Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Bala Cynwyd

Always the perfect restaurant for lunch. The menu choices are varied enough for everyone in our party. The waitstaff is so professional From the moment you walk through the double doors, you always feel welcomed.

My first time at Charlie was a sinner. was absolutely memorable and I’m still thinking about dinner and dessert post-meal. The Charred Broccolini, Triple Cooked Fried, Mama’s Meatballs and Chocolate Pot De Crème are absolutely wonderful. Everything was delicious and I cannot wait to come back again— compliments to the chef and fabulous service!

I requested my steak done medium well. The first came out rare, the second came out medium rare. I absolutely hate sending food back and I’m never that person, but I just can’t do bloody meat. It’s the one thing I need well. My last and final steak finally came out well. The steak should’ve been entirely covered by the restaurant, but it wasn’t. Our drinks were comped, but the steak was definitely more than a couple cocktails. The food was good, it was just a disappointing first time experience.

The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is pleasant and reasonably quiet. The service was great, and they offer a wide variety of drink options.

What an amazing place! Hands down the best empanadas I’ve ever had in this city. Had the pleasure of talking with Jezabel & Mariana Velasquez along with many other interesting local women for the kick off of Cookbooks & Convos. It was most definitely a night to remember!
