About

micarestaurantChef Chip Roman’s critically acclaimed Mica is one of Philadelphia’s finest restaurants. Here, diners can expect a daily changing a la carte menu, exquisite tasting menus, creative cocktails, and a thoughtfully crafted wine list. The restaurant is positioned on the cobblestoned, tree-lined main street of Chestnut Hill and is housed in a quaint townhouse. The interior’s intimate atmosphere with sage-colored walls reclaimed walnut floors and tabletops, a large fireplace, and a marble bar top make guests feel as though they are dining in a welcoming friend’s home.

Mica opened in March 2011 and received a glowing “Three Bells: Excellent” review from The Philadelphia Inquirer’s restaurant critic, Craig LaBan, in which he gushed that Mica, “could potentially become one of the region’s best [meals].” Adding, “This was some of the most polished cooking I’ve eaten all year, with satisfying compositions that were clever, intricate, and modern without being overwrought.”

The fare at Mica has also garnered national attention, including a distinguished spot among Food & Wine magazine’s “Top 10 Dishes of 2011,” highlighting the Artichoke Angolotti. Additionally, Mica was ranked #8 in GQ magazine’s “The 10 Best New Restaurants in America” in 2012.
