Zagafen to Launch New Lunch Option
Since it first opened in August 2019, Zagafen, a Merion Station eatery that offers delicious dairy cuisine, has focused on solely offering a dinner option for its patrons throughout the community. That is about to change.
On February 24, Zagafen will expand its hours to include a lunch option as well. The restaurant will be open from 11:00am – 2:00pm for lunch from Monday–Thursday, and it will be open from 4:00pm – 10:00pm for dinner from Sunday–Thursday.
According to General Manager Thomas DiStefano, Zagafen’s new lunch menu is conducive to both people who are looking to have a leisurely lunch, and the business crowd, who may want a faster lunch option in the middle of the workday.
The new lunch menu, which is available at www.zagafen.com, will consist of soups, various types of salads, including Caesar Salad, Kale Salad, Roasted Beet Salad and Chickpea Salad, different varieties of pizza, the Calza “Calzone,” Salmon “B.L.T., ” Tomato Mozzarella Grilled Cheese, and a Fungi & Mozzarella Melt.
DiStefano noted that Zagafen’s dinner menu will also be undergoing changes, including adding some sandwich options to further contribute to the family-friendly feel of the restaurant. Both the new lunch menu and the modifications to the dinner menu are being overseen by new Executive Chef Richard DiStefano, who is also the Executive Chef at Citron and Rose Tavern, Zagafen’s sister restaurant in Bala Cynwyd that features delectable meat fare.
In addition, to the menu changes, Zagafen’s wine, liquor and beer list is being reworked as well.
“We’re delighted to present the community with a great place to go for lunch,” said DiStefano, Zagafen’s General Manager. “The community was looking for a family-friendly place, and with opening for lunch and with the new menu, we are making it more family-friendly, but not taking away the adult atmosphere.”
“I’m excited about Zagafen being open for lunch,” said David Magerman, the restaurant’s owner. “It’s been a while since I’ve had a good option for meeting people for lunch, and I think Zagafen will be a great atmosphere for lunch for families and for business meetings. I hope the community responds to the offering and supports it, so it can remain available for a long time to come.”
DiStefano commented that in addition to rave reviews on the food offerings, the management and staff at Zagafen has also received positive feedback on the atmosphere and overall feel of the restaurant.
“It’s beautiful in here – the vibe is energetic and lively,” he said. “It’s a terrific place to spend some time with your friends and family.”
