Restaurateurs have preserved their optimism throughout the pandemic and are planning to bring several new eateries to Montgomery County in 2021, writes Michael Klein for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“Top Chef” Nicholas Elmi and partner Fia Berisha are opening an all-day café, The Landing Kitchen, in Bala Cynwyd. The eatery is expected to open in February.

The menu will offer what the owners describe as “light, bright, and nourishing” breakfast and lunch options as well as in-house baked fresh bread and pastries.

The pair will also open Lark, a coastal restaurant that will be located above The Landing Kitchen. This will offer a seasonal menu featuring Mediterranean and Mid-Atlantic flavor influences.

Di Bruno Bros. will continue to grow its Main Line presence with a new Wayne location that will offer a wine and cheese bar, pizza counter, and coffee bar. There will also be specialty cheese, charcuterie, and specialty foods to choose from.

Meanwhile, Avram Hornik is preparing to open Lola’s Garden—an indoor-outdoor restaurant and beer/wine garden hybrid—at Suburban Square in Ardmore in spring, which will be joined by the Chinese bar-restaurant DanDan in May.
