"Inside the Renaissance Philadelphia hotel at 401 Chestnut Street I found Chez Ben, a bistro and coffee shop led by chef Paras Shah — who opened Barcelona on East Passyunk but left after three months and is reportedly planning a Spanish restaurant with chef Jeffrey Weiss — where he's focusing on French cuisine with a raw bar and dishes like roasted blood orange duck breast and mussels in white wine and garlic; the restaurant also has a counter offering La Colombe coffee, juices, smoothies, and pastries." - Rachel Vigoda
