Cafe Phipps - Pittsburgh

The service was quick. They offer a wide range of gluten-free dishes and have an impressive selection of wines.

Situated at the entrance of Phipps Conservatory (admission not necessary), this restaurant offers a rotating menu with a focus on organic ingredients and several vegan options. My wife and I both enjoyed the vegan chili, shared an arugula and faro salad, as well as a pesto pizza Mediterranean type sandwich, all of which were excellent. This was the best meal we have had out in a long time. Be sure to double check the website or Facebook for the limited hours.

After admiring the holiday lights at Phipps, we decided to stop at the café for dinner. The Udon Noodle Salad was incredibly delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The vegetables were perfectly crispy and complemented well by the orange sesame dressing. Adding grilled tofu for just $2 was a bonus and left us very satisfied.

Very delicious soups, but 1 of 2 soups is really the only choice for vegans.

Order the Cuban Chickpea Stew, delicious! The staff was very helpful in answering questions about what was vegan or not
