Score
Going back to 2023, Bruleé Catering has five inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Mar 13, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around three violations, down from roughly six violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Philadelphia restaurant scores 72. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
