Nestled on East Passyunk Avenue, this cozy New American gem serves up homemade breads, delectable brunch dishes, and an inviting drink menu in a casual vibe.
"At this East Passyunk Avenue eatery, co-owner/pastry chef Jessie Prawlucki-Styer is making ready-to-reheat Mother’s Day specials, including quiche and French toast bread pudding, each $22. There’s also devil’s food cupcakes, red berry shortcake, and house-made chocolates. Call 215-551-5000 by Wednesday, May 6, for pickup on Saturday, May 9, or Sunday, May 10. Another option is to order from the restaurant’s pop-up food market, which will be stocking cinnamon buns, lemon poppyseed pound cake, and other pastries and breads." - Sarah Maiellano
"Fond set up a market with prepared meals, baked goods, beer, and wine. Customers call in orders and pick them up." - Rachel Vigoda
"Fond is exactly what you want out of a neighborhood restaurant: it’s a little corner spot with big windows and sidewalk tables for when it’s nice out, it’s always full, but you never have to wait more than a few minutes to sit down (even if you don’t make a reservation), and the contemporary American menu changes all the time, but everything on it is great. If you’re trying to be a little less casual, they also have five and seven-course tasting menus, but we typically just come here for some oysters and drinks." - Sydney McElwee
"Back in October, Fond on East Passyunk Avenue closed for a couple of weeks to undergo a light makeover. And now chefs/owners/married couple Lee Styer and Jessie Prawlucki are making another change, adding brunch to the restaurant (one of Eater Philly’s essential 38) for the first time since it opened in 2009. Don’t look for the chicken liver mousse, grilled duck hearts, or scallops the French corner spot is known for at night. Styer and Prawlucki are fully embracing breakfast foods during their new daytime service. Expect a range of omelets, including one with Canadian bacon, cheddar, and spinach, croissant sandwiches, short rib hash, and a smoked salmon platter. Pastry chef Prawlucki is contributing the sweets, like scones and cinnamon buns. If that’s not enough to draw the crowds, there’s also an endless bloody mary bar, mimosas, and raw bar selections. The brunch at Fond will be a Sunday-only affair, kicking off January 14. It’s on for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday dinner starts at 5 p.m. Check out the full menu: And a few of the menu items:" - Rachel Vigoda
