Let’s face it people- vegan food is in and it’s DELICIOUS! There’s a misconception that just because something is labeled as “healthy”, “vegan”, or “vegetarian” somehow means that it’s bland and unsatisfactory. Well, prepare to eat these words as we share with you the most flavorful vegan restaurants in Philly!

Diner’s are the best place to get a milkshake, burger, or a Sunday morning breakfast. Could you imagine if you could get all of that at a diner, but vegan?! The Tasty is South Philly’s own vegan diner, serving up all your favorites! Waffles, pancakes, CHEESESTEAKS, and plenty other vegan options are waiting for you! There’s nothing like a plant-based meal to start the day right.
For the foreseeable future, The Tasty is pick up only. Prepare for some bomb takeout!

? Vedge Restaurant
This next vegan restaurant in Philadelphia takes vegan dining to a whole new level. Vedge‘s plant-based menu may seem like a pass at first to those who don’t typically eat vegan, but trust us- vegan or non-vegan, you’re going to LOVE IT. Vedge has been serving us dinner and drinks since 2011 with their chic ambiance and bold flavors. It’s a must-go spot!

? Monster Vegan
Don’t be too scared!!! Monster Vegan is one of the best vegan restaurants in Philly that truly is one-of-a-kind. Monster’s scary good menu and happy hour can be enjoyed in-restaurant or catered at your next party or event! Their creepy cocktail list includes a rum-based Zombie Beach Party, gin-based Corpse Reviver #2, and a tequila-based Beware of the Blob-arita. If those names don’t get you in the door, we don’t know what will.

? Veganish
Head over to West Philly for a “veganish” experience. Veganish holds true to its name with a mostly vegan and partially pescatarian menu. This casual sandwich spot offers nacho burgers, crispy tenders, burritos, sammy’s, smoothies, and they’re ALL vegan or pescatarian! I think we may have found your new lunch spot.
