Voting Home / Patou
Nominated for: BEST French
Patou, the second venture by acclaimed Chef/Owner Patrice Rames of Bistro St. Tropez, offers the bright flavors of the Cote d' Azur. Patou is a food lover's dream as much as it is the heart's desire of anyone visiting Old City for sophisticated nightlife.
With Patou, his second venture established 2004, Rames pays tribute to his home, the French Riviera, and his beloved mother and aunt — who called him “Patou” when he was a boy - and serves up European style and nightlife in his adopted city, Philadelphia. Patou is the sultry, slightly wild, younger sibling of Bistro St. Tropez. Patou's 6,000 square-foot expanse captures the essence and style of the Riviera with its sweeping bar, dramatic lighting, soaring sky-lit ceilings, center-stage gleaming open kitchen, massive abstract expressionist paintings and turn of the century French photographs by internationally recognized artists, and private dining galleries for intimate affairs.
Patou's menu, influenced by the cuisines of the French Riviera and neighboring Mediterranean and North African regions, is generally seasonal, is modified daily, and utilizes the freshest ingredients and spices in presentation of its “French-with-adventure” selections.
