I’ve only been a few times, but this is my new favorite spot. I love being able to share different plates, especially with my loved ones that don’t eat meat and/or dairy. The potato croquettes are a must every time, the empanadas are delicious, and they...Read More

Cozy, intimate, sexy interior well-matched to excellent food and cocktails. Met a friend for dinner and felt like I'd gone through a portal to another dimension. Once I figured out how to get in the front door and slipped through the velvet entrance curtain, the...Read More

Love this restaurant! We had the zucchini scallops and they were so good. I was totally lost in them and thought they were the real deal they are so good. Love the mushroom pâté. Thought the toast was a little over toasted though. The jackfruit...Read More

The BEST vegan food I have ever had. The crab balls tasted more like crab than some other actual crab cakes I’ve had in the past. The sliders were INSANE. I cannot explain how they get their sauces so creamy but they do. The cocktails...Read More

Absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is dimly lit with flickering tea lights everywhere. The seating is comfortable and tucked away in the back with the option to dine at the bar. The food is so delicious, sampling multiple dishes is recommended among your table. You...Read More

This vegan restaurant in the heart of South Philly has an amazing vibe, cozy dim lighting, and outstanding food. We ordered 5-6 dishes along with drinks, and each one was better than the last—it was nearly impossible to pick a favorite! The servers were incredibly...Read More

Charlie was a sinner. Who was Charlie, why the guilt? Still a mystery, but what is not... this place is awesome. It's moody, dimly lit. The decorations give old-world charm with a modern edge. Offers small plates that are vegan. I had the grilled cheese, omg......Read More

Went here with 4 vegan-sceptics and left in love with all the food. If a group is feeling unsure about the options, I’d recommend starting with the potato croquettes! They’re an easy starter food as everyone loves potatoes and those just bring it to the...Read More

Love every item I’ve tried on the menu but my absolute favorites are the grilled cheese with camambert and pear, and the lamb kofta. But you can’t go wrong! All options are great and the cocktails are pretty special too.

Absolutely delicious food. Service was as polite as you get in Philly! The quarters were close and very dimly lit, so good for a date night but probably not a business dinner. There was actually more of a mix of people there than I expected....Read More

Wide variety of exquisitely done craft cocktails, fit to suit every taste. I personally prefer the Whispersong, but The Cougar is exactly what you’d imagine. An intimate atmosphere, pop in for a drink at the end of the night
