Lacroix

Frommer's Review

Another top-notch hotel restaurant, Lacroix offers an amazing treetop view over Rittenhouse Square -- and an even more amazing menu that borders on daring. In 2006, well-loved chef Jean-Marie Lacroix ceded his post to maverick Matthew Levin. Levin turns out note-perfect foie gras soup and encrusts ginger-poached cod with rye, but still manages to please meat-and-potatoes clientele with roasted poussins and jus-dripping veal chops. More experimental diners can sample small plates from his tasting menu: three plates for $69, four plates for $78, five for $85. Dishes here include crispy brik of black bass and conger eel with green tea, ceviche of white belly fluke, and rabbit loin with red grape jus. The four-course $26 prix-fixe business lunch and weekday $12 ($14 on Sat) breakfast buffet are exceptional deals.
