"West Philly’s Honeysuckle has been closed for a year, and we suffered from kreyol limeade and Haitian sandwich separation anxiety. But the wait was worth it for the expanded Afrocentric dinner menu served up in a sophisticated new Spring Garden space. There’s ramp-wrapped red drum with scallop foam, spaghetti with crawfish tossed in a savory West African XO sauce, and a juicy, $65 burger decked out in gold flakes, truffle, and caviar. Unlike the old digs, there’s a full bar and plenty of seating in the bright, wood-filled space. Keep in mind that for now, service tends to run long (we're talking a slow marathon rather than a sprint). But you should still make a reservation ASAP. You’ll probably see us there, developing a new dependence on something delicious. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, candis mclean, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler, candis mclean, alison kessler
"Honeysuckle is back, now in a spacious location on North Broad with a full bar. The menu is Afrocentric, featuring a few Haitian classics, and offers everything from griot with pikliz to crab-topped deviled eggs, as well as a $65 burger layered with caviar, gold flakes, and truffles. We checked out Honeysuckle and added it to the Hit List. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve.

"Honeysuckle in Spring Garden blends sleek and sophisticated with decadence and comfort, like the $65 burger decked out in gold flakes, truffle, and caviar. The room has personal touches like an MF Doom action figure above the bar, and you'll hear soul music that will make you think you stumbled into your aunt's house. Everyone's diving into bowls of Afrocentric dishes like ramp-wrapped red drum with scallop foam, spaghetti with crawfish tossed in a savory, umami-rich West African XO sauce, and other plates topped with produce from their Bucks County farm. It’ll all leaving you wanting more —we’ve been known to rebook immediately after our last drop of citrusy champagne water ice." - team infatuation
"Omar Tate started Honeysuckle as a pop-up in Philadelphia in 2020, then as an all-day cafe with a nighttime tasting menu, which closed last year. Now, as of late April, he and his business and life partner, Cybille St.Aude-Tate, have opened the ambitious final evolution of Honeysuckle. It’s an a la carte menu highlighting Black American foodways and the Black diaspora. Look for dishes like their truffle- and caviar-topped burger on a square of milk bread, Haitian spaghetti, and more. Drinks include Champagne water ice." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
