When you walk up to Vedge, you get the feeling you are walking into someone's nicely restored house--and you are. This little vegetable cottage is home to some of the fanciest, most delicious vegan food in Philly. Open in 2011 by Philadelphia Chefs Richard Landau & Kate Jacoby, this is the Crème de la crème of vegan dining.
The unusual layout of the restaurant places patrons in close proximity to the cooks--you can see your food being made. There are hardly any private areas so you feel the honesty and goodness of the dining environment as soon as you sit down.
Though the picture does not capture the essence of this cocktail, it was fantastic.
