“Absolutely delicious! Wow. We didn’t even want to eat because we didn’t want to finish our food. 😅 The cowboy steak is one of the best steaks I have ever had and the fries were addicting. The service was incredible and every dish had a unique flavor that kept us wanting more. A perfect restaurant!”
“My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here last night and had the best evening. Our server Logan was so attentive and helpful in guiding us through the menu and our choices. We ordered the wild boar bolognese, the pork belly pinxtos and the pork chop all which were so delicious. The blood orange gimlet was delightful as was the thoughtful complimentary dessert of the honey lavender cheesecake (so crazy good!!). The whole experience fed our souls as well as our bellies. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. The music was so fun and created the best ambiance (from Talking Heads, Tears for Fears, The Time to Rick James — what?!). The owner John came by to say hello and we shared such a pleasant and fun chat with him. I’m so glad we finally made it here and we can’t wait to return!”
“I love this place! Everything is amazing here - the food, the staff, the ambience - don't think I can say enough to justify how good it is! Their cocktails are made so well too! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, just try it all! We've come here with friends and to celebrate an anniversary, but excited to bring others next time. The back patio is probably our favorite place to sit if the weather is nice! We can't wait to go back”
“It was such a treat to visit Autre Monde. What a Berwyn gem! All the food was so fresh and shareable. The cocktails were delicious and refreshing. The ambience was lovely. I appreciated our server sharing details about our meals and how this place came to be. I will definitely visit again!”
“Love this place! 💕 Their quality food is excellent. Dishes are always delicious. Chef take care of of every single detail and food is really satisfying. Come to experience - visit Lizz at the bar - Best bartender ever!! Campfire and seasonal Gin and Tonic 🔥 - 10 out of 10.”
“Autre Monde is a very special experience. Don't let the name 'cafe' fool you because this is a high dining and high quality service where you should enjoy a nice dinner or date here. Take your time and pick from the variety of spirits here. The dishes are so savory and make for great shared plates. I've had the pleasure of attending one of their anniversaries and they certainly know how to celebrate.”
“The chef’s in the kitchen has the Atmos passion for their craft. You must must must spend time and consideration ordering as much as you can from the menu. I recommend getting the duck sausage pizza well done. That’s my personal preference and I think it really brings out the flavor that is part of this pizza.”
“This food is ARTWORK. Absolutely the BEST food I have eaten in my lifetime. The service was incredible and made you feel so welcomed. Everything we ate was cooked and flavored to absolute perfection. I can’t say anything else other than it was all perfect. Highly recommend, hands down the best place I’ve eaten in all of my lifetime.”
“This restaurant was a pleasent surprise, the food is amazing, specially the meat which was perfectly cooked. Dessert was heavenly! And the service was great... all good things to say about it. Go whenever you can and enjoy.”
