Main Line Restaurant Week

Who’s hungry?  If you are, do I have good news for you: we’re in the middle of Main Line Restaurant Week!  Through Sunday, find yourself a three-course meal for $20, $30, $40, or $50 (depending on the place), grab a friend, and have a delicious time.

In the $20 category is Saffron Indian Kitchen in Bala Cynwyd.  Enjoy a samosa, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan (mmm, naan), and gulab jamun in a pair of these:

These beautiful green khussa are elaborately beaded with flowers and starbursts, and are a steal for $27.  (Still more than dinner, though!)  Find them (or a wide selection of other beautiful Indian shoes) at 786Shop.

For $30, enjoy the many tastes of Pennsylvania at the Silverspoon Cafe in Wayne: a Chester County first course (like the Kennett Square mushroom and onion tart with Shellbark Hollow Farms chevre), a Lancaster County main course (perhaps braised pork belly, spring onions, and creamy sage grits), and a good ol’ Philadelphia dessert (dibs on the spiced parsnip cake spiked with Philadelphia Brewing Co. Walt Wit and caramel!):

Go silver for Silverspoon—and its name is, in fact, Delicious, by Carlos Santana.  A pointed-toe pump covered in pewter glitter, with a 4.5-inch heel and a half-inch hidden platform... if this doesn’t scream “I’m here for a good time!” I don’t know what does!  Also available in gold glitter; on sale at Macy’s for about $50.

For $40, be all classy at the Capital Grille in King of Prussia.  Start with the clam chowder, dig into the 14 oz bone-in Kona crusted dry-aged sirloin with shallot butter (anyone else just get hungry?), and finish off with flourless chocolate espresso cake.

Love!  The Topshoe is such a classic style (perfect for the Capital Grille), but so bright in the blue and bone!  It has a 4.5-inch heel and a half-inch platform, and is also available in green and pink if you don’t like the blue.  Yours from Nine West for $89.

High roller?  For $50, head over to the new White Dog Cafe in Wayne and enjoy Green Meadow beef carpaccio (with capers, preserved lemon, micro arugula, and salt and vinegar potato chips), fresh mozzarella burrata (with heirloom tomatoes, basil pesto, 15-year aged balsamic, and olive tapenade), Cape May lobster-stuffed raviolis (with Pacific shrimp, English peas, cherry tomatoes, and truffle lobster butter)... oh, and then you have two more courses: maybe the Sweet Stem Farm braised pork shoulder ragu (with cavatelli pasta, fennel sausage, pancetta, and wilted spinach) and the three-piece chef’s tasting dessert.  That borders on the ridiculous... ridiculously awesome, that is!

Good dog!  This wedge is covered in shaggy white velvet, on top of a serious beige wedge and platform.  There’s something whimsical yet dressy about it... and it can be yours for $50 from Light in the Box!

Main Line Restaurant Week runs until Sunday, April 29, and you have 23 restaurants to choose from.  Call a friend and get a move on!
