Had an absolutely amazing experience here last night! Three of us, and we ordered the whole menu! Every dish was thoughtfully composed and DELICIOUS. The cocktails were perfect as well. The service was perfect, never rushed, fully cleared and reset between courses. Impeccable dining experience.

I cannot remember the last time I had a meal this good. It was so satisfying and the flavors were so meticulously thought out and layered. We came to Vedge to celebrate my 40th, it was my first time there and I am most certainly going to be returning!

Vedge came on my visit to Philadelphia as a great place for plant based food and man was I hapoy that I tried this place. Every dish was amazing. The ingredients for every dish was well considered. We had something from all courses. The desserts were one of the best plant based ones I have ever tried. I could drive from NY to Vedge just for a meal. Take a bow Vedge. I want to also mention that Harry (our waiter) was great. He gave great recommendations. Also, did I mention, it’s not expensive, to me at least as I am used to NYC prices.

Whether you’re vegan or not, Vedge offers a memorable upscale plant based experience. The ambiance is charming and perfect for both a family dinner or date night! The service is unmatched! The team is attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. Everyone on the floor works together and the transitions between courses are seamless. Not a single misstep! I highly recommend the tasting menu with the wine pairing. It’s the perfect way to experience the Michelin star level craftsmanship! Unlike many other fine dining experiences, the plates are sizable, guaranteeing all around satisfaction!

This is haute vegetarian cuisine. Atmosphere is very classy, the service is top notch, wide superb selection of drinks. Very impressed with the eggplant where the skin of the eggplant is made to look like a sausage and filled with lovely flavors and textures. The fritters were another stand out. The key lime cheesecake is the best we've ever tasted anywhere in the world. Reservations highly recommended. Fairly expensive but well worth it!

My experience at Vedge was truly amazing. This vegetarian restaurant specializes in 'chef-style aesthetic cuisines,' meaning every dish is a work of art. The distinctive flavors may require an open mind, but trust me, it's an experience worth savoring.

Just had the July tasting menu here and it was absolutely incredible! Every course was creative, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor from the trumpet mushroom to the strawberry cheesecake finale. The veggie charcuterie and rutabaga fondue was a fun and delicious surprise. We didn’t try the wine pairings but i bet it would give you enhanced pairing with each dishes. Easily one of the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had!
