Description: Zeut Alors! Gilmore’s, found in a West Chester townhouse, is owned by Peter Gilmore, a 22-year veteran chef of Le Bec-Fin. The first rate service and delightful décor exude prestige, so plan ahead and bring your best French wine. The place is on the small side but the presentation and the food is BIG.

Love it, French food without the attitude. You have to call ahead because the secret is out about this place

Top BYOB restaurant in the Suburbs. Peter and Sue are the perfect hosts for that special dinner. Very small so book early on weekends. Tables are available during week without a lot of lead time, so give them a call and go during the week.

We would go back in a flash - if only the reservations were easier to come by! My husband's escargot was great; my lamb was wonderful; the chocolate souffle was fabulous. The only disappointment was the cheese plate - the offerings were not varied enough, nor measurable enough for the price. (Compared to other cheese plates in and around Philadelphia)
