Today’s lunch at DuJour is very close to my office and is within walking distance. All of the employees in DuJour are always friendly and aim to please and is a rarity to find with most restaurants any more in Center City. The manager (Anthony) goes out of his way to greet you and make sure the meal is to your liking.
DuJour also spent some money in the location because the ambiance is fairly trendy and makes you feel quite comfortable while eating in the restaurant.
Today, I ordered a cup of the Turkey Vegetable Orzo soup ($4.95). DuJour’s cup is larger than many bowls of soup that exist in the market. The soup was extremely good and properly seasoned. There was an abundance of turkey, vegetables and orzo. For my main course I ordered a side Caesar salad-- this is a nice buy at $3.50 and is a very acceptable portion even for a “Foodie” like me! Yes folks, once in a while even a true “Foodie” should mix in a nice salad!! The DuJour Caesar salad comes with small chopped plum tomatoes throughout the salad and nicely shaved locatelli cheese with an accompanying piece of grilled flatbread. The flatbread has a little bit of cheese on it as well and is a perfect complement to the salad because the finely chopped tomatoes become easier to eat when using the flatbread to push them on to the fork! This salad is quite good and a nice mix with the soup.
My companion ordered the Turkey Burger ($10.50) which was described on the menu as White Meat Turkey, brie cheese, mushrooms, ranch dressing, lettuce, tomato and onion. This burger was extremely juicy as turkey goes and the portabella mushrooms were done perfectly as well. I am not certain what type of roll DuJour serves this on since she opted to forego the roll today. Rather than the ranch dressing, she chose the DuJour mayonnaise which looks more like a remoulade type of sauce than mayonnaise. The burger was served with hand cut fries which were homemade—there was a generous portion of fries and too many to finish!
Feeling like I was a good boy for lunch, I did opt for a DuJour homemade chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The cookie was very fresh and I ordered it cold rather than having it heated the way they normally would serve it. The cookie is very nicely sized and overall quite delicious ($1.95).
Lunch for 2 was $26 before tip.
