1. Vgë Café
Quoting them (free of conservatives, wow -- how did they do that?):
"Vgë Café is a convenient Pure Vegetarian option for health-conscious individuals.
Our Delicious Soups, Sandwiches and Salads are prepared fresh, on the premises, free of…More »
2. Vedge
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 320-7500
Categories:
Vegan,
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhood: Washington Square West
Too many restauranteurs with very well-trained chefs act like there is nothing they can do with vegetables other than grill them into a limp pile, toss them over pasta (with a pint of cheese), or make a salad. Most vegans don't want to eat something…More »
3. Honey Underground
We recently visited the Underground for Wendy's buffet. How I have missed her food. With farmer's markets winding down, she plans to focus more on her restaurant and will be having full course meals Fridays and buffets on Saturday. She is also…More »

Chef Wendy of the fantastic but short-lived Balasia (and also the Green Cafe in Bethlehem) is back.… Read more »
4. Sprig & Vine
I am updating my review after the 5-course New Year's Eve dinner, so wonderful, savory, and surprising. Even the tea at the end of the meal was great. Glad to see this place going strong. I am so sick of eating soy-sauce-soaked stir frys, bland…More »
5. Kindle Cafe
For a birthday treat, we drove 2 hours after a snowy week (30 inches over several days) to get to a Valentine's Day catered 7-course meal at the Kindle Cafe, a vegetarian speakeasy.
Let me explain: the chef caters and teaches and does not yet have…More »
6. Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille
It's my fantasy to start something like this locally so people can see that being a vegetarian is not about deprivation. Blue Sage offers savory, hearty, flavorful food that is simply wonderful cuisine. It seems to attract a diverse crowd who…More »
7. Mi Lah Vegetarian
Philadelphia, PA 19102
(215) 732-8888
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Rittenhouse Square
Great service here from an enthusiastic vegan waitress who gave excellent descriptions of the food. Tiny, with ochre and celery-colored walls and candlelight, Mi Lah is romantic and all vegan now, so don't be confused by the name, although I can see…More »
8. Soupçon Salon by Kindle Cafe
Oh yes, Vince is at it again. Thank you Jesus. Since Kindle Cafe is out of commission, Vince and his team use Manon Restaurant on most Mondays to host a healthy and music-filled salon with a communal beauty to it that is reminiscent of another time…More »
9. Horizons - CLOSED
Philadelphia, PA 19147
(215) 923-6117
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian
Neighbourhoods: Bella Vista, South Street District
I cajole everyone I know into going here, because so many people think vegan eating is joyless. At Horizons, it is an art and a celebration of life and peace and flavor and creativity. One example -- we ordered the Jamaican Jerk Seitan for an…More »
Recently updated lists from Kimberlin Z.
The Beginning of the Week! (10)Good luck finding a decent place to hang out or get dinner on a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday in Berks County. Try these: |
Vegan/Healthy/Casual/Affordable Dining Close to Berks County (38)Have someone vegan in your family or looking for no-cholesterol entrees? Or are you just tired of negotiating? Here is where we go. I *know* some are in Lancaster, the Lehigh Valley, and beyond, but everything is within 1.5 hours from Berks. Vegans can order many items straight off the menu at all of these. |
Under the Sun/Stars/Umbrella (32)Even though we had a balmy, heating-bill-savings winter, Berks Countians are dying to sit outside (and wear shorts and flip-flops as soon as possible). Here are places you can feel the breeze, in no particular order. |
BYOBs (30)If you bring the wine, you know it will be good -- and affordable. |
Romantic Drink Spots (21)May you have a liberal amount of romance in your life. |
Animal Crazy (6)Love creatures great and small, especially in an environment where they will not be eaten? Or do you like going places with a sweet resident dog or cat? Try these. Great for kids too, who are born loving animals in most cases. |
Good Beer in Berks (or Just Beyond) (8)Berks County does a decent job in offering craft brewed, unusual, flavorful beers. |
