I’ve been to By Chloe in New York many times. So I thought I’d try it in London. I ordered the vegan fish and chips. Not my fave but not bad. There are a lot of other yummy stuff on their menu though.

Temple of Seitan

I’ve ordered the wings and the burgers here numerous times. Always amazing. One caveat; I think one of the locations is cash only. The last time I went there I walked basically all the way from my house and I wasn’t able to get anything. So sad. Maybe that’s not the case anymore but that was a minor inconvenience.

La Mamma Mia

La Mamma Mia is an Italian restaurant that modifies its menu every few months based upon region. Abuzzo was featured when I went. I can honestly say it was one of the best Italian restaurants I’ve been to in London. (not really any vegan options though).

Murray’s Cheese Bar

New York, NY

Cheese, cheese, glorious cheese. Cheese is honestly so addictive which is why it’s so hard to be a vegan but I had the mac and cheese and the mimosa flight. Unfortunately, they moved to Long Island and are no longer in Manhattan.

Batter & Crumbs

Philadelphia, PA

On Saturday morning, I had several meetings. So, I was looking for a place that delivered breakfast; that’s when I stumbled upon Batter and Crumbs on Caviar. Batter and Crumbs served an old classic with a vegan twist; sausage egg and cheese, cheesesteaks, and chick’n and waffles, which I could not resist. The waffle was a little burnt but still delicious.

This cute bar in Philadelphia has tons of outdoor seatings. They have cabins but you have to reserve early because they’re very popular! For my entree, I ordered the vegan cheese wiz sandwich. It combines mushrooms, kale and vegan cheese wiz. It also came with fries. It was so good!

This lovely little gem is in the heart of Princeton. I’ve been here twice and both times did not disappoint. The food and service were incredible. If you are in Princeton definitely go here. Only downside, they don’t have many vegan options.

Vedge

Philadelphia, PA

Have you ever wanted to have fine vegan dining? Well, Vedge is for you. This cozy restaurant in Philadelphia features small plates and seasonal ingredients. I got the Rutabaga Fondue, the Fingerling Potatoes, and Ssamjang Tofu. They also have notable drinks. I got The World is Your Oyster which has mezcal, absinthe, hibiscus, chile, and aquafava. Such a unique drink! The only downside to this restaurant was the portions were quite small so next time I’ll probably get one more dish but other than that it was a lovely experience.

Hands down the best truffle gnocchi I’ve ever had. So cheesy and delish. It’s an antipasti but it’s more than enough for a meal. (I know that’s a major no no.) So maybe split it with someone at your table. You’ll thank me later.
