New Spring Menu at Bisou

Posted by Sam Bloch on May 15th, 2013

Bisou on Main Street in Manayunk has revamped its menu for the spring. The highlights of the new menu are an asparagus salad, a salt cod croquette, and escargot as appetizers, and an arctic char, pork cheeks, and a barramundi-warm calamari salad. These lighter, more refreshing dishes are sure to please your spring taste buds. Chef Clark Gilbert‘s French Bistro also just got some new outside furniture so that you can enjoy the beautiful spring weather while enjoying the spring food.

Where We’re Eating: Jake’s and Cooper’s Wine Bar

First there was stuffy Jake’s, where I once dropped more than $100 on a mediocre brunch for two. Then owner Bruce Cooper opened adjacent (and more casual) wine-and-pizza spot Cooper’s, in 2008. Just recently he repainted, redesigned, and combined the two into one restaurant with one menu and one chill vibe, which is the best thing he could possibly have done. You’ll enjoy the high-value wine list, the polenta gnocchi, and the brick-oven-roasted branzino at what is now one of Manayunk’s best bets.

Where We’re Eating: Yanako in Manayunk

Posted by Victor Fiorillo on February 18th, 2013

If you still think Manayunk is a culinary wasteland, you’re wrong. Oh, there’s plenty of bad. But there’s also Clark Gilbert’s fine Italian destination Gemelli (which recently became Bisou), and Nongyao “Moon” Kraputhong’s always-reliable Chabaa Thai. And now Kraputhong has added Yanako, an elegant, tranquil Japanese BYO to the equation. The cooked food is fine, but the offerings from the sushi bar are truly excellent. The rolls tend to be complex, which is just the way we like them. And if the live uni and top-shelf o-toro tuna belly are available, you’d be a fool not to order them.

Update: Agiato: It’s Open, It’s Closed, It’s Open, It’s Closed, It’s Open

Michael Klein reports that Agiato in Manayunk is closed again. This time, the ventilation system is said to be to blame. This is the restaurant’s third shutdown in a year and as Klein notes, the liquor license is currently listed as inactive. Agiato is owned by Belvedere Restaurant Group, the same group behind Tapestry which is also currently closed, but seemingly destined to reopen in February.

UPDATE: The wheel landed on green. Michael Klein is now reporting that Agiato reopened yesterday.
