap stemware with low likelihood of breaking during dishwashing. After all, they aren't makin... read more
Must bring a Date to this one! I love the "Pear & Gorgonzola Flatbread" and the small intimate crowd that frequent this place. It's in the Rittenhouse square area so sometimes you may catch the furtive glances of the "In crowd/Snobs" if you're not dressed right.
Amazing food. Great service. – Went to Audrey Claire for the first time tonight after multiple people had recommended it and I thought it was absolutely fabulous. We ordered the lamb and the grilled tuna -- both were delicious. They were cooked perfectly and the Mediterranean accents (couscous, yogurt, etc.) added a wonderful flavor to the meal. There was no wait (on a Sunday night) and the service was excellent. I would say that the only negative is that it is cash only. But, I definitely plan to go back!
Mediterranean-touched B.Y.O.B. goes heavy on the unique seafood creations, minimal decor and wins with quaint modernism. – In Short This is the less-is-more bistro of a more-is-more neighborhood. Dishes here match the decor: classic seafood and meats with singular flourishes. Start with pear, Gorgonzola and walnut flat bread--a visually plain, but pleasantly savory combination of sweet, sharp and rich. Mussels--best in a lightly spicy garlic and chorizo broth--are fit for two. Hearty entrees include roasted half-chicken upda... read more
Very Good – This was a good experience all around. First off, the host was terrific and the waiter was very helpful too. While the place was packed both were pleasant, nice, attentive and honest. The food too was very well done. The octopus appetizer came atop salad, which was a surprise. I was just expecting some grilled octopus in a vinagrette. The two fish entrees - tuna and rock fish - were well done. The seasoning could have been a bit more zesty, the fish was of good quality and well prepared. They both came atop Israe... read more
Best Mussels in Philly! – Two weeks ago was my first trip to Audrey Claire and I firmly believe it is one restaurant in Philadelphia that absolutely cannot be missed. Mussels are among my favorite foods, and the mussels at Audrey Claire were the best I have every had. Definitely the best BYO I've been to as well. It's small and popular, with good reason, so be sure to get there early, or be prepared to wait. Don't miss this restaurant!
BEST BYO experience so far... – Dinner at Audrey Claire's was an awesome experience. Everything you expect in a restaurant exceeded our expectations - great service and amazing food. The interior is strikingly minimal and bare, but I now realize that's because all attention is paid to the food. The Branzino I had was cooked to perfection, it was the best fish I've ever tasted. I look forward to many repeated visits.
overall good experience – I went to Audrey Claire on Saturday (7/14) evening with 4 of my girlfriends. We arrived around 8:30 p.m., and had to wait for about a 1/2 hour for a table. The hostess was kind enough to open a bottle of our wine, so we could have a drink while we waited outside on a bench. We ordered the tomato/buffalo mozz. and pear/gorgonzola flatbreads as appetizers - they were great! The baby arugula salad was the perfect dinner for a warm summer night - I especially liked the warm goat cheese. My friends order... read more
enjoyable.... – Had dinner at Audrey Claire on a Sunday, it was not that crowded and my date was already seated when I arrived, so I cannot comment on any wait or seating issues. We began with the pear and gorgonzola flatbread which I believe was also topped with toasted pine nuts. This sounded like a great combination to me and it really lived up to my expectations, it was also huge. We also had the grilled octopus salad with feta and red onions that was a really tasty dish. I had the lamb with cous cous which I found to be... read more
