Earning accolades from PhillyBite Magazine, the relaunch of Townsend EPX is highly anticipated by foodies near and far. Starting this Friday, fans of the restaurant can enjoy a robust six-course menu for $100 per person, back in Townsend’s original location, where it all began in April 2014.

*This weekend’s menu is limited to only 30 guests on Friday and Saturday nights.
“We’re thrilled to be back doing the food and service we love,” Wentz said. “The name tweak is in anticipation of Townsend’s return to our Rittenhouse location additionally. But here on East Passyunk, we feel like we’re coming back home.”
In addition, guests can expect a robust bar program from the dedicated team of professionals and sommeliers at Townsend – equal to or surpassing the stellar craft cocktail and wine selection the restaurant has long been known for.
Townsend EPX can accommodate menu restrictions for gluten-free, dairy-free, nut allergies, etc., given notice ahead of time. Reservations can make reservations via Resy by clicking here and require a $25 deposit and 48-hour cancellation notice.
Moving forth, hours of operation will be Wednesday through Saturday from 5 – 9 pm, with bar service extending to 2 am, and Sunday from 5 pm - 12 am for a limited menu of bar snacks and libations. Expanded hours to come in the months ahead.
