My Loup sits just off Rittenhouse Square, a collaboration between chefs and owners Alex Kemp and Amanda Shulman. The menu draws on their combined cooking experience into French-inspired market cuisine with an emphasis on freshness, served alongside a full-service bar and wine list. The restaurant is part of Libbie Loup, the Philadelphia hospitality group Shulman and Kemp founded in 2022 that also runs Her Place Supper Club and Pine Street Grill.
Service has become a consistent point of praise, and the seafood dishes have built their own following for inventiveness, even as some diners note inconsistent execution and portion sizes on certain plates.
