Couch Tomato Café
The Couch Tomato Cafe is fairly well known (even Craig LeBan has weighed in on their pizza), but if you don't often venture into Manayunk, you may not have heard of it. Most people will tell you that the pizza is top-notch, and we won't argue, but the real selling point for us: possibly the largest salad menu in existence. Yes, you read that right: salad. But we're not talking about wimpy little mounds of limp lettuce, here. No, we are talking about gigantic bowls of the best-looking salads we've ever seen, with a "make your own" menu that will take you more time to read than you'll probably spend eating the darn salad once you've ordered. If you just can't get into the bunny food, though, don't worry. The "make your own" pizza menu is just as big. And as a bonus for those of you out there who won't eat anything that once had a mom: we think the Couch Tomato actually has more offerings for vegetarians than carnivores. That may be a first for restaurants that cater to both crowds.
