June BYOB is a sophisticated French dining experience created by husband-and-wife duo, chef Richard and Christina Cusack, a Level 4 certified sommelier through the Wine School of Philadelphia. The restaurant offers an elevated blend of classic French cuisine with contemporary twists, including elegant tableside presentations that add an extra touch of flair—such as our legendary Canard à la Presse Voyage.

Named in honor of Chef Rich’s mother, June, the restaurant reflects his earliest culinary memories, where he learned to cook alongside her in their South Philadelphia home. A graduate of The Restaurant School of Philadelphia, Chef Rich honed his skills under the mentorship of renowned chefs, including Pierre Calmels at Bibou BYOB, and roles at prestigious restaurants like Daniel NYC, Le Bec Fin, Parc Rittenhouse, and Le Cheri. He also spent time at Michelin-starred establishments in Paris, further shaping his French culinary expertise.

In August 2019, the Cusacks brought June BYOB to life on East Passyunk Avenue in Philadelphia, quickly earning praise as one of the city’s best new restaurants and a must-visit for lovers of French cuisine. In August 2021, the restaurant relocated to Collingswood, NJ, where it has earned accolades, including spots on Philadelphia Magazine’s “50 Best Restaurants” and NJ Monthly’s “40 Best Restaurants.”

June BYOB is a reflection of the Cusacks’ shared passion for exceptional food. As parents to a young daughter and a son, they understand the importance of creating lasting memories around the dinner table. It’s a place where traditions are celebrated, meaningful experiences are established, and guests are embraced in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
