About
Opened this past September, this East Passyunk eatery vaulted right onto Eater’s List of “Best New Phill Restaurants,” Infatuation’s “Hit List", and Philadelphia Inquirer’s List of “Hottest Openings in Philly.” Chef Michael Valent, a native of Bucks County, spent six years working at acclaimed Cochon in New Orleans before returning to Philly, where he honed his skills under Chef Michael Solomonov at the illustrious Zahav. He then spent four years working at the Good King Tavern, Le Caveau, and Superfolie as the Executive Chef. At Tesiny, he is turning out sublime crudos, chicken lollipops with shrimp and tomato hot sauce, octopus with white bean, harissa, and Castelvetrano olives, Ibérico pork with collards, mushrooms, and butternut squash puree, and barramundi with charred fennel, tomatoes, and capers. Great desserts too, like olive oil cake with spiced apple jam and lemon crème fraîche and chocolate coffee mousse. “No one does it cooler than Tesiny,” says Infatuation, lauding the “chic and sexy raw bar/charcoal grill.”
