I'm all about the meat, but if I had to ever give it up, I'd go broke eating here as often as I could because I enjoyed my meal here so much and I apologize for not writing this review much earlier when I ate here prior to the Fab Faux concert at the Keswick (which is only a short 5 minute drive away). I came here with my wife and two guests, one of whom is a vegetarian so I'm always game to try a new place so they can enjoy themselves, too. Our Spring Menu had these choices and between the four of us we had them all (you get your choice within each for $35 or with dessert $40): First Course Moroccan Spiced Carrots, Chickpea Hummus, Pickled Radishes Potato Leek Soup, Pommes Allumettes, Truffle Oil Roasted Beet Salad, Winter Citrus, Pistachio Vinaigrette Second Course Hoppin John's Black-Eye Peas, Charred Avocado, Green Onions Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Burnt Onion Marmalade, Sushi Rice Crisp Rosie's Hosey Polish Pierogies, Confit Onions, Spiced Broccoli Third Course Traditional Pepper Pot, Rice&Peanuts, Coconut Curry Country Fried Hen of the Woods, Anson Mills Grits, Charred Okra Sister Maria's Tamales, Chipotle, Salsa Verde Fourth Course Jessica's Sweet Potato Pie, Walnut Jam, Vanilla Bean Gelato Beignets & Chocolate Espresso Gnache Plantains Foster, Coconut Sorbet, Roasted Peanuts As the song goes, "Everything is awesome!" But the absolute best thing I've had in a long time was those Country Fried Hen of the Woods mushrooms with the grits and okra. I could eat that for life and be very happy. Yes, it's a very small place and reservations are necessary. Don't think you'll be getting matched tables, linens, utensils, or anything. It's also BYOB. The server advised that the menu does change seasonally, but also more often depending on what's fresh when the chef goes out. Please go visit Flora and have a wonderful time. As I said before it's only about 5 minutes from the Keswick, so consider Flora before the show!

UPDATE due to menu change: Delicious, nicely sized portions; amazing service; soothing ambiance; excellent tunes. Check it out=)

This is my favorite vegan restaurant in the entire world. That fried hen of the woods. Them beignets. That potato leek soup. It was a blurry, hazy, non-animal-product-filled, magical meal.

This place is legit. The menu, interior is all on point. A must for any herbbies in the area.

I would like to start this review with some background that while I am firmly omnivorous I was a vegetarian for many years and lived with a vegan for several so I am neither unfamiliar with or opposed to vegan food. I also went with a friend who is actually a vegan, to get both sides of the story on the cuisine here. I felt like the $35/$40 price was slightly pricey but for a prix fixe menu at a specialty restaurant not entirely unreasonable, and they are also cash only. I made a reservation which was definitely necessary, and they were extremely accommodating when I actually ended up having to change it twice. Parking is available in the municipal lot behind the building for $0.25/hr and I didn't have trouble finding a spot. The decor is homey and welcoming but not super fancy or romantic and it is BYOB. Honestly I think my friend and I both walked away feeling disappointed. Almost all of the reviews I've seen on Yelp so far are I guess for the Winter or Fall menu and the pictures and descriptions of all of those (potato leek soup, artichoke soup, pepper pot, fried hen of the woods mushrooms, tamale, beignets, etc.) seem absolutely delicious. I would guess what we had would be the Spring menu, and neither of us really cared for most of the options. We got two things in each category and shared for a variety of choices. 1st Course - Smoked Corn Soup with Seasonal Garnish: 1/5, this is actually a cold, clear soup that basically tastes like you're eating liquid smoke. Our least favorite of the meal. - Seasonal Salad with Pickled Vegetables and Peanut Puree: 2/5, a relatively measly salad with mostly unidentifiable purees. We did like the peanut puree they served on the side and just ate that plain off of spoons. 2nd Course - Pan-Seared Potato Dumplings & Pea Puree: 3/5. I enjoyed the potato dumplings and the pea puree they are served in was fine. I did not enjoy the inclusion of edamame but that's just my tastes. - Parsnip Pasta with Maitake Mushrooms and Peppercorn Sauce: 3/5. The parsnip pasta was neither bad nor good, kind of just there. The mushrooms were TO DIE FOR but you get four bites of those :( Just serve a bowl of the mushrooms and it'd be 5/5. 3rd Course - Seasonal Stew with Mushrooms, Carrots, Potatoes & Pearl Onions: 4/5. This seemed more of a soup than a stew to me, you do get large chunks of the vegetables but it's in a relatively thin soup base. Quite good, but it felt like something we could easily make at home and be as satisfied with. - Royal Trumpet Mushrooms with Black-Eyed Peas & Red Pepper Puree: 3/5. We're both huge mushroom lovers and these were just okay, rather bland. Dessert (Even though we ended up both getting the four course option, they were perfectly willing to let just one person get the four courses and split the dessert, which I really appreciated.) - deconstructed banana split: 5/5. Three different sorbets, homemade whipped "cream," bananas, chocolate sauce. Just awesomeness. - brownie with coconut sorbet and chocolate sauce: 5/5. Never really found the chocolate sauce, but the coconut sorbet was magical and the brownie tasted like a ghiradelli confection, didn't have that particular vegan-dessert texture. The Takeaway: I would go back, but I would scrutinize the menu carefully before doing so. Nothing really jumped out at me on the list before I went but I was so taken with last season's menu I assumed anything would be good and came away disappointed. The dishes seemed lacking in cohesion, were rather bland, and most felt like something I could do as well or better at home (and I am by no means an at-home gourmand). The desserts were fantastic and easily the highlight of the meal and the customer service was impeccable. It was a fun experience, but it hasn't become a new favorite.

A fascinating part of this restaurant is that it was started by non-vegans, simply to fill a need. They felt it would be a successful business, and it is. Flora is full all the time as well as small (18 seats, 8 tables max) so be sure to call ahead for a reservation. BYOB. The menu changes each season. 3 courses for $35 per person, $40 for four. We had three and were very full. So fun to switch plates and try a variety of dishes. At first the portions won't seem large, but it's all fiber being purely plant-based food, so you become full without overconsuming. This is how we are meant to eat, high in nutrients, low in filler. Someone here has access to amazing exotic mushrooms, because they were heavily featured on the winter menu. The amuse bouche (complimentary bite-sized hors d'Å“uvre) was something called burdock which we had never heard of. Us: "Bird dog? Can you spell that?" We heard other tables asking the same question. Look up at the minimalist chandelier. There is a public parking lot behind the street; bring quarters.

Bright warm environment with a capacity of about 15 making it very special. Our server was very helpful and friendly. There was three of us so we got everything on the menu and all shared. Portions were not large but for a four course meal it made sense. I left feeling full, satisfied and comfortable. They change their menu every season and sometimes during the season. I am looking forward to their spring menu. I can't wait to go back!

I visited here recently on a trip home. I'm not really a vegetarian or anything, but I went with a friend who talked me into it...it's only a few minutes from home, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Since they're pretty new and lacking in the review department I did a little research beforehand, found an article on Philly.com that said apparently they source all of their ingredients locally, which I definitely found to be worth a shot since you don't really see that much anymore. The dining room is fairly small but well put-together, very warm and inviting. It feels like you're eating in someone's home dining room, very comfortable. As for the menu: the food is served from a small menu in the form of courses, either 3 or 4 if you'd like dessert. I think there were a few things to choose from for each course, maybe 4 or 5 things to pick from for each course. Also, I found out after we were seated that it's BYOB, so next time I'll be sure to bring a fine bottle of Fireball to go with dinner. I have to say, I was highly impressed by the food. I started the first course with the fresh salad and house vinaigrette, it was a great start. Next came the tamales with homemade salsa...I'm a sucker for Mexican food, and they were outstanding. For the third course I went with the artichokes and broccoli rabe...again, awesome. Great portion sizes, I have no idea how I had room for dessert but I am glad I sprung the extra few bucks. We both got the bananas foster with coconut sorbet, fanfuckingtastic finish to the meal. A strange mix of tastes throughout that complimented each other well. I left that place stuffed and satisfied. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area, if nothing more than the dessert. Also, make sure you bring cash, they don't take card.

The best new restaurant of 2015. Absolutely fabulous. Can't wait to go again. BYOB. Smallish so call to make reservation. Went second time and lowered the rating for Summer Menu - still very good but Spring Menu was amazing

I'm not a veggie but had a great meal here recently. Nice small space right in downtown Jenkintown - nice not to be in a strip mall for a change. Don't think any of us had any complaints about the food. Made with high quality ingredients and great preparation. Can get the 3 or 4 course dinner. It's BYOB which for me is a big plus and a $ saver. Only downside is that we had a large group next to us in a very small space, so a bit loud. But not a big deal overall.
(5)Michelle S.
As a vegan of 16 years who is willing to travel, I have to say that I was underwhelmed by Flora. Out of the four courses, there were high points like the tempura mushroom and the brownie. The low points include beans, I love beans but there are a lot of them and they lacked depth in the flavor. I know can get more interesting cuisine from other vegan restaurants that are near by.

I'd hate to give this suburban vegan helm a bad rap, so perhaps me and my dining partner went on an off night. We were seated in a quaint little dining room, with nice décor and lighting. The waiter brought over a light pepper and tomato salsa, that was good but nothing crazy. We each chose to go with the three-course option, omitting the tempting desserts. We shared plates throughout: FIRST: - Roasted Eggplant Salad with Seasonal Green Beans, Heirloom Tomatoes & Black Bean Vinaigrette: This was okay, didn't really taste like a pronounced black bean paste- flavor and literally a handful of spring mix. - Watermelon Gazpacho: This again was okay; not the biggest fan of gazpacho, but felt it needed SALT-- a common theme of the night. SECOND: - Blackened Cauliflower with Red Onion Escabeche: A take on fish tacos I presume? Cauliflower roasted is great, but the portion was literally like 4 florets and the escabeche was far too acidic. - Seared Artichokes and Roasted Garlic Hummus with an Olive, Tomato, Pepper Tapenade & Oregano Croutons: This was probably the best dish of the night, the artichokes were large and seared nicely and the hummus perfectly whipped. THIRD: (larger portions) - Jerk Spiced Royal Trumpet Mushrooms over Basmati Rice & Black-Eyed Peas with a Red Pepper Puree: The mushrooms were great but this "Jamaican" riff on jerk chicken with rice and peas wasn't flavorful enough. The rice could have used some creamy sweetness and the pepper sauce -- SALT - Potato Scallops & Roasted Carrots with a Coconut Curry Sauce, Toasted Cashews & Golden Raisins- This was okay, the potatoes needed SALT and the sauce wasn't super flavorful. All in all, a good option that I feel in time will work out some of its kinks and hopefully draw in a bigger crowd. For the $$$ though- these are VEGETABLES people!

I'm not vegan, but have to eat dairy free for a little while. This place is delicious! The flavors and spices go perfectly with everything. A great asset to Jenkintown.
(5)Doris T.
Nice cozy byob vegan place. The restaurant had a very cute decor. Pre fix menu with decent size portions. The pear and fennel gazpacho was the perfect pair. The root veg ravioli was served with this delicious onion broth. The stuff eggplant was seasoned well and came with this herb sauce. Onto my favorite part, the brownie. Do yourself a favor and do the 4 course meal so you can order the brownie. It was this cake like chocolate heaven, served with strawberry sorbet.
(5)David B.
Tried for the first time this Saturday. The food is presented beautifully. It is also as flavorful and tasty as it looks. This is a must try restaurant. We think this is some of the best food we have enjoyed in the past several months. Vegan has never been so good. The only downside is the venue being quite small. A group of eight overwhelmed the interior with chatter. I would suggest reservations. Weekdays may be your better choice. Enjoy, we did. The restaurant is only open Tuesday through Saturday.
(5)Maria B.
Warm, comfy diningroom of small tables. The meal was absolutely delish. Wonderful combinations of taste and texture kept us savoring every bite of our 4 courses. I am already planning my next trip with my other veggie friends.
(5)Asha R.
I went with a friend on a Friday night and we were only ones threre and the place was beautifully decorated. Food choices run as courses up to 3 to 4 courses. They are all different and enjoyed them.
(5)Chiara T.
A great meal! Everything was delicious and perfectly executed. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu
(5)Jillian K.
Awesome!! We enjoyed everything! What a good feeling it is to have a nutritious + delicious plant based meal!
(5)Dana B.
Really excellent vegan food. Maybe not quite up to the standard of Vedge, but pretty darn close, and a lot easier to get to for those of us who live in the 'burbs. I enjoyed all of my courses (and my husband's), though my favorites were probably the Brussels sprouts and the country-fried hen-of-the-woods mushrooms. Oh, and the beignets - so good.
(4)Mom 2.
What a delightful surprise! Creative composition of flavors artistically presented. DH & I purposefully ordered different items so that we could taste more. Every single bite was scrumptious! We will definitely go back. They only have 16 seats though...so if you plan to go, call ahead. PS...it's byob.
(5)Kevin P.
As a vegetarian this place is long over due in Jenkintown. Wow this was good eating. So competitive with the best veg restaurants around. Blue sage and Vedge look out we have a choice closer to home now.
(5)Dara L.
Wow! I don't know who is in the back cooking, but s/he has unsurpassed vision and talent. The food is innovative, stunningly presented, and simply delicious! I don't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and felt that every bite of every dish was better than the last -- with the perfect amount of seasoning and texture. Every dish we had was a winner so I'll just list some of them in no particular order with the confidence to say that you could probably order anything and be thrilled: artichoke soup, harvest salad, spicy cauliflower, pepper pot, brussels sprouts. Flora rivals any top restaurant in Center City, and I hope critics come to review it soon so it can gain its well-deserved place at the top of the list.
(5)Lisa S.
Visited over the winter break. Excellent. My DH and I both had the 3 course tasting and we each got different dishes for each course, so we could switch and taste more. Both of us liked each dish equally. Excellent all around. Loved it and cant wait to come back.
