Be a Real Madam at Cafe Lutecia

Cafe Lutecia has a casual cuteness that secures its place as a neighborhood staple for a quick sandwich and caffeinated drink. Quiches and soups change daily, outdoor seating is available,  and BYO is possible. You can picture a classy, French lady in a sunhat sipping a Café au lait (or a less classy American lady organizing her escort list).

The anduille sausage, onion, and hashbrown quiche sounded awesome- but didn’t have as much flavor as I had hoped. A cheesier quiche might be a better choice here.

Though equally simple, the croque madame was more to my liking- gotta love a fancy grilled cheese with ham and an egg on top. at $9.50 with no side salad its a little pricier than I would expect. But you just can’t be mad at Lutecia, with the French cafe style dishes, outdoor seating and friendly waitress who made sure we hydrated, she is just too darn cute.

  • Let’s see. Lutecia, Canela, Tierra Colombiana, Metropolitan Bakery… either Philadelphia has a thing for restaurant entrances situated on the vertex of the street corner, or you and your escorts are naturally drawn to those.

  • Escort list … every entry, starts with a W.
