The Pepper Mill Café opened for business this past Tuesday inside UPenn's Museum Of Archaeology and Anthropology (3260 South St.). Run by Restaurant Associates, whose 16-year contract with the Philadelphia Museum of Art just ended (Stephen Starr's got that gig now), Pepper Mill is a revamp of the Museum's café, situated to provide a sweet view of the Museum's inner gardens. Exec chef Will Brown serves a menu of sustainable and regionally conscious fare here, spanning soups, sandwiches, salads, mains and vegetarian options; signatures include a mezze plate (hummus, grape leaves, feta salad, olives, cuke/tomato salad, pita) and arctic char with mango papaya slaw. The Pepper Mill, named after William Pepper, the former UPenn provost who founded the museum, is open Monday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Tuesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Brown will offer a light dinner menu option, with wine pairings, on the first Wednesday of each month.
