"This is not just another restaurant. It is an exciting, energy-filled place that
appeals to the eye as well as the palate"--Philadelphia Inquirer

Since its premier in 1999, Places Bistro has created a new style of dining along the Western Main Line. Sampling from cuisines as diverse as Pacific Rim, Southwestern, Indian, Italian and European Continental, Places Bistro brings a more informal, unpretentious bistro "feel" to better dining.

Located in an historic Chester County farmhouse in Malvern, the ambiance at Places combines the old and the new by mixing warm, traditional elements such as random width hardwood floors and fieldstone fireplaces with simple, more contemporary furnishings that feature black wrought iron as the major decorative element. Stunning mahogany-topped tables compliment rich burgundy seat covers and napkins. European bistro art line the walls.

The three dining rooms at Places Bistro are small and intimate, each with its own fireplace. All three are perfect for cozy, fireside a la carte dining or small private parties (up to about 24 guests).Seasonally, Places Bistro offers award-winning outdoor garden dining on our Garden Terrace, recognized last year by the PA Horticultural Society with its Suburban Greening Award for "outstanding public gardens".For larger social or corporate events, the adjoining Farmhouse banquet room can be booked through the Bistro and seats over 200 guests. Call 610-647-8060 for reservations or additional information.
