4 Restaurant Chains With the Best Popovers, According to Diners
I love popovers. My first introduction to the puffy, pastry-like bread, made out of an egg batter and cooked in a muffin tin, was at the Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. The light, buttery taste is almost indescribable. And they are so light and airy, it’s hard not to eat them in multiples. Where can you get the best popovers? Here are 4 restaurant chains with the best popovers, according to diners.
BLT Steak
BLT Steak makes famous giant Gruyère popovers that drive people to the restaurant. They are light, airy, and golden, topped with melted cheese, and are a great starter before a steak dinner. “Quite possibly the best bread I’ve ever tasted. And it was free! They brought it out as a pre-appetizer of sorts and my god it slapped,” a diner wrote.
Neiman Marcus
Neiman Marcus’ classic popovers served with strawberry butter are a draw for shoppers. They are served complimentary at Mariposa, the luxury department store’s restaurant. “My mom loves the popovers from Neiman Marcus,” a Redditor says. “That was the best part of shopping ! Lunch at Nieman’s with the girls,” a shopper says. “Mariposa restaurant inside Neiman Marcus serves complimentary popovers with strawberry butter and chicken broth. They are the best!” a Redditor exclaims.
Popovers On the Square/Popovers at Brickyard Square
Popovers On the Square/Popovers at Brickyard Square are a small New England regional group with locations in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Epping, New Hampshire. The restaurants are centered entirely around sweet and savory stuffed popovers. “You *have* to get a popover (with maple butter) YUM!” a TripAdvisor diner writes. “When I come here, it’s usually for the popover. It’s really good and comes with maple butter,” another adds.
RPM Steak
RPM Steak, backed by Giuliana & Bill Rancic, has signature Gruyère Popovers on the menu that cost $12 and are served warm in a black bowl alongside rosemary Nordic butter. This popular house-made bread course comes with three airy, cheese-infused popovers per order. “I have dreams about those pop overs,” a Redditor exclaims. “The fresh popovers with the rosemary Nordic butter were so good,” a Yelper says. “To start our table ordered the gruyere popovers to share. This was a wonderful way to get our taste buds rolling. These popovers were HUGE but they were also light and fluffy and just enough to satisfy us before our meal,” another added.
