Living On The Vedge recommends you up your street cred by ordering the seitan cheesesteak at the Abbaye.

The Abbaye will make you a changed man. The Seitan Cheesesteak here is a special, but it’s usually there, because everyone wants to be with it. Juicy pieces of seitan are smothered with cheese and grilled onions and folded into a roll, with crispy frites and a side of cheese sauce that insists on being used for both. Add beer. You, looking like a person that I want to know.

Foodaphilia settles down for a late night dinner at the Abbaye in Northern Liberties.

Overall, a good meal. The Abbaye is also open late Monday through Saturday, so it’s a good place to hit if you’re hungry at a later than normal hour for dinner. Just stay away from the mac and cheese.
