After a decade in Chicago, native Philadelphian Joncarl Lachman has made his homecoming count with an intimate, Dutch-influenced bistro that captures the best of our BYO scene.

Lachman's "eetcafe" eschews trendy "new Nordic" cuisine for a more rustic take on Northern European cooking, from grill-marked house barley bread to rabbit smothered in zuurkool, and vibrant mustard soup with scallops and caviar.

Noord's brunch is also distinctive, from the smoked brisket hash to a rabbit-bean frittata, chicken with eggs in Suriname curry, and hot fresh stroopwafel wafers for dessert stuffed with warm spiced molasses.
