This is one of those places that is hard to describe. It is basic, but wonderful. The inside is large, but with the service you feel like you’re in the owners home. Best of all the food is delicious. Really enjoyed their Gỏi Cuốn, Hoành Thánh Chiên, and Bún Bò Huế. Everything was fresh, fragrant, and great. The menu is large so I do look forward to going back to try even more items.

Could a French revolution be in the works around South Jersey? If you go to the movies you’ll find Joaquin Phoenix playing the role of a spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte in the film Napoleon. Then within a 2 mile radius South Jerseyans can enjoy wonderful French cuisine at Cafe le Jardin or June BYOB. French food is an art form and the type of dining experience you normally expect in big name cities. Lucky for South Jersey, they have two great destinations to choose from with amazing food being served.
A little about Cafe le Jardin. It is from the owner’s of June BYOB in Collingswood, NJ, Richard and Christina Cusack who have opened another French dining destination called Café le Jardin – “the garden” – which is a charming French café and bistro nestled in the heart of downtown Audubon, NJ. While you are having brunch or dinner in its cozy dining room or outdoor patio, you will feel as though you have been transported to a corner café in Paris. Enjoy classic bistro fare by chef Rich and, chef de cuisine, Jay Shipp. They also offer a full coffee bar, supplied by Bean2Bean Coffee Company. So don your beret and favorite bottle (BYOB) for your next romantic dinner for 2 or casual meal with friends.
Eating here was a treat. I really enjoyed the Coq au Vin which was rich and brimming with flavor. Coq au Vin is a classic French stew of chicken braised in red wine with mushrooms and crispy pancetta. Every piece of the entree was delicious from the carrots to potatoes, everything was great and every bite bursting with deliciousness. I really enjoyed the French Onion Soup as well. Definitely top notch and one of the better ones around South Jersey. WIth the caramelized onions, rich broth, and toasty bread topped with melted cheese, this soup is the ultimate comfort food and perfect to get cozy with the cold weather upon us now. The ending couldn’t have been any better with an amazing creme brûlée. It is a simple but elegant dessert with a creamy custard topped with caramelized sugar. From start to finish Cafe le Jardin really shined. Looking forward to my next visit for sure.

Was recently advised of a new restaurant Grand Opening that for some reason has been completely under the radar and not well known. Well after my visit there, they should be in the lineup for anyone that lives around that area to try. The service was very friendly, prices were decent for the quality and quantity of food, and they are next to a municipal parking lot making it easier to get to them on the busy road they sit on. The interior is nicely done for how tiny the location is. They are 99% take-out only as it looked like a total of around 10 seats with about 4-5 tables available for a cozy and tight dining experience if you decided to eat there. Tried a little bit of everything and it was all top notch. I had their shrimp fried rice that was packed with shrimp and very flavorful, Beef Drunken Noodles and the beef was a step above most places as it seemed it was fresh sliced and a really nice texture with a good balance throughout, the Beef Pad See Ew was fantastic, Steamed Crab Cakes were good little morsels to pop in your mouth, Lemongrass Soup was very tasty and had a profile popping with all sorts of tastes and nice slices of chicken, Panang Curry with chicken was solid, and the Thai Tea that was given as a gift for coming in and having to wait just a few minutes while everything was ready was so nice of them and best part is was a yummy treat. They might not be well known right now, but I have a feeling the more people who visit, word will get out. If ever around the area, they are a great addition to the food scene and you should give them a try.

Junior’s Cheesecake is a renowned bakery and restaurant famous for its signature cheesecakes, which are considered some of the best in the world since 1950. Lucky for the Philadelphia/South Jersey region you can get a taste of Brooklyn without the trip. The cheesecake I enjoyed was creamy with a velvety texture rich flavor featuring a dense and smooth cream cheese filling on a buttery graham cracker crust. There is a good reason people love them, because they are indeed GREAT!!!!

Many people around the Collingswood area were sad a few months ago to hear about the closing of The Tortilla Press which was around for over 20 years. Have no fear about where you should go for Taco Tuesday though as a little further down the road on Haddon Ave is La Catrina Mexican Restaurant and I think you will really enjoy a visit there. The service is as friendly as it gets feeling like you are welcome into their home and it’s no surprise as La Catrina is a fully family run operation with Jose Medina, Gloria Palillero, Geovanni Farfan-Perez, and Maria Palillero combining the many flavors of Mexico and bringing them to South Jersey. Maria is from Puebla, Geovanni is from Mexico City, and then mix over a decade of working in and around Philadelphia restaurants and you’ll find the perfect combination of authentic Mexican as well as a bit of American inspired meals and tastes here. The decor is lively and adds a nice flair to the ambiance. My meal was Cecina Tacos which is salty Mexican beef with sauteed onion and grilled cactus that was fantastic and an order of Al Pastor Tacos with the pork perfectly seasoned and pineapple complimenting the taco spot on. Really enjoyed my entire experience and will be back to try more of the menu.

Michael Corsetti got a following in the festival and event circuit with his fire roasted sweet corn. He opened a brick and mortar location with his corn being the name and adding a menu of bbq themed items. I had their Siracha honey wings, butter corn, spinach, baked beans, brisket Mac and cheese, whole rack of ribs, and corn bread. Prices were slightly below average which was a nice surprise with so many places being more than expected and the service was timely as they are take out only and had everything ready the exact time requested. Have you ever tried them? What are your favorite item or items?

Sometimes I wonder where my head is at. After a visit to Zac’s I wonder again. Before stepping into their business, I never heard of them and then to find out they have multiple locations and one of them is at Lincoln Financial Field, I don’t know where I’ve been. How can I dare call myself a foodie? This place is AWESOME! The cheese burgers, hot dog, spicy fries, and chocolate milkshake were all amazing. Top that with fantastic friendly employees to go with reasonable prices and quick service, and this place is hard to beat.
Zac’s Hamburgers is a family operated business that truly believes in treating customers like members of the family. Their goal is to provide the most exceptional made-to-order meals and friendly service, at prices that won’t break the bank. At Zac’s, they have decades of experience feeding families throughout Delaware County. Founded with a single Crum Lynne location in 1984, Zac’s Hamburgers went on to launch an Aston restaurant in 1997. The Folsom branch opened its doors in 2009, and the Haverton restaurant was founded in 2010. At each of our family friendly restaurants, guests can expect to enjoy the same great selection of food and casual atmosphere that helped make our first eatery a success.

DanDan restaurant is a popular Sichuan and Taiwanese restaurant based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is known for its vibrant and flavorful dishes inspired by the cuisines of Sichuan, China, and Taiwan. The restaurant’s name is derived from the Chinese word “dandan,” which refers to a type of spicy noodle dish. At the Wayne, PA location the ambiance is cozy and casual, providing a comfortable dining experience. Service was really personable and quick. The food was pretty good too. I really enjoyed the pork-filled dumplings in a sweet soy and chili oil sauce, 3 cup chicken which is dark meat chicken simmered with garlic cloves and basil in sweetened soy sauce, cooking wine and sesame oil, and also decent were filet of fish top with a sauce with ginger and scallions, served over a bed of bok choy. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and a good choice in the area.

Whether you’re a fan of traditional Italian hoagies or prefer something more unique, Jersey Joe’s has something for everyone. I went with the cheesesteak with fries and both were fantastic. Much better than the average pizza joint variety, with decent high quality meat and really good fries. If you are in the area they are a good choice.

Filipino food is a delightful culinary experience that brings together a unique blend of flavors, textures, and influences. You can expect rich and diverse flavors as they usually feature a combination of ingredients like garlic, onions, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, and coconut milk, creating a symphony of flavors. This is a tiny little restaurant, but huge in providing great food and dining experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I had the Seafood Family Platter of Fried Tilapia, Shrimps, Grilled Squid, Salted eggs, Rice, and mini flan with a few pork BBQ on a stick, and Sizzling Beef Steak Tagalog which was really good. Everything was great and would come back again. If you’ve never been you really should visit.
