Probably the most gourmet meal I've ever had and lived up to the reviews. Even my meat-eating friend who came along was beyond impressed. If you find yourself in Philly, check this place out!

Julie

Have been here 3 times and have never had a bad bite. Don't pass up on the delicious cocktails ! The grilled seitan and the shave Brussels sprouts are my favs. The fingerling potatoes are also yummy!

Eater

From Bill Addison's review: "Grill zucchini hollowed out, stuffed with chopped hearts of palm, and glossed with herbaceous green harissa was substantial in a way that any omnivore could appreciate." Read more

National Eater 38 member: In a dish inspired by flavors of a Reuben , smoked carrots stand in for brisket , with cabbage bridging the gap between sauerkraut & kimchi & a strip of pumpernickel crumbs. Read more

Marie La Rue

Memorable dining experience. All dishes were perfectly executed and creatively played with textures: rutabaga fondue , trumpet mushrooms , shaved Brussels sprouts , miso tofu and grilled beets .

Danielle Landau

Rutabaga fondue , grilled seitan , shaved Brussel sprouts , any cocktail , and blueberry cheesecake = incredible! Also, they gave us a few on the house items. Awesome place.

Kim Tumaini Jørgensen

Go for the small dishes. The bigger ones are too heavy (and almost meat-like) and you're much better off just trying out different yummy stuff. Do not miss their fingerling fries !! And the heirlooms!

Richie Stark

Grab seats in the cocktail lounge and sit back, grab a drink from the happy hour list, and enjoy the starters before grabbing something from the dirt list (or those beets ). You can't go wrong.

Trixie

Vegetables are the tasty stars of this restaurant . Omnivores, you won't even miss meat, seafood or dairy ingredients. Trust me. This is not just a great vegan restaurant but a great restaurant .

Lauren Mac

EVERY dish is impeccably paired, seasoned, & served. Quality ingredients shine through. One of the best in the city/country, not just for vegans . Go for happy hour & prepare to be amazed!

Brendan Rastetter

You can't go wrong here (this coming from a heavy meat eater). Landau will blow you away with his skills. I loved the portabella carpaccio , sweet potato pate , grilled Seitan and fingerling potatoes !

Philly.com

Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby 's polished Washington Square West gem just so happens to be vegan . Order the portabella carpaccio or funky kimchee stew . Don't forget about the "dirt" list. Read more

Eater

Plainly stated , Vedge is the best meat-free restaurant in America — and a fantastic restaurant , period. Read more

Anne

Killer happy hour . Great price on cocktails and a few food samplers. The desserts are so amazing and rich you'd never know it was vegan . Pricey after Hhour

Jennifer Kraft

This is one of those rare places where the menu not only lives up to the hype, it's one step better. I live almost 6hrs away and it would be well worth the drive to come again. Amazing.

Eater

This isn't a great vegan restaurant , it's one of Philly's best restaurants , period. Don't sleep on this one. Read more

Raj Sarma

Get a few friends together, come here on a date or come by yourself, your culinary experience here will always be good. Food and service here are top notch. Get the eggplant dish .

Philly.com

At this veggie haven, chef Rich Landau simmers three kinds of young turnips and charred broccoli in a kimchee broth and garnishes it with black vinegar cucumbers and menma (preserved bamboo ). Read more

Zachary Silver Starr

The Pickpocket is a great non alcoholic drink for those more sober types. The stuffed avocado is an exquisite dish...and thats an opinion develoed over 2 night of coming here within a week!!!

Cary Lawson

Everything is amazing, but the best is the rutabaga fondue with pretzel bread -- to die for. If you're sharing, ask for spoons to make serving easier.

Emma Borle

Everything is wonderful! I have never been disappointed in any way. I only wish I could visit more often. Some of the most creative and flavorful vegan food I have ever had.

Stéphanie Nam

Have brought many meat eaters here, and they have all left satisfied and impressed. Everything is intricate and unique. Try the rutabaga fondue and all of the desserts .

Thrillist

Don't worry, their vegan menu is prepped with non-vegetarians in mind. So don't be afraid of the actually-delicious steak spice tofu w/ parsnips & a walnut picada. Read more

T Michelle .

This place is ridiculously good. If you are a carnivore, the menu may seem intimidating... But relax. The food is so good, you'll forget there's no meat involved!

Rob McGowan

A great vegan restaurant in its own right, this one stands out as one of Philly best restaurants , period.

Neysha V ????

Couldn't snag a reservation ? Head to the bar from 5pm-7pm for happy hour and you'll still be able to order from the regular menu! The earlier the better.

DailyCandy

"Order dishes such as Hawaiian hearts of palm with lemon grass corn puree or saffron cauliflower soup with fennel pollen and green olive persillade. Make a reservation ; this place gets packed."

Fodor's Travel

Which is not to say you won’t find tofu or seitan ; you will, but they’ll be starring as themselves, in landscapes of gorgeous produce touched by spices, smoke, and fermentations. Read more

Kelly Melissa

Everything was amazing! The elder sage is one of the best drinks that I have ever had. The corn and fingerling potatoes are to die for. You can't go wrong!

Philadelphia Magazine

If you haven’t yet experienced what this kitchen can do with something as simple as a radish or a carrot , you owe it to yourself to go right now. Read more

Seth Bannon

An experience. Simply phenomenal vegan / vegetarian cuisine . You'll find yourself asking after every dish, "how did they do this?"

CITY GRIT

If you don't make a reservation , arrive early (and by early we mean 5pm sharp) and grab a seat at the bar . Do not miss the Grilled Seitan – we couldn’t believe it wasn’t chicken !

HomeSpeakeasy

With an all-vegetarian menu that can satisfy even the most adamant carnivore, Vedge has also managed to put together a great cocktail list . Grab a drink and relax in the gorgeous cocktail lounge !

CITY GRIT

We never thought we'd LOVE a vegan meal which is why we should never say never. We LOVED every morsel of every dish we tried on our visit to Chefs/Owners Richard Landau & Kate Jacoby 's restaurant .

Adam Averay

It really does live up to the hype. If you're still hesitant about the whole "vegan " thing go with the seitan , looks and tastes just like grilled chicken !

Michael Seymour Blake

Portions are on the smaller side, but everything was delicious. Specifically, I'd recommend the roasted maitake mushroom . Also, their vegan cheesecake is great.

SymbioticPhoto.com

Great place to get a top notch meal. I was in town on business and found close parking ~$10 and walked over. Food * drinks were fresh, presented well , and delicious. Left full and great service.

Reserve

The Fancy Radishes  are thinly sliced and tossed with shishito pepper , avocado , pickled tofu , smoked tamari and nori . Read more

Talia Goldberg

The best veggie restaurant I've ever been to. And one of the best restaurants in Philly. Get the crispy cauliflower and eggplant braciole

Rachel Shifman

Inventive and flavorful dishes with excellent service. My favorite dessert was by far the smokey toffee pudding

Thomas Jansen

Don't make a late reservation or you'll be rushed out the door. Delicious, but they even tried to take a drink before it was done, not to mention delivering dessert and the check at the same time!

angela gaylor

This is maybe the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to. Everything is great, but get the wood roasted carrot !

Khürt Williams

Everything is good. The mushrooms . The sorbet . The ice cream .

vegansaurus

Downright maniacally good vegan food . Very upscale . The environment is as un-hippie as can be. The chocolate pot de creme is out of control!

Marissa Mantissa

The spicy tofu is to die for, and try some items of the 'dirt list '! This place is a vegan 's dream, love my new favorite restaurant in Philly!

Ritik Dholakia

One of the most inventive and consistently good restaurants I’ve ever been to. Recommend!

Taylor Hartzel

Amazing, unique vegetarian dishes which leave you satisfied but not stuffed

carla borsoi

Amazing service & wonderful cocktails . Ask to sit by the fireplace when it's cold outside.

Kristin Flip Polidoro

All veggies . All amazing. And filling! Salted beets , Brussels sprouts . Corn salad . Sweet potato pâté . Everything.

Casey

Amazing vegan restaurant . Make a reservation if you want dinner . Or just stop by the bar for great cocktails .
