• Contemporary American • Blue Bell
Booked 43 times today
Over the past few years, the tract of Montgomery County between Horsham and Blue Bell has become something of a hot spot for exciting new restaurants. Thanks to Habib Troudi, it’s about to get one more in the form of Panache Wood Fire Grill. Carved out of the building that had been home to L’Angolo Blue, an Italian restaurant that closed earlier this year, Panache is based on a “simple concept,” as Troudi says, offering thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizzas cooked in a wood-burning, coalfired oven, as well as prime steaks, seafood and other new American cuisine. Once complete, the space will have two bars, one of which will also house the massive 10,000-pound oven needed to crisp up those pizzas and cook other dishes in castiron skillets.

    Always an awesome experience. Eggplant and chicken wing apps started the night with pepperoni, short ribs, and Kennett Square mushroom pizzas completing it. The dining room was buzzing and the waiter was excellent.

    Our server was a delightful lady who was attentive but not overly so. Food (pork tacos and fish tacos, Brussels sprouts salad) was delicious. Bartender, a charming fellow, made a great Hugo Spritz and my tequila cocktail was also delicious. Atmosphere is as pictured, simple, bright, open — quite nice. So many great items on the menu, we will be back!
