Join NOORD eetcafe owner and head chef Joncarl Lachman, along with accompanying chef Malik Ali, for a five-course, pop-up experience on the rooftop at Irwin's.
NOORD eetcafe is a classic bistro with a Dutch and Northern European focus. The restaurant features locally-farmed produce and meats. Their bread and desserts are made in-house and they smoke and cure their own fish and meats. NOORD has won Philadelphia Magazine's Best Bread multiple times.
This pop-up will run from July 3rd to July 5th, with two seatings per night. Each seating will be capped at 25 guests to allow for safe social distancing, and individual parties are limited to 6 people or less. The ticket price includes a five-course meal (menu below) with beer, wine and cocktails sold a la carte from Irwin's. BYOB is not permitted for this event.
NOORD will be donating a portion of proceeds to Everybody Eats Philly, an organization that seeks to provide fresh food to communities that are facing food insecurity.
*A camera crew will be present for the 5pm seating on July 5th. By signing up for this seating, you agree to be filmed*
