Best Vegan Restaurants in Blue Bell

"Charlie Was A Sinner is the creation of plant-based chef and restaurateur Nicole Marquis. Her dark and cozy vegan cocktail lounge serves up some of the freshest drinks and most inventive dishes in Philadelphia. Through the winter months, Charlie’s carpeted and heated chalets have been an especially appealing place to sip hot cocktails served in thermoses and with blankets to ensure maximum winter coziness."

"GayborhoodCharlie Was a Sinner is super romantic, dim, and inviting, offering hand-crafted cocktails and a menu of shareable vegan plates perfect for groups who want to try a little bit of everything (and are always looking for their ideal cheese substitute). Try the meatball & ricotta and the avocado toast for plant-based dishes that will truly fill you up."

"Most of Bar Bombón’s plant-based menu of Latin fare is available for delivery. Go all out for the chips and guac you’ve been craving along with some signature vegan dishes, including the empanadas made with corn pico de gallo and “cheese” sauce with spicy ketchup. Cost: $10.50; order on Caviar"

"Dig into fried “steak” empanadas, street corn, and decadent tres leches at this Latin-American-influenced Center City spot. It’s one of vegan entrepreneur Nicole Marquis’ trio of Philly eateries, arriving between HipCityVeg and Charlie was a sinner."

"Combining her Puerto Rican heritage and vegan lifestyle, HipCityVeg owner Nicole Marquis offers meat-, egg- and dairy-free versions of island tacos, sandwiches, nachos and margaritas in this chic bar off Rittenhouse Square. Where:Bar Bombón, 133 S."

"Fans of falafel and Middle Eastern cuisine can get their fill at this spot that dubs itself “The Original Falafel Restaurant.” Chow down on shawarma, tabouleh, kebabs, hummus and more. Where:Mamoun's Falafel, 300 Market Street"

"Make no mistake, Dottie’s Donuts is not a donut shop where you’ll go “those were good...for vegan donuts.” It’s a donut shop that makes great donuts, period. With locations in both West Philly and Center City, they sell everything from classic apple fritters to options like their glazed gingerbread that’s topped with a hunk of chocolate-apple spiced cake. Open daily until 3pm or until they sell out, this spot’s donuts are consistently delicious and fresh."

"Dottie’s, Philly’s first vegan doughnut shop, kicks up the creativity with colorful, unique doughnuts in dairy- and egg-free varieties like Thai tea, matcha chocolate, and cherry pistachio. There are locations in West Philly and Society Hill. View this post on Instagram"

"We’re glad the team behind Vedge and V Street opened up a casual sandwich place as well to showcase even more of their culinary talents. While the menu might be small, the flavors are big. You won’t regret ordering their version of a Philly cheesesteak, which we found to be the least greasy of any of the other cheesesteaks we’ve tried."

"I came here for the second time last night but this time I brought my family because they were craving gr..."

"If you’re looking for vegetarian Sushi delivery, consider taking a look at Roe Ramen in Society Hill and To Kai Sushi in Bustleton."

"Identified by only a blue door and a red lantern, Royal Izakaya isn’t easy to find, but those who do are in for quite a treat. This tiny spot on South 2nd Street churns out stellar Japanese cuisine that includes unexpected elements like pork jowl and chicken gizzard and standby favorites yellowtail and mackerel. Tucked behind the main dining room, a ten-seat bar focuses exclusively on sushi from chef Jesse Ito, a nominee for Rising Star Chef at the 2019 James Beard awards."

"Jesse Ito has managed to translate his omakase into a high-end takeout experience, featuring 11-, 44- and sometimes 100-piece nigiri platters starting at $65, and even a whole tray of uni from Hokkaido, Japan for $95. They’re a pricey endeavor but the menu also features more affordable chirashi bowls, maki rolls, and other Japanese treats, all of which are made to Ito’s exacting standards with the highest-quality ingredients. Takeout and delivery only."

"We discovered the izakaya concept in Las Vegas and got the full experience in Tokyo, but Philly didn’t have a decent izakaya when we lived there. We heard rumors of the Khyber team opening one in the Queen Village neighborhood, but it never happened. That is, it never happened until after we hit the road and left town."

"Hop across the river to the Camden Children’s Garden, where you’ll find all kinds of hands-on activities geared toward children. There are rides, a train, a dino garden, and plenty of workshops to teach kids about gardening and nature. View this post on Instagram"

"Fun fact: The Harry O’s Passyunk Gardens was created in 2011 for a taping of the Rachael Ray Show. But it continues to be run by volunteers, with plants and supplies provided by Camden Children’s Garden. It's open for visits on Sundays 4 to 6 p.m."

"The 55-acre Awbury Arboretum in Germantown is home to the Henry Cope Garden, also known as the "secret garden." It dates back to the earliest days of Awbury, when it was just a small boxwood garden. Today, the secret garden is full of rare trees like "very tall, old persimmons" and Witchhazel. It’s also (as of 2017) home to Adventure Woods, a natural materials playground."

"Awbury Arboretum, roughly 55 acres in size, features a romantic, English ambiance. It has lush, green meadows, rolling hills, scenic ponds, picturesque woods, and many more beautiful aspects."

"It has been free and open to the public for nearly a 100 years. See the 55-acre grounds with beautifully manicured gardens once home to a Quaker family."
