Former Daily News food editor April Lisante and her chef/husband Christian Gatti - who, incidentally, she met while scouting out a “Hot Chefs” feature - are almost ready to debut their 50-seat BYOB Avril in Bala Cynwyd. In anticipation of their Wednesday, August 5 opening, they’ve released their menus. Curious to see what Southern French fare with Northern Italian flavors looks like?

Check out the lunch, brunch and dinner menus. Dinner entrees run from $17 for pasta to $26 for a lobster profiterole.
