"Caribou Café is a French dining institution in Philly. For years, this restaurant has been one of the gold standards for what some would consider 'Paris on a plate' in the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. So when renowned restaurateur/chef Townsend Wentz (owner of Oloroso, A Mano, Townsend EPX, among others) took over this Midtown Village hotspot, I was curious to try his take on the beloved classic. The beef bourguignon at the new (and arguably improved) Caribou Café is exceptional. It’s an ideal fall dish — with the saucy, rich, and bold beefy essence that one would desire this season. Everything works well with this dish — the balancing celery root puree, caramelized onions, smoked bacon, and tender mushrooms. For $32, treat yourself (or invite the whole crew) out to a worthy French classic that’s also a Philly food treasure." - Ernest Owens
