Updated Tuesday, Feb. 28: Mistral will open at King of Prussia Mall on Wednesday, March 1.

Chef Scott Anderson is set to open a second Mistral location. The restaurant opened in Princeton, New Jersey, in 2013 and has routinely received neighborhood praise.

Soon, Philadelphians will be able to dine at Mistral without traveling so far from home. The new restaurant will be located in the space between department stores Neiman Marcus and Lord & Taylor in the King of Prussia Mall, with an opening date anticipated for early 2017.
