Vedge: Flavorful Vegan Fare

July 16, 2013 by

Vedge is in a slick Center City townhouse. Don't be scared by the vegan menu — this food is delicious. You will be shocked how much flavor can be created without any of the typical kitchen staples. The menu is full of unique dishes like squash pierogis and celery root fritters. The dishes do not try to imitate meat flavors but rather embrace the flavors of the vegetables. If you like beets order the salt roasted gold beets with avocado, smoked tofu, rye, capers, creamy cucumber. The meals are served as small plates so ordering a couple of dishes is recommended. Cocktails, beer, and wine are available. The service is attentive and friendly. Vedge is slightly pricey but it's perfect for a special occasion.

Vedge: One of Philadelphia’s Best Vegetarian Restaurants

April 10, 2013 by

If you think vegetarian food is bland and tasteless, you’re about to change your mind. Philadelphia’s Vedge is widely considered to be one of the best meat-free restaurants in the United States. Chefs Richard Landau and Kate Jacoby have both been involved in the vegetarian movement since the 1990s. Vedge, which opened in 2011 in the historic Tiger Building, takes inspiration from a swath of global cuisines and combines it with fresh, seasonal ingredients from the verdant farmlands of the Northeast. The results are tasty, inspiring, and even healthy. Landau’s philosophy has always been to make vegetarian dishes work for a carnivore’s palate, and some of the standouts at Vedge include the grilled gochujang tofu with smoked miso dashi and edamame puree, as well as the popular “Dirt List,” today’s market vegetables prepared in a way that brings out their awesome essential flavors. Vegetarian or carnivore, you should try Vedge!
