Bar Bombon is food for life. All of our dishes are made with plant-based ingredients. No animal products are used. And since homemade tortillas still make a better taco, we make them the old way, like abuela did.
¡Buen provecho!

    We’ve been several times and love the food and drinks. But the noise level inside is so loud that it’s difficult to hold a conversation. It’s uncomfortable at times. They desperately need some noise baffles. Maybe go when they open so hopefully there will be less people with whom to compete being heard.

    I feel like the food has been better in the past! I was not a fan of the chorizo beef nachos this time. Way too much cheese sauce and not enough of the beef. Disappointing. Drinks were delicious.

    I really enjoyed it. Decadent. A vegan friend introduced me to Bar Bonbon, but even heavy meat eaters would be satisfied. I had a faux fish taco, with jackfruit, that was juicy and savory and delicious. I also had a very tasty mimosa for Sunday brunch. Dessert was a bananas Foster empanada--also excellent--and I had a taste of my friend's yummy Tres Leches cake. Decor is beautiful, mix of San Juan, Puerto Rico tiles, light and cozy. I'm looking forward to going back!

    We’ve been coming here for many years. Needed a quick vegan meal before a show. We were seated promptly and our waiter came right over. Told him we were in a hurry and he made certain our food got in quickly. The food is vegan but non-vegans will enjoy it too. Very tasty. I had a vegan chorizo burger and my wife enjoyed a vegan chorizo taco. We will be coming back

    Food is tasty, though options are limited. Positioning vegan proteins as substitutes for meat misses any opportunity to be truly creative. The space is small and loud. Service was timely and enthusiastic. Cocktails were well executed whether classic offerings or Bombon twists. Altogether a pleasant - though not spectacular- dining experience. I'll probably visit again.

    Excellent local vegan twist on Mexican fare. Attentive service in a casual atmosphere. Food is very creative and yummy. Guacamole is outstanding as was the salad. “Fish” tacos were my favorite. Buffalo cauliflower tacos were a bit too over flavored but cooked perfectly. If you want a non meat option this is a go to in RH.

    Excellent vegan food. Different offerings than the other vegan restaurants in the Philadelphia area, so it's a great option. We shared the papas fritas, the queso dip, the quesadilla, the Latin chop salad, and the Mexican corn. All were delicious. We also had the Jamaican jerk seitan wings - they were outstanding. We will definitely be back.

    Being from Ontario, the atmosphere of Bar Bombon reminded me of vegan restaurants in Toronto's downtown core. The food was amazing, although we got our food served to us after a few other couples sat down after us; it didn't take away from the taste! My favourite menu items were the Peruvian yuca fries and the dessert banana foster empanadas. SOOOOO GOOOD!

    Food was generally good and we enjoyed it. Our waiter was perfectly competent. The front staff was uninviting on arrival, and bordered on unpleasant, perhaps because we were not regulars. The noise level was impressive. I think there are many good restaurants in Philly that check off each category of service and food nicely, and make you feel welcome, even when busy. This is not a place I will look forward to returning to very soon for the overall experience.

    Food was fantastic - especially the buffalo cauliflower tacos. Wish they had a small side of guac that wasn't the price of the full meals. We were there on a Monday night at 7pm, only half full, but still VERY loud - not for a quiet dinner or important talk with a friend.

    My expectations were high but this establishment exceeded that. From customer service, to food. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing. This place made me love making the switch to be plant based. Some of the best food ever not just vegan food but the best food period. Grace was an amazing server.
