On Tuesday night, I convinced D that we should go to Vedge Restaurant for dinner (gotta knock things off our Philly List!). I may have neglected to tell him initially that it is a vegan restaurant.
Vedge is definitely different than any other restaurant I've ever been to. The food is served tapas -- or small plate -- style, and diners are encouraged to get 2-3 plates each to share with one another. After we each ordered a pomegranate sangria (delish), D gave me full rein to decide what to order, and I opted for two dishes off the main menu and one dish off the dirt list (locally-sourced fresh vegetables; the list changes daily). The presentation of the food was incredible -- I think we both felt awkward digging into each plate and destroying the artful presentation. The way that each dish was prepared was unique and all of the dishes were rich in flavor. My favorite dishes of the evening were the Brussels sprouts (from the dirt list) and the lavender-lemon glazed cheesecake with toasted pistachios. Honestly, I seriously considered licking the plate clean, but managed to hold myself back.
I would highly recommend a visit to Vedge for those seeking a truly different dining experience in Philadelphia.
