Great tapas

We went looking for unique vegan tastes, we left full but wanting more! Friendly staff, we will be back! Small space though and darkly lit, if that bothers you.

Best Birthday Ever

Me and my best friend came here for my birthday and I was over the moon with the experience we had! The food was amazing and there were so many great options it was hard to just pick a few things to share. Ten out of ten experience, great staff, great food, great drinks 😋

Pros: Everything is Vegan, Tapas

Cons: A little pricey

Fabulous!

We were there after 11pm so ate from the late night menu. It’s the first time I’ve managed to get hubbie into an all-vegan restaurant and he was actually impressed (high praise indeed!). We selected a few tapas and they were all outstanding.

Lana Del Ray Vegan Vibes

The ambiance was dark, chill, and so old school hollywood!! The menu had an amazing selection, so I went with two apps: the crab cake slider and bao buns. Both were delicious...I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Philly.

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Cool vibe

Cons: Pricey

Great place but...

This is a great place but the proportions are so small that it’s hardly worth it. I mean the food was very good but it was $16 for 2 spoonfuls of risotto. I’d come back for the atmosphere and some drinks but would have to pass on the food.

Pros: Great atmosphere , Very good food, Great drink selection

Cons: Itty bitty teeny weenie proportions , Expensive

Fancy and very good food. Dishes are a bit too small for the price.

The food was really good. Yet, the dishes were a bit too small for what they cost. Location was nice but way too loud and dark.
Fancy drinks.

Pros: Fany dishes, Nice location, good drinks

Cons: Price, Too loud music, no wifi

Unforgettable experience!!

Walked in and was greeted with a great welcome! Immediately engaged in conversation to keep me entertained while a table was being set up. Once sat the server quickly offered assistance in understanding the menu and gave great suggestion on some of the items, as well describing why he suggested them. Food came out in a timely manner and the flavor was great. You could call this menu a bit pricey, but for me it was well worth it. The attentiveness of the whole staff was incredible. Truly and incredible experience!

Pros: Great taste!, Friendly and knowledgeable staff., Great service!

Cons: cramped space.

Incredible Vegan Bites

This is my go-to spot to impress all my vegan (and non-vegan!) friends. The food is mind blowing. I always get the ricotta and a stiff drink. The ambiance is amazing, too!

Pros: Strictly vegan only, Awesome happy hour, Tasty drinks

Cons: Expensive, Can get pretty busy

Pretty sure I died and went to heaven

The silken tofu/chickpea noodle ramen is a MUST HAVE.
I'm so so sad this doesn't exist in my city!!

Go For Happy Hour

The food and drinks here are straight up delicious, but it can get expensive. If possible, make a reservation, and go for happy hour. They have specials on drinks and food. Any and all choices are amazing. You can't go wrong.

Pros: delicious, happy hour

Cons: can be pricey

I see why they have the reputation they do

Tried to eat here a month ago on a Friday night and the place was PACKED. So much that I gave up and went somewhere else. Tried again on a weeknight, much better. They were still almost full, but I was able to grab a seat at the bar without having to wait, and had a fantastic drink (the Winds of Change) and enjoyed the soup and sliders. Will return!

Good

The ambiance and drinks must contribute to the reputation of this restaurant. The food was decent, but for the cost there are several other options we'd probably consider first next time. We tried five different items and a dessert. The bangers and mash were hands down the best thing that we had followed closely by the butternut squash soup. The mushroom risotto, zucchini "crabcake" sliders, and gnocchi were okay, but not anything we'd order again.

Pros: All vegan, Good drinks

Cons: Pricey for the food you're getting

The best vegan bar

If you are in the Philly you must try this all vegan bar. All of your non veg friends & family would love this place. I have tried everything & everything was very tasty. The sliders & the ricotta are a must try.

Pros: Best Vegan bar in Philly, Tasty food, Great selection

Cons: I wish that they were open for lunch

Classy, delicious, and trendy without the cliche

I have been to Charlie so many times with veggies, omni's and vegans alike. Everyone that I know who's been has loved it. It's definitely worth the trip! A+!
