Honeysuckle

North PhiladelphiaWest African, Caribbean, American$$$

It’s been a pop-up, a residency, a grocery store a supper club and more over its first five years, but you could say that the Honeysuckle idea — celebrating the culture and foodways of the Black diaspora and their influence on American cuisine — has endured. In 2025, chefs Omar Tate and Cybille St.Aude-Tate seem to have arrived at Honeysuckle’s final form, a fine-dining restaurant on North Broad with walls of windows, a warm interior defined by wood and earth tones, and a four-course prix fixe dinner that includes items like Haitian spaghetti, barbecued sweet potato, and red drum fish with mojo sauce and scallop foam.
