The Refectory is a refined yet casual restaurant, bar, and private events space located in Villanova, bringing top of class dining experiences to Philadelphia’s Main Line and surrounding suburbs. Our wide-ranging menus reflect upscale, classic, American cuisine under the direction of Chef Biff Gottehrer. A “Refectory” is, by definition, a communal dining room that serves as a place to meet, eat, and drink together. Our restaurant and team have been featured throughout the nation and region, including: Food & Wine, Philadelphia Magazine, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Style, Main Line Today, Fox 29, 6abc’s FYI Philly, The Philadelphia Business Journal, and Michael Klein’s Newsletter. We are excited to warmly welcome you!
