Kensington Quarters

Philadelphia


Nose to tail cooking is on offer at this buzzy restaurant and butchery. Sample its smokey Hungarian sausage with zingy pickles, bacon kielbasa with German potato salad, or go the full hog with the $100 mixed grill. The bar has eight taps and an interesting cocktail menu.
