Danlu Gastropub
[edit]Danlu was an esteemed two-story French-Asian gastropub situated in the vibrant University City neighborhood of Philadelphia, along Market Street.[1] This marked the second venture in Pennsylvania for the late renowned chef Patrick Feury, whose first restaurant, Nectar, had been a beloved establishment for 13 years prior to the opening of Danlu.[2]
In 2015, Chef Feury, alongside partners Henry Chu, Michael Wei, and Kenny Huang, embarked on a research trip to China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to explore culinary influences for their new venture. Upon their return, they drew inspiration from the vibrant atmosphere of night markets for the restaurant's design and menu.[3]
Michael Wei, having grown up in Taiwan, played a pivotal role in shaping the menu, which was further refined under the expertise of head chef Michael Cooperman, formerly of New York City's Red Cat.[4]
Danlu officially opened its doors on December 6, 2017. The gastropub offered a menu similar to that of Nectar but with a more contemporary and youthful ambiance, designed to appeal to students from the nearby Drexel University and University of Pennsylvania campuses. The bar featured an impressive selection of 20 craft beer taps, complemented by a curated selection of wines and seasonal cocktails.[5]
Closure
[edit]Despite receiving consistently positive reviews and establishing a loyal following, Danlu was unfortunately unable to weather the challenges posed by the pandemic and was forced to close its doors in 2020.[6]
