Tonight, in a sort of gleaming godsend to your vegan friend who's always asking whether or not his vegetables have been sautÃ©ed in butter, chef Anne Coll launches a completely vegan tasting menu at Meritage (500 S. 20th St.). The four-course tasting, which runs $35 a head, features plenty of the Asian-inspired components — think Thai basil emulsions, grilled Japanese eggplant or kaffir lime curry sauce — that are truly Coll's wheelhouse. It'll be available on Tuesdays throughout the summer. Full menu after the jump; call 215-985-1922 for rezzies. Amuse Bouche: Vegetable tartlette with star anise tomato chutney 1st course: Heirloom tomato salad cucumber granita, pickled red onion, Thai basil emulsion, crispy rice cracker 2nd course: Grilled Japanese eggplant, salt baked fingerling potatoes, gingered carrot puree, Indonesian kaffir lime curry sauce, crispy chick peas 3rd course: Mushroom lentil sticky rice in banana leaf, shallot confit, fricasse of asparagus and royal trumpet mushrooms, lemongrass espuma 4th course: Rhubarb soup, coconut panna cotta, strawberry salad , sesame tuile

Went tonight for dinner - loved it and would go back. A total steal for a tasting menu and please save your appetite for the sticky rice in course 3...it's like that vacation you've been meaning to go on.
