Here Are All the Vendors Open at the Bourse Food Hall So Far

The reinvention of the Bourse Marketplace food court inside the historic Bourse building across from the Liberty Bell is almost complete. As promised, the vendors are opening in small batches over several weeks, with an official grand opening planned for November 15.

When the makeover of the historic former commodities exchange building has finished, there will be almost 30 food and drink vendors selling everything from south Indian dosas to Belgian chocolate. A good number will be fast-casual type, counter-service spots — the food hall will also feature four “anchor tenants” in larger spaces in its corners.

As of right now, at least seven are up and running — here’s the list of who’s confirmed to be open.

• Bronze Table by Vera Pasta: the West Chester producer of fresh pasta is trying its hand at the restaurant game, with a fast casual counter selling wild mushroom-sage ravioli and ricotta gnocchi (to name just two items), as well as Italian wines, and packaged pasta to prep at home.

• Lalo: with ties to Filipino pop-up dinner series Pelago, this counter will also lean into home-style Filipino fare, with inihaw (a grilled pork or chicken dish) and kamatis (a mango-tomato salad) among two staples on a rotating menu; cocktails and beer will also be offered.
• Menagerie Coffee: the Old City cafe gets its second location, and will serve coffee from Dogwood and Elixr.

• Mighty Melt: as the name suggests, it’ll be grilled cheeses with upscale twists — it’s a coproduction between British pie-maker Stargazy and artisan bakers Mighty Bread Co.
• Barry’s Buns: a bun-centric baker. Expect sticky buns, cinnamon rolls, bun-based bread puddings, and non-bun items like Liege waffles, butter cake, and babka.

• Takorean: this DC purveyor of Korean barbecue tacos (with multiple locations) is trying its hand at the Philly market — it also does rice and salad bowls.
• Penzeys Spices: not a food operation, but a retailer — this Wisconsin-based seller of herbs, spices, and spice mixes has a few dozen locations around the U.S.
