Guide to Eating Vegan in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I’d heard for a while that Philadelphia had an exceptionally diverse vegan scene, relative to the size of the city. And indeed, this was a big part of the reason for visiting the city for me! I found that its reputation didn’t disappoint, and was quite well deserved! Veganism is clearly not a foreign concept in this city and while I only really visited completely vegan restaurants, I’m sure that many non-vegan places have plenty of vegan options or that staff are aware enough to be able to accommodate you. Anyway, here’s my guide to vegan Philadelphia from my recent trip!

The menu differs quite significantly between breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch, but everything is gluten free and organic as well as vegan. Dishes range from healthy salads, pastries, sandwiches and soups to Mexican, Burmese, French and Japanese inspired fare to create an extremely varied and tempting menu with interesting flavours. ......
