Located within The Logan Philadelphia, Urban Farmer has built its reputation on a robust in-house butcher shop and a unique mushroom program. This spring, that farm-to-table ethos is leaning heavily into the "farm," with a focus on stone fruits, fresh legumes, and lighter proteins.
From the Sea to the Soil
Chef Ingui’s new dinner offerings bridge the gap between classic steakhouse fare and global inspiration. The appetizer list welcomes a Spanish Octopus ($20) paired with harissa aioli, and Diver Scallops ($20/$40) served alongside a bright spring medley of quinoa, carrots, and asparagus.
For the main course, the menu highlights include:
- Laguna Blanca Salmon ($37): Served with a lush mushroom and pea farrotto.
- Moruno-spiced Double Cut Pork Chop ($36): A savory-sweet balance featuring fennel, stone fruit, and dukkha.
- Cauliflower Steak ($25): A vibrant vegetarian entry featuring chana masala and coconut raita.
“Spring gives an opportunity to let the ingredients truly shine,” says Chef Ingui. “This menu highlights vibrant, seasonal components paired with bold, balanced flavors that feel both approachable and refined.”
Brunch & Beyond
The seasonal shift extends to the weekend crowd with a refresh of Urban Farmer's popular brunch and lunch service. Diners can opt for the nutrient-dense Burrata and Stonefruit Salad ($16) topped with basil bee pollen vinaigrette, or indulge in the Peach Pancakes ($16), which feature a roasted peach and apricot compote.
To finish, the dessert menu offers a sophisticated take on nostalgia, notably the Banana Pudding Cheesecake ($13) with banana rum caramel and a Lemongrass Crème Brûlée ($13).
Garden-to-Glass Cocktails
The bar program at Urban Farmer has evolved to match the kitchen's energy, introducing a lineup of "Canopy" themed drinks and sophisticated spirit-free options.
- In Full Bloom ($16): A floral blend of Beefeater Gin, elderflower, and grapefruit.
- Slow Burner ($17): For those seeking heat, featuring Ilegal Joven Mezcal, passionfruit, and habanero.
- Garden Party ($10 - Spirit-Free): A refreshing mix of strawberry, lavender, and elderflower tonic.
