The 13 Best Restaurants In America - The Infatuation

"There’s nothing else in Philly quite like Provenance, a restaurant that serves a $225 tasting menu that shows off 25-ish pristine French-Korean dishes. This is food in HD—you can taste every element of the lineup, which includes velvety uni with buttercup squash and ruby red bluefin tuna topped with foie gras and black truffle. An 11-seat soapstone counter where chefs hand out three-bite portions could easily feel serious. But Provenance gets loud and lively, thanks to Motown music, an open kitchen, and couples polishing off their wine pairings with fermented satsuma plums. If you’re a French mother sauce aficionado, the food alone warrants an immediate visit. But if you aren’t, you should still go. Provenance is the best dining experience you’re going to have in a town that’s full of them." - arden shore, team infatuation
