We had dinner on a Saturday night and what a special, intimate and delicious experience. My husband and I follow a mostly vegan diet at home and eating out can be no fun at all. Here, everything is completely plant based and each course will blow your mind. We enjoyed each of the five courses but the favorites were the cashew ricotta stuffed pasta with chipotle cream corn and pickled radish, the coconut and ginger bisque and the dessert...amazing. The food quality was superb, the service was efficient, warm and friendly. Each plate was a work of art! Go, whether you're vegan or not...if you love fine artfully-prepared food and a true dining experience, you will love it.
Miss Rachel's Pantry was somewhat of a home-away-from-home for my husband and I when we first moved to Philadelphia. The friendly service, the quaint vintage decor and, of course, the comforting, flavor-packed food helped us to muster up the courage to go out and explore the new city we moved to. The constantly rotating menu items suited my terribly indecisive and picky appetite. Every weekend we would make a trip to the "pantry" to treat ourselves to a decadent breakfast and a friendly chat with our favorite counter-person. We were very disappointed when we found out the market and daytime restaurant were to be closed. We have yet to attend a dinner but we're still secretly hoping that one day, the pantry will open back up and we can once again have a good breakfast.
Went to Miss Rachel's Pantry for the first time last night. I have been wanting to go for a while and I have to say it was absolutely worth the wait. The ambiance, and the service by the staff were absolutely incredible.
Now, when we talk about the food, that is another story. The food is on another level!! Every course of the 5 course meal was absolute perfection!! Everything was well seasoned, perfect temperature, with great flavors and textures.
If you get the chance, actually, I would recommend you make it a priority, to book a reservation and try Miss Rachel's Pantry. You will not regret it.
The best food from the sweetest people! Delicious, creative, and cruelty-free. Never a miss! I’ve been eating Miss Rachel’s food since I moved here a decade and a half ago, and she somehow just keeps getting better. Amazing.
There's a reason an entire month of reservations sells out within an hour: it's worth the wait! Every single course exceeded expectations (even my omnivore mom was impressed). The herbed chevre cappellacci was one of the best things I've ever eaten. With its warm, intimate setting and welcoming waitstaff, Miss Rachel's Pantry is one of the best restaurants in Philly—vegan or otherwise.
I booked a table for two and this was the most amazing experience as always.
First things first you must book ahead of time, I recommend signing up for the emails on the website. They are not a walk-in restaurant and while that may damper it for some, this is an experience, not just a meal.
Second, come ready to eat. You are coming for a multiple course meal and you will want every bite. They will also give you amazing rolls and butter at the table. BYOB with no fees! Plus, your meal comes with water, coffee, tea, and sometimes lemonade.
Third, you are coming to a restaurant with atmosphere and ambience. Keep that in mind, it's great for a date, or anniversary, or a great meal with a person you really like. The atmosphere with the other guests has been nice several times when I've gone.
I would recommend this place to anyone, it doesn't matter what you eat or don't. It's amazing quality and delicious food that will leave a lasting impression.
By far the best restaurant in Philadelphia, and (in my opinion) one of the best vegan restaurants in America. I’ve had multiple meals here and am always amazed by how creative and well-executed each one is. The menu changes regularly, but it never misses. What Rachel does with vegetables and other plant ingredients is other-worldly.
Amazing! I was planning a baby shower in Philadelphia while in Washington State. I did not know any restaurants and had guests with very specific dietary requirements. A real challenge. So glad I found Rachel's Pantry. They were so accommodating and filled me in on all the ingredients. We ordered charcuterie boxes and it was the perfect way to go. Most of us had not had a lot of vegan food and were a bit reluctant. But everyone was amazed! Loved all the cheeses, the biscuits, the bread. We were especially fascinated by the spicy "meat". So delicious. Thank you to Rachel and the staff!
Our experience at Miss Rachel’s Pantry was incredible. I have a few food allergies and they graciously accommodated me. I typically can only eat 1-2 things on the menu at most restaurants due to this, and was grinning ear to ear when they assured me I could enjoy each course that was prepared. Not only was the food amazing, but the experience was top notch. Such a cozy location too! We will be back.
Wonderful setting for an intimate evening wedding. Miss Rachel and staff were a delight. As for the food...WOW. Four course meal (see menu picture for details) capped off by a blueberry lemon with lavender frosting wedding cake. Sublime.
Rachel is a class act. She graciously accommodated my clients who had booked (and re-booked) their Covid-wedding four times! She was sincerely willing to pivot when their big wedding became a smaller cocktail party reception. And that’s just Rachel the person. The food was out of this world, and I’m not even vegan! Everything was generously portioned and absolutely delicious - my favorite was the gnocchi and the “salami” made from beets - wow, I had no idea how delicious vegan food could be. Can’t wait to dine at her cozy restaurant in Philly. Thank you, Rachel, for your kindness, flexibility, generosity and serious foodie skills. I’m a fan!
One of the best restaurants experiences ever. This was our second time here, and I can't wait to come back. Amazing food and very kind people.
