It's a picture perfect match - Chef Olivier Desaintmartin and the Caribou CafÈ. This is the personable and talented French chef who trained at the Paris Hotel & Restaurant School and actually served his apprenticeship in France with the former Jean-Louis Palladin. While the good chef had some notable and interesting stops along the way (Le Bernardin in New York; The Hotel Atop the Bellevue; La Campagne in Cherry Hill; and the Dock Street Brasserie) his acquisition of the long-running Caribou CafÈ on Walnut Street has proven to be the answer to that elusive dream - an authentic French Brasserie in his favorite American City.
