"All-day spots require a lot of upkeep: consistent service no matter the hour, and food people want to eat no matter the meal. Renata’s Kitchen in University City has both. It’s open in the mornings when students, local families, and doctors come in with a mission for the spinach omelet and falafel wrap to get them through the day. On the weekends, it’s slower paced, and ideal for peppery shakshuka and comforting lentil soups. From the smoky merguez topped with Moroccan salsa to the slow-braised lamb shoulder in a barberry jus, the food has flair whenever you’re there. " - alison kessler, candis mclean
