50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Philadelphia

“The Love. was simply incredible! We came here with our 6 year old son. Our waiter was fabulous and very accommodating to our 6 year old which you don’t always find in Rittenhouse. The atmosphere was light and airy and the food was great! Make sure to try their Dubai Chocolate Sundae and if you’re going with children they do have special kids cups and will accommodate the menu for them.“

“Great atmosphere and service. The food and desserts are a treat for the tastebuds!“

“This market was such an experience! I highly recommend. The food was beyond amazing we had, the pretzels, Cajun food, cheese steaks, oysters and more. The people were friendly and the atmosphere was great.“

“A triumph!

Top three best restaurant experiences I’ve had in life. This restaurant has all the elements to achieve a standard-bearer of the best restaurant in the city and, potentially, qualify for the national league standing. The service is at the elite private club level; ambience is rightly detailed; music level and style meets you at the right notes.

One dish specifically, Black Pearl Mushrooms, moved and touched me where I could not bring myself to drink a glass of water because I didn’t want the flavor to disappear from my taste buds.

Focaccia bread set you on the right to have a great meal.

The meal finished with the peanut butter dessert. The chocolate is very well done. It is strong enough to hold its form yet it is delicate enough to melt in your mouth in such a way that coats the light peanut butter mousse creating an amplifying effect.

Biggest tip: get the tasting menu - yes, it is worth and yes, you will regraded if you dont go for it.“

“Fantastic food. Loved their music choices!“

“Delicious Philly cheese steak. You will not be disappointed. a must if your looking for a top notch Philly cheese steak.“

“First time there, excellent food.“

“Riley K was the best server we’ve had at a restaurant in a while, we basically let him order for us and he hit it out of the park. It would be wise to request him if you can. His knowledge and passion for the food is exceptional. He certainly made the experience one to remember. The Dorade was amazing, the skirt steak also incredible. The brown sugar ice cream is 10/10. Not a single thing hit our table that we weren’t 100% impressed with. The after dinner drink he suggested was perfect. Monte negro or something I can’t remember but it’s wonderful. He will take care of you.“

“The pizza was phenomenal!!!.“

“Delicious food, attractive atmosphere.“

“It’s very tasty there, we always order from them when going to center city, definitely recommend!!“

“An extensive variety of tapas restaurant with a good selection of wines and outdoor seating area. A focus on fresh, all crafted with the finest authentic ingredients. **Wine Selection**: A curated list of wines which achieve recognition as the "Best Organic Wine List" in North America in 2023. **Ambiance**: A cozy, inviting outdoor patio with comfortable seating, perhaps with Spanish decor and ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere. **Service**: Knowledgeable staff who can provide recommendations on food and wine pairings, and who offer friendly, attentive service.“

“The food and service were outstanding and the ambiance was perfect for our Anniversary dinner.“

“Such a cute place and the food was absolutely amazing. My friends and I went for brunch and loved it. Highly recommend!“

“I had snapper soup there. It was an 11 out of a possible 10. My wife had New England clam chowder it is (her score system) a 10 out of 10. Best ever. Unfortunately, they do not currently have snapper soup. Missing the old Bookbinder too. Signed, Old Philadelphia natives.“

“Foodie Alert: Go!!

Excellent!! Fresh, deeply flavored sauces. Vibrant flavors, and an outstanding sourdough tortilla. Don't forget, it's BYOB, and they have really good juices and mixes ready for your tequila or favorite spirit. A true gem in the competitive South Philly Mexican Cuisine scene.“

“It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great. Already looking forward to returning and trying other items on the menu.“

“Do yourself a favor. Go to Bad Brother and order the ribeye! This steak was superb. Perfectly cooked, great presentation, mildly smokey. I can go on and on! The atmosphere at Bad Brother is comfortable and welcoming. It feels like you're dining at a friend's house. As I said, do yourself a favor. You'll thank me later!!“

“Perhaps the most magical dining experience we have ever had.... each and every time we've been there.

Magnificent anniversary celebration. Cannot wait to go back.“

“My go to bar!! Baby the 50/50 burger and beef skewers on a Caesar salad are my favorites....good food, good vibes, I love how the owners are always friendly,welcoming, and present amongst the workers“

“This is my new favorite spot! The food is incredible and the drink menu is on point!“

“We dined here while visiting Philly for the weekend. We managed to walk in, but the restaurant is small and intimate so a reservation is probably best. It is also BYOB, so remember to bring a bottle of wine if you want something to drink.

The menu is clearly marked with gluten-free options, making ordering easy. Our server asked about allergies upfront and was confident handling the request when we noted my partner has Celiac (we mentioned it as a gluten allergy to the staff). We ordered the seared duck leg confit and the steak au poivre, and both were excellent. My partner had no symptoms the following day. We did not ask specific questions about shared kitchen space, but the clear labeling and great atmosphere made for an excellent dinner.“

“Everyone who was working there was genuinely friendly and the food is amazing. I definitely recommend the wild mushroom toast.“

“As a travel agent, food is important to me. I not only book for my clients, but I also make restaurant recommendations and WOW!!!!!! This place is it 😍😍😍 I took many photos last night of the food, the atmosphere felt as though I was not in Philadelphia, but far away on a perfect vacation dining at an amazing restaurant. I'm going to post my photos on my business page, people, if you want Greek food, THIS IS YOUR PLACE ☺️ Thank you for a wonderful hospitality and an amazing time my fiance and I will never forget.“

“A very good restaurant. I enjoyed the food.“

“I grew up on homemade Middle Eastern food made daily by my parents, so I’m very picky when it comes to authenticity. I’ve tried a few places that just didn’t hit the mark—but AL SHAM in Chalfont is a straight 10/10!! They serve real Arabic bread (pita)—not tortillas disguised as pita like you find at other places—and their homemade Lebanese toum (garlic aioli) is the real deal. One bite of their falafel wrap instantly transported me to a boardwalk in Lebanon, overlooking the Mediterranean—complete with fresh bread, Lebanese pickles, and those perfect pickled turnips. The meat is 100% Halal and you can taste the quality. Flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. **This is the kind of spot you want to support. We’ll be back again and again—do yourself a favor and try them ASAP**“

“Great Food and Great Service from Lisa! We had a birthday Celebration and it was special evening. The gelato to finish our meals was incredible - we had to try the cherry - perfect with espresso. Highly recommend as the food will not disappoint!“

“The breakfast burrito was so good“

“Delicious food. Friendly people.“

“Everything was perfect from the moment I entered. The front host greeted me with a welcoming smile. I dined at the bar. My bartender was incredibly knowledgeable and walked me through a beautiful meal. Service was top notch. The team work was beautiful to watch. Great attention to detail. The food absolutely amazing. 5 stars“

“We have eaten here several times and have always enjoyed great service and excellent food!!“

“Traveled from TX knowing my husband and I had to try this legendary place!
Ordered a philly, but it was the huge one you find youtube reviews on. It had pastrami, mushroom, cheese, onions, and brisket on a warm toasted loaf. Sandwich was huge! Split it with my husband and we didnt even finish half of our half.
Cant wait to go back and try more the next time I'm in NJ.
Service was great and the deli took you back in time. Only regret is that I didn't order a dessert to go.“

“This is our first time to Philadelphia and we are big Stallone/Rocky fans so we were excited to try this restaurant where some of Rocky Balboa and Creed was filmed. This was one of the best dining experiences with phenomenal entrees, excellent staff, beautiful atmosphere and amazing entertainment with the wait staff breaking into operatic song!! 10/10 recommend!!“

“Killer food. Our group had the roast pork sandwich, roast beef sandwich, spaghetti and meatballs and Triangle burger. All were delicious. Such a cool space too!“

“Our first experience at a James Beard award winning restaurant (2017) and chef was incredible at Vernick Fish in Philadelphia to celebrate Trent’s graduation! I know now what this caliber of food and service means and all other restaurants pale in comparison to Vernick Fish and Greg Vernick(semi-finalist chef 2025). From the appetizers (dozen oysters from RI, MA, ME, PEI) to the drinks and main course were all uniquely exquisite and cannot be replicated anywhere else. The constant doting with new silverware at each course and cleaning of the table was undeniably royalty treatment. Even the bathroom was an experience-I need the hand lotion in my life (instantly made my hands look 30 years younger). The portions, ambiance and service were all equally perfect! I highly recommend you check out Vernick Fish. We will definitely return!“

“We didn’t get to eat at Zahav - but got the next big thing and ordered the Lamb Meal from gold belly with salatim. It was DELICIOUS!! Best lamb we have ever had, so delicious. Salads were yummy, hummus well done and could easily feed 6 adults. So. Much. Food. If you can’t make it to the restaurant- order the kit from Goldbelly and treat yourself!“

“I had the Tomo roll. Best roll I ever had. Great combination of flavors.“
