I never went to the old Cafe Renata, but a friend suggested we try the new Renata's Kitchen on Baltimore Avenue. It has quickly become one of my top three West Philly cafes for its friendly atmosphere, plentiful seating, and delicious food. So far, I've done brunch three times, and can recommend breakfast burritos, middle eastern breakfast, and almond croissant. The BYO opportunity to make mimosas is also awesome! I keep finding myself dropping in for a quick bottomless coffee whenever I walk by. read more

This place is delicious and dependable. I've been here more times than I can count because the quality of the food. The menu has a decent vegetarian/vegan selection and some unique Mediterranean/middle eastern dishes you won't find anywhere else (I like the majaddara platter). I really recommend this place for brunch or coffee. Some of my favorites are the lemon poppy pancakes, the iced coffee, and the burekkas(pastries). The service is good, the price are reasonable, and the atmosphere is clean and comfortable. read more

I've come to this place thrice now since it's opened a few months ago. Definitely, the brunch menu items are better than the lunch items (haven't tried the new dinner menu yet). I ordered the shakshuka and the husband ordered the quiche. The Shakshouka was amazing, spicy, tangy, and creamy with the perfectly poached eggs (a difficult thing to come by at a local restaurant). But the quiche was only OK and left much to be desired. The next time, the husband ordered the merguez Shakshouka and was not disappointed. I think I ordered the omelet, which was good - not as knock-out-of-the-park Shakshouka. They have good coffee and espresso drinks, a must for a good brunch place. I cannot wait to try their new dinner menu now! read more

The negative of having a takeout order is the inability to have it returned. Took the Tuna Club. It was supposed to be a rare tun steak. It was unfortunately an overcooked half inch steak. The aioli and avocado were tasty. The bread and the fries soggy. Not impressed read more

Delicious food and generous portions, interesting and diverse menu, great staff , good prices, homemade drinks, great ambient, fast service, what else could you ask for? oh yes, one thing: please stop using plastic straws! read more

Came here for breakfast and it was great! I ordered the sangria iced tea which came with fresh peaches and it tasted and looked delicious. I also got the spinach and feta omelette which was pretty good too. Love the area read more

One of my favorite neighborhood brunch spots! The prices are fair. It has an intimate feel. The fruit is always very fresh. I typically get the Lebanese omelet with candied bacon. My fiancé gets he waggle with strawberries. Never disappointed! read more

My favorite brunch place in Philly. I have been here many times and have tried a large portion of the menu, and it has always been delicious. Service is excellent and there is rarely a long wait (especially compared to some other places). Try the shakshouka! read more

Had a delicious first post-quarantine brunch today and had wonderful service from Majo. Would definitely come again.

A great re-opening and a welcome addition to the lackluster West Philly breakfast scene. I've only had the Shakshuka here, but I've now ordered it on three separate occasions, which I'll let speak for itself. The eggs always come perfectly poached, and it's only $10 for a very generous serving that will keep you full until dinner. The restaurant was surprisingly well-staffed on a Sunday morning at 9, and although they were completely full by the time we left, service was quick and attentive. read more

Brunch was top notch - generous 3 egg portions ; pumpkin bread french toast was soooo good ; Cocktails ...we had 5 different ones!! the bar staff knows its stuff: cold coffee to chilled chia blends to spice-y!! bloody mary's !! outside seating is popular. also there's seating upstairs and down ...in Covid-19-ready tables. worth the trolley ride- read more

I got the salmon eggs benedict which was really good but felt like it was missing something.

We dined in during brunch time on a Saturday morning and I ordered Al burger since that's probably the only burger on the menu. We also ordered lemon pancakes it was delicious. The burger took much longer than I expected so I gave them four stars. Service was great. Playlists hat we really enjoyed there was an interesting cover of all 90s classic pop music. read more

Renata's Kitchen - Pancake with lemon syrup - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

It's a great brunch place. I got their lox bagel. The service could have been nicer with the coffee, but overall solid place read more

I live a few blocks away, and this place is my go-to. best brunch in West Philly. The food is always great, and the servers are all attentive and friendly. A great place for a caffeine fix because they refill your coffee cup a million times. I usually get the eggs Benedict but recently tried the Shakshouka because it was recommended by my server Jo and it was good too!! It does get really crowded for weekend brunch but in my experience it's worth the wait. read more

Been here a few times with a small party of 2-3 people each time for brunch. The staff have always been courteous and attentive. I love splitting something sweet and savory and they have a good variety of both. I've had both the Florentine and Salmon eggs Benedict. The eggs are always perfectly runny for me (which is the most important part for me). The lemon-poppy pancakes are memorable as the lemon flavor was delightfully light and not overly zesty. I would def recommend this spot for a brunch especially for West Philly locals. read more

Truly the best brunch in West Philly. Tons of variety on the menu and always fresh and honest. Got a sweet tooth? The waffles and pancakes will not disappoint. Specifically the plentiful portion of whipped cream which has a rich vanilla flavor while still being light n fluffy. And the waffles have a nice sugary crisp to them. Left the sweet tooth at home? Their middle eastern offerings are top notch. The falafel platter is exquisite and the maddjara (sp?) is complex and warming. And oh yeah the coffee is consistently on point for those fuzzy mornings ;) All the staff is very friendly and the vibes here are welcoming and low key. That being said sometimes they overdress the Arabian salad.. read more

I love that Renata's took over the trolley station space; it's such a nice spot for an outdoor meal. My meal was delicious (shared some mussels and fries and had these little kefta pizzas with chopped salad). Wonderful service from Majo (who was very patient with my picky 4yo). Haven't gone out to eat in months and had some trepidation but this was a lovely (and socially distant) way to spend an evening. read more

This neighborhood has a wealth of tasty breakfast and brunch locations, including the farmacy, local 44, and (even though it isn't a true brunch location, but my favorite on the list), manakeesh. With this places as choices, I would go to nearly any of those before Renata's. Which is not to say the food is good, but rather it's not the best in the area. read more

Good food, nice staff, and a clean environment. Food came out pretty quick even during COVID times. Stopped to have a nice breakfast, they have a different and refreshing menu compared to traditional diners and kitchens. Can't go wrong here. read more

This is my favourite kitchen in town wear I cool off especially on weekends, it's a very nice place where the waiter Tom can always have your vibe to keep you buzzing off with read more

This restaurant was great for breakfast but they served my vegan pancakes with cold butter and they did not warm up the syrup. They did not have vegan bacon. However, Golden Standard down the street does have vegan bacon and their spread and syrup is nice and warmed. read more

Excellent fare in a relaxed bistro on Baltimore Ave. A new favorite in our neighborhood. Our go-to dishes include the mussels, rissoto, steak frites, sashuka eggs. Outside patio seating adds to the charm. read more

Maho is such a wonderful server, she made our experience great and we bonded over a love of fries and finding sustainable solutions in daily life. read more

Was so excited to have the opportunity to eat brunch outside this weekend in Philly! What made the experience even better was having Majo as our server! She was kind, attentive, and funny, making us feel comfortable and welcome. The food is always delicious at Renata's, but Majo went above and beyond to give us a great experience. read more

We eat brunch here almost every weekend. The staff are so friendly. Once my daughter lost her baby tooth during breakfast and the staff made a big deal about it, congratulated her and brought her out a special free brownie. read more

I recently moved here and heard about this restaurant and decided to give it a try. I made a reservation on New Years Day with high expectations. I was greeted by the wonderful hostess and was seated immediately. I ordered the brunch burger and it was FIRE! Speaking of fire, the orange juice was pure FLAMES! WILL COME BACK SOON. Highly Recommend. read more

Cute little place tucked into the corner on Baltimore. Service was good and the food was really good. We went for brunch and had a hummus platter and a shakshouka. The hummus and pita were incredibly fresh which elevated its taste. Will definitely go back! read more

Excellent food. Menu is quite small, which I consider a good thing. I've tried most items on their menu and I've liked them all! One big disappointment is that they are not open for dinner anymore. Oh well... read more

Renata's Kitchen - Eggs Benedict. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

So many great food options. Can get a little hot inside when it's crowded. like most philly brunch spots this one is BYOB.

A great first venture into the world after 4 months in quarantine! Majo was a great server, the food was delicious, and precautions were all taken - we'll be back! read more

Great meal!!! Wonderful outdoor seating set-up. The staff did great with social distancing as well. We felt super safe! I had the eggplant halloumi sandwich.. delicious! Majo was the best! read more

Our server Eddy was super friendly, very attentive and very accommodating. Great recommendations from him. We loved our food and beverages.

Majo was the most helpful, knowledgable and attentive server that could be imagined. After months of not being able to go out, I could not have asked for more. She patiently explained the delicious mussels special and the result was impeccable. The warmth felt here, the quality of service and food, and how fair priced everything is. Great place to be, thank you! read more

Had a great brunch with friends in their new outdoor seating area. Moja was a great waitress and the food was amazing!

We love Renata's! We had brunch here on the morning that Philly restaurants opened for outdoor dining. We came with our dog, who wasn't allowed on the porch where the restaurant's outdoor seating is located, but our server, Majo, very kindly served us at the UCD parklet just next to Renata's, and even brought our dog a bowl of water! The food was also excellent as usual! read more

Always so tasty!!! Great omelettes for brunch, and their Mediterranean food is not messing around.

My partner and I shared the kefta wrap and the eggplant halloumi sandwich. They were both excellent. Our server Majo was great too! Will definitely be back. read more
