Best Restaurants for Vegans in Philly

Vegans and vegetarians can enjoy a loaded pizza, hearty sandwich, filling “steak” and dessert as much as the next guy. Being the foodie city that it is, Philadelphia has ample options for a vegan-only dinner, dessert and everything in between.

Blackbird Pizzeria

Stop in either of Blackbird Pizzeria’s locations and choose from a long list of vegetarian and vegan pies including the Haymaker, made with seitan sausage, vegetables and violife mozzarella. Opt for a calzone filled with violife mozzarella and tofu ricotta.

More in the mood for a filling sandwich? Try the seitan “chicken” parmesan, fried crispy with violife mozzarella and marinara sauce on a baguette, or opt for the Cubano — a citrus-marinated seitan with violife cheese, pickles, mustard, smoked tofu and seitan bacon on a baguette.

Charlie was a Sinner

Head to Center City’s bustling restaurant scene for Charlie was a Sinner’s creative vegan fare. The upscale bar and swanky restaurant offers plant-based small plates and unique drinks from silken tofu and mushroom ramen to potato gnocchi and roasted cauliflower steak.

Bar Bombón

Enjoy vegan Puerto Rican fare in a casual setting at Bar Bombón. The cozy space offers vegan tacos, empanadas and fresh juices. Stop in for a seat at the bar, or pop in the take-out window and dine on the go.

V Street

Enjoy happy hour cocktails, vegan bites and weekend brunch at V Street. The vegan cuisine is internationally inspired from the za’atar and Brussels sprout salad and Peruvian fries to the Korean fried tempeh tacos and sweet potato ice cream for dessert.
