Philadelphia Restaurant Guide

Located in Philadelphia’s finest historical landmark, Basic 4
Vegetarian Cafe is the vegetarian connoisseur’s paradise, delivering
delicious healthy renditions of American comfort classics. Owner/Chef
Alfoncie B. Austin opened the doors to Basic 4 in 1981 fulfilling a
niche of delectable dishes typically unavailable to the health
conscious. As a dietician, Alfoncie carefully designed each menu
item to provide the 4 basic elements necessary in a meal: whole
grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy and legumes (protein). The store’s
name represents the complete diet and caters to those who are concious
of health, the environment, and fresh ingredients, but don’t want to
compromise mouthwatering meals. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices or
smoothies refresh and revive; dairy free deserts like Sweet Potato Pie
or Cheesecake are the perfect guilt free finishing touch to a hearty
meal. Basic 4 Vegetarian Cafe is the transparent staple inventing a
healthy indulgence for the conscience consumer. Eating here will make
anyone want to join the vegelution.
