There is a lot happening, as always, with the restaurant and food scene in Conshohocken, Plymouth Meeting, and Lafayette Hill. Here is the latest on openings, closings, and where you can open a restaurant.
Recently Opened
Rocco’s Italian Sausages & Cheesesteaks | Outside Home Depot in Conshohocken (Plymouth Township)
Just opened, offering its signature Italian sausage sandwiches, classic cheesesteaks, and the “Rocco’s special,” which combines the two.
Baan Atelier | 119 Fayette Street, Conshohocken
Baan Atelier opened in early May at the space that was previously the long-running Blackfish. The menu is Thai with French influences.

Unknowns/Not Ready to Confirm
Former Ashley’s Deli
We hear things, but there hasn’t been any outward movement.
Former Pizzeria Uno (the building)
We hear this is close to signing a tenant. The Uno’s sign recently came down.
Former Ruby Tuesdays
We heard something about this. Not what we would have expected (it is food-related).
The Plymouth Meeting Mall
With the talk of redevelopment into a sports-driven town center, any effort to fill the vacant restaurant spaces is likely on hold for now.
