    For the brunches you can get incredible tofu scramble at Sabrina's, Morning Glory or Honey's. Those places also have plenty of veg-and-non-veg-friendly breakfast fare: omelets, french toast, pancakes, with their accompanying breakfast meats if desired.

    For the lunches/dinner you can get decent veggie burgers at Nodding Head. Nodding Head also has a sizable White Beans and Sage dip that is enough for a meal on its own (or a great shared appetizer).

    Another place that comes to mind is Golden Empress Garden on S. 5th St. There is an entirely separate vegetarian menu, along with your standard omnivorous Chinese food selections.

    If you're looking for more specifics, please comment back and I'll elaborate in the right areas!

    I love:
    - the vegetarian combo plate at Almaz Cafe
    - the Tofu dolsot bibim bap at Miran Korean BBQ
    - the seitan fingers at P.O.P.E.
    - the veggie burger at National Mechanics

    Such a good question for vegetarians to have some answers to...

    belgian cafe, adobe cafe, and out on the main line (bryn mawr) at Milkboy Coffee - all of these places have really great options with seitan and other meat substitutes. Also, in a pinch, most Subways - you know, the sub shop, Subway - have a veggie patty on the menu. it's just a garden burger, but it's delicious, and so great to know when you don't know of anything else and you want something substantial, something with actual PROTEIN.

    Veggie Wrap at Jon's Bar and Grille and garlic noodles and garlic green beans at Mustard Greens. Awesome.

    My absolute favorites are the vegetarian cheesesteak at the Abbaye and the vegan fajitas at Cantina Dos Segundos.

    I wouldn't really call either of their menu's "meat-centric;" they're veg-friendly and have great meat dishes too.

    Since everyone has covered the casual and pub fare quite nicely, I'll add some fine dining ideas.

    Osteria has a surprising amount of options. You should start with the antipasti plate, which can be made veg and comes in two sizes.

    Bar Ferdinand always has excellent specials and an assortment of hot and cold tapas that meat-eaters tend to order anyway.

    Kanella usually has a couple of dinner choices and they always have a decision-filled lunch menu. The Greek platter is undeniable.

    My most-stressed piece of advice is: Just ask. If a chef is worth their salt, they will do anything to create a plate for you. It might be a bunch of sides, but sometimes you get something amazing that everyone else at the table wishes they'd asked for. Or you just have more room for dessert. Big win.

    The seitan "buffalo wings" at Belgian Cafe in Fairmount. They are fried and coated in spicy sauce, so not exactly health food, but dammned are those things delicious.

    Also the roasted maitake mushroom at Resurrection Ale House is awesome. They have lots of yummy vegetable dishes.
