My Loup in Philadelphia – French-Inspired Market Cuisine by Chefs Kemp & Shulman

My Loup: French-Inspired Market Cuisine in Philadelphia

Just off Rittenhouse Square, My Loup is a collaboration between chefs and owners Alex Kemp and Amanda Shulman. The menu here is a direct reflection of their collective cooking experiences over the past six years, resulting in a style of French-inspired market cuisine that puts freshness at the forefront.

The restaurant’s approach is straightforward: a daily-changing menu that highlights seasonal ingredients with precision and care. The space includes a full-service bar and a thoughtfully curated wine list, designed to complement the food without fuss. This commitment to quality and consistency has earned My Loup a Michelin Recommended award, marking it as a notable destination in Philadelphia’s dining scene.

Dishes range from raw preparations like East Coast oysters and pickled shrimp with aioli, to small plates such as sweetbreads with golden garlic and Marcona almonds, or a lobster chorizo sausage with spinach and sauce Americaine. Mains include roast chicken with carrot Albufera sauce, lamb shoulder with lentils and turnips, and steelhead trout with radishes and beurre blanc. Desserts, like the strawberry semifreddo with lemon curd pavlova, round out the experience.

The menu is updated daily, reflecting the kitchen’s commitment to working with what’s best and freshest. Whether you’re stopping in for a full dinner or a seat at the bar, My Loup offers a warm, unpretentious setting for French-inspired cooking that feels both grounded and refined.
