Birchrunville Store Cafe

"Wow. No wonder it takes a while to get a table at this place, the food was amazing. I ordered the tasting menu and every single dish was beautifully presented and tasted better than it looked. I can't wait to go back."

"Such a beautiful hidden cafe! Straight out of a story book. The food is amazing! The sticky buns are out of this world. I love sitting at the bar and looking out at the creek or sitting outside. Even on a rainy day it’s so beautiful."

"A top notch restaurant in Chester County. Feel so lucky to have such a delightfully charming place to dine in the neighborhood. I love the creative dishes. Presentation and flavor is appreciated. Our server was a real charmer. She offered to mix us a drink since I forgot to bring my bottle of wine. The boneless breast of duck still make my mouth water thinking about it. I found the escargot to be on the salty side. So happy we got the butter scotch cake dessert! Blew my mind! Very charming decor in a country setting location. The wait for reservations might be long but it's worth it. Have to remember my wine bottle next time."

"It's an absolute delight. Make your reservation!!! Every single dish we tried and we tried to get as many as possible was perfectly balanced, flavor, appearance, and texture. The service was fun and flawless. Location is easy to get to and beautiful surroundings. Super easy and plenty parking. It's BYOB place, so you can bring anything you want to have with your food. The ambiance is also perfect. This is an ultra high value experience and cannot say enough great things about it. The menu changes frequently, but guaranteed they will have many things you will love!"

"Yes. It’s definitely a five-star restaurant. I’ve been wanting to get here for about 20 years, ever since I found it in the very back of a Philadelphia Zagat guide in the suburb appendix! Remember those? Well I now have the Explorer merit badge for my Boy Scout sash because finding this place is no small feat, even with GPS. Know why? Because it’s in a geological hole somewhere in between West Chester and Phoenixville where I could not get a signal to use my cell phone! Anyway the place is charming with a distinctly French feel. The menu included Mediterranean Dorada and Spanish, octopus, halibut, duck. Kangaroo, pheasant and two beef dishes. I don’t think I have ever seen such a range of protein choices anywhere before this. And as they came out of the kitchen each one looked better than the last! The presentations were very impressive. Mine was the halibut which, wrapped around lobster meat, was steamed and sat on mashed potatoes and sautéed greens with a puree of tomato. It was fabulous, the kind of dish you might see in Paris or Lyon. Well done, Birchrunville Tavern! (Even if you are very hard to find.) I will definitely go again. Bon soiree!"
