Audrey Claire is a staple of Philadelphia's tony Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. Serving Mediterranean fare that's inspired by the seasons, this intimate corner eatery offers indoor and outdoor seating. During Philly's more temperate months, Audrey Claire's cafe windows are cast open, inviting a warm breeze to fill the space, while outside, cafe tables line the sidewalk.
Regulars recommend beginning your meal with an order of grilled flatbreads. The pear flatbread is a popular choice, topped with robust gorgonzola and crunchy sunflower seeds. Pass an order of salty olives around the table, then move on to a mesclun salad or the butternut squash risotto. As for entrees, the roasted chicken breast receives two thumbs up from regular diners. Vegetarians can enjoy the flavorful penne arrabiata. There are two prix fixe menus that are required for parties of seven to 25; both are reasonably priced at $35 or $45.
A BYOB establishment, Audrey Claire accepts cash only, so leave your credit cards at home. The eatery is open 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
