Vegan culture is certainly taking over the restaurant scene. Only a few years back, vegans had to rely on a good list of side dishes on a menu, whereas now, more and more vegan spots are popping up in metropolitan cities. Bar Bombon is a favorite among the great vegan spots in Center City, Philadelphia, and offers an impressive and eclectic menu. Many would say it’s a spin on classic Mexican favorites, as well as other healthy or indulgence-worthy dishes.
