Daily News | Grace & Proper adds a cozy, Euro-style bar to a corner in South Philadelphia
Restaurants can take a year or more from inception to opening. Grace & Proper falls squarely into “or more.”
Fetfatzes describes Grace & Proper as a “vintage European corner bar, with toasts, baked goods, spritzes and wines — all presented classily but super approachable, budget-friendly with casual service, but there’s a debonair-ness about it. It’s proper.” The menu is a collection of bar food, laid out on chalkboards. Nothing entrée-sized. You order at the counter. Share a big plate of black truffle potato chip with Calabrian picante salami, or bread, butter, and radishes, or a peppery plate of boquerones, or tuck into a mortadella sandwich or a bifana on a Portuguese roll from Teixeira’s Bakery in Newark, N.J., which also provides desserts such as pastel de nata and bola de berlim.
Rodrigue makes his own crystal-clear ice in the basement, freezing it slowly from the top down. Impurities and air settle at the bottom. This makes for slower melting and a better drink, Rodrigue says.
