What's good and open on Sunday near Haverford College?

[tmphelan]

Hi,

I'm a student at Haverford College, and my parents are coming into town this Sunday night. I want to show them some place good, and we like to go to all sorts of places. let me know, thanks!

I like Fellini in Ardmore for Italian, big food, not big prices. I would second Nectar in Berwyn for more upscale Asian. I also like DuJour but I'm not sure they go beyond brunch on Sundays. Flemings and Susanna Foo are solid choices in the Radnor Financial Center.

Correction:
I think the restaurant some other posters referred to as Mediterra in Bryn Mawr is, in actuality, the Mediterranean Grill (just in case you are looking for the phone number) but they are not open on Sundays or I would have strongly recommneded them.

oh, how embarrassing. I thought I was remembering the name properly but apparently I've been off campus too long. Just a question- what do you usually get and what would you recommend?

[vicarious]

In addition to the places already mentioned, your family might enjoy Carmine's Creole in Bryn Mawr. If you like upscale Asian, I would choose Susanna Foo's in St. David's, Margaret Kuo's in Wayne, or Nectar in Berwyn over Yang Ming (although Yang Ming is the closest to campus and not bad, I like the others better).

Sola is terrific, but they aren't open on Sundays (as far as I know). Lourdas (Greek) in Bryn Mawr is open on Sundays for dinner and is BYO if that interests you. The food there is good and not terribly expensive. I've never been, but what about DuJour (across from the college)? I thought that they've recently added seating.

Lourdas is quite lovely, although warning, it's cash only (or it was last semester). Unfortunately, I'm over at Bryn Mawr, and technically in Rome at the moment, so I'm not sure what's open on Sundays, but Tango is the standard parental credit card place (just down the street from Lourdas by the train tracks.) There's a good Indian place tucked into the side strip mall with the DSW off Lancaster that's a little closer, as well. Medaterra turns out the closest thing to Persian food (especially try the fesenjem sauce with walnuts and pomegranate) in the area, although if you appreciate garlic, make sure they know that, as the yogurt dip was a little lame last time around.

If you do go to Yangming, post a review, I need a new place to try in the area too!

Where is Medaterra ?? I go to the Persian Grill near Plymouth Whitemarsh / Roxboro and enjoy the food there (especially when the Tah Dig has not been snapped up by a regular ...)

[chocolatstiletto]

Haha, well, if you're completely obsessed with persian food, this might seriously be tame- but hey, strike up a conversation with the chef! Maybe it's gotten more adventurous since last semester, too. At any rate it's on Lancaster in Bryn Mawr, left side of the street if you're leaving Philly, solid orange awning, I think. Sorry, I'm in Rome at the moment or I'd get the exact address- any one else have any thoughts?

Last time I checked, Sola is open on Sundays.

Blush in Rosemont is very close by.
Flemings for steaks in Radnor is also quite close.
If you have a car, Nectar in Berwyn isn't very far and your folks will think it is "Wow!"

I'd skip Blush.

In my opinion, a very fine restaurant near Haverford College is Sola.

jw:
I wish you were right about Sola being open on Sundays but unless they just recently decided to do it, I am afraid they are dark on Sundays. (sigh!)

Well, my friends frequently say the following about me: often wrong but never in doubt. :-)

You are right: only open Tu – Sat

We like Yang Ming in Bryn Mawr. It's much more than the usual Chinese restaurant; they have salads, great soft-shell crabs, meat dishes, etc. in a very nice atmosphere.

It is very popular, so call and make a reservation. You can get directions from Google.
