My wife is a vegan but I'm an omnivore. While visiting Philly we made an early dinner reservation for a long-awaited visit to this fabulous restaurant. Neither of us were disappointed.The atmosphere was great... a converted old brownstone with small rooms. The service was impeccable with a knowledgeable wait staff and beautiful presentation of each dish by ingredient as shown in the pictures below.I can't even remember what we ordered but everything was amazing. best of all, each dish was unique... no faux "burgers" or "mac and cheese", just super fresh, flavorful vegetables each prepared with a distinctive sauce.As a non-Vegan I left full and very happy. I can highly recommend Vedge to anyone!

I always enjoy whatever I get at the cafe or the bistro. I especially like the lunch options. The food is fresh, healthy and there's always something interesting to choose from. There are some nice cocktails as well. I come a few times a year and it's always a good experience. Will be back for sure! I've also had the catering at work a few times and it's great and they always provide extra focaccia :)

I canât fault this place for a very special night. The atmosphere and surroundings are wonderful. The menu has several great choices. My group of 6 all ordered seafood appetisers and steaks- each one was beautifully presented and the different steaks were all perfectly cooked and very tasty. The side dishes are great. We did not have room for desert. The wine menu is very extensive and the sommelier was very knowledgeable

I tried the turkey Rachel and a boxed lunch while she had a sample platter and turkey sandwich. The turkey is moist and delicious without being salty. Donât be put off by the line! Service is quick, efficient and friendly.

This may have been my favorite turkey sandwich ever! Certainly in a very long time and reminded me to some NY delis in my childhood. So good I went back the next day and brought some work colleagues. So juicy and generous portion. Really good stuff.

Husbandâs cassoulet was excellent my steak frites was ok. The French fries ( I ordered them without the truffles so got basic fries. Over cooked and nothing special. The creamer brûlée had good texture, but too much vanilla. Very attractive restaurant, a bit too loud. Good service.
