Best Vegan Restaurants in Massachusetts

"My Thai has a huge menu of authentic Thai dishes for vegetarians and vegans. For those who miss the meat, the veggie “shrimp,” “chicken,” “beef,” and “duck” substitutes will impress. Favorites include the avocado medley with yellow curry (served in a fresh, whole avocado), and a fried taro root “bird’s nest” filled with veggies and a spicy green curry."

"Located in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood, My Thai Vegan Cafe offers delicious Thai food, and everything here is completely vegan and very affordable. Try its pad thai or ‘chicken’ fingers made with tofu. Also, order a fresh-fruit bubble tea."

"Location: ChinatownType of food: Asian fusion, vegan onlyPrice range: $8-18. My Thai has been one true love for almost 7 years now. During my very first visit to Boston, I stumbled upon this vegan spot in Chinatown, and gave it a try."

"There’s something called an “Eggplant and Tofu Surprise” at Grasshopper, an all-vegan spot in Allston. We usually think surprises are as ridiculous as Tesla’s current stock prices, but it turns out this dish - made with a spicy black bean sauce - is pretty good. Perhaps the only disappointment is that there are no chapulines on the menu - yes, we know, they’re not vegan."

"Restaurants Vegan Allston/Brighton. Vegetarians and vegans alike flock to this pan-Asian Allston standby. The substantial menu features plenty of standards featuring veggies and tofu."

"Haven't been so I have no clue, but I have heard good things!. Located: 1 N Beacon St, Allston, MA 02134"

"By CHLOE., the infamous women-run-and-founded NYC powerhouse recently made its way to Boston. This beautifully decorated bistro offers classic comfort food with a reasonable price tag and no heartburn attached. By Chloe’s fan-favorite “guac” burger, meatball sub and air-fried sweet potato fries pair perfectly with their constantly rotating seasonal menu."

"Anything American style food you'd love, made vegan and better. The taco bowl or the sweet potato fries will win your heart, along the beet ketchup and chipotle alioli. Oh and the desserts, I could go on and on."

"Teele Square“Plant-based fine dining" is most certainly a thing at True Bistro. You might start with a light beet salad before moving on to cornmeal-crusted oyster mushrooms, peppered pappardelle with Chanterelles, or crispy polenta squares (the menu changes frequently based on the seasons). Then there’s brunch, which is awash in waffle and seitan sausage sorcery. Add in the restaurant’s bar area and you have the perfect spot for that celebratory group dinner that miraculously blends vegans and meat-eaters. Seriously, everyone will be happy."

"Located just outside of the main city, True Bistro is worth the quick trip to Somerville. The eatery provides an upscale dining experience, complete with romantic candlelight. The menu is sourced with ingredients local to New England—which means there are seasonal variations throughout the year—and dishes marry unexpected ingredients with excellent results."

"If you’re looking for vegan fine dining, you may want to head on over to True Bistro. With its white brick walls and white tablecloths, this eatery provides a nice contemporary backdrop for their plant-based menu. Their menus are subject to change seasonally, but make sure to check out the saffron ravioli with cashew cheese if you can."

"If you’re wanting a healthier meal or snack, take a look at the menu from China Sea Restaurant in Mattapan."

"Multiple locationsThe city is now awash in juice bars that also turn out yummy, vegan, gluten-free breakfast and lunch options. But we’ll forever have a soft spot for the ladies behind Mother Juice, if for no other reason than they have fully committed all three locations to the black art of toast making. Plus they serve their breakfast bowls all day, and you can order salads by the half or whole bowl."

"A post shared by Mother Juice (@motherjuice) on Feb 11, 2020 at 3:57pm PST. Mother Juice is a little on the steep side in terms of salad spots, but considering that all of their ingredients are organic, produced locally and hand-made on site, the price tag feels a little more justifiable. Everything on Mother Juice’s menu is deeply nourishing– but without tasting like it."

"By CHLOE is a popular chain serving vegan American comfort food. A favorite with the lunch crowd, the restaurant has flavorful dishes such as tempeh burgers, cashew mac and cheese, and portobello meatball subs on the menu, so you can feel good about what you ate for lunch, even if you’re in a food coma afterward. Additional locations are in Back Bay and Fenway."

"Try out a few more favorites like Myers + Change, a stylish, Asian Fusion Chinatown spot, or Stoked Pizza for gourmet personal pizzas (the best kind of pizza, honestly). Wherever you go in this East Coast city, you won’t go hungry."

"There’s a new Downtown location of the fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant Garbanzo, across the street from Boston Common. They’ve also got a loyalty program named “The Very Important Bean,” which doesn’t sound so aquafabulous to us."

"Revolution Health Kitchen is one of Boston’s most popular options for healthy types looking to follow a whole food, plant-based diet. Friendly staffers help customers navigate the lengthy menu of nutritious, plant-based foods and beverages. Local moms and office workers pop in for made-to-order juices, smoothies, bowls, and toasts, along with healthful grab-and-go treats."

"Revolution Health Kitchen is a tiny, plant-based health-food café that makes everything from scratch, earning it a loyal set of customers from local office workers to Back Bay and South End residents. The owners, a husband-and-wife team, are usually here and happy to talk to you about their options and what might work best for your lifestyle and health goals."

"Revolution Health Kitchen — with locations in Back Bay and inside Time Out Market Boston in Fenway — is very much an avocado-toast-and-juice type of spot, but there’s more, too, from hearty soups to sweet potato sandwiches."

"CambridgeVegan cuisine can be hit-or-miss, but it’s safe to say that Veggie Galaxy is consistently batting 1000. Well-versed in the realm of comfort food, this vintage diner is living proof that you can, in fact, compose a fully indulgent, extravagant, and obscenely flavorful meal without using a single molecule of animal protein. From fiery seitan-based chick’n sandwiches to crispy plant-based mozzarella sticks to creamy peanut butter chocolate frappes, Veggie Galaxy will make meat feel like nothing more than a distant memory.How to book: Stop by for first-come, first-serve seating or order take-out and delivery online."

"Boston Public Garden and Boston Common happen to be a pair of public parks, with the former being at the centre of the city and the latter being the first public park of the United States. While the two are excellent for simply taking a stroll, admiring the wildlife, monuments and fountains or riding the Swan boat, the former is also a botanical garden which showcases a variety of flora. The Victorian touch of the parks provides a romantic feel, which is why they are preferred locations for weddings."

"Adjoining Boston Common, the Public Garden is a 24-acre botanical oasis of Victorian flower beds, verdant grass and weeping willow trees shading a tranquil lagoon. The old-fashioned pedal-powered Swan Boats have been delighting children for generations. The most endearing spot in the Public Garden is the Make Way for Ducklings Statue, depicting Mrs Mallard and her eight ducklings, the main characters in the beloved book by Robert McCloskey."

"Wander around to the Public Gardens, or sit by the Frog Pond. It is a great way to enjoy the city without spending a penny."

"This 220ft granite obelisk monument commemorates the turning-point battle that was fought on the surrounding hillside on June 17, 1775. Ultimately, the Redcoats prevailed, but the victory was bittersweet, as they lost more than one-third of their deployed forces, while the colonists suffered relatively few casualties. Climb the 294 steps to the top of the monument to enjoy the panorama of the city, the harbor and the North Shore."

"The 221-foot obelisk was dedicated and opened in 1843 to commemorate the June 1775 battle of the same name, the first major fight of the Revolutionary War. Visitors can climb all the way to the tip-top for some nice Charlestown views and then recover on the sloping law afterward—perfect for wearing the little ones out. There is also a museum about the battle and the surrounding area across the street."

"This is the site of the first major battle of the Revolutionary War. Today, you can climb the 294 stairs to the top of the monument, which is dedicated to the Battle of Bunker Hill. A museum, located across the street from the monument grounds, displays artifacts from the actual battle."

"Vilna Shul, built as a synagogue in 1919 by Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and now Boston's Center for Jewish Culture and a Jewish heritage museum, commemorates the history of this part of Beacon Hill (once part of the West End), and the Eastern European Jewish community in Boston. Restored murals, layers of history, and interesting informational displays. 18 Phillips St, Beacon Hill, Boston; www.vilnashul.org"

"The Vilna Shul, originally an Orthodox synagogue, was built in 1919 by immigrants primarily from Vilna, Lithuania. Today it is a historic landmark building located in historic Beacon Hill and home to a cultural center, community center, and living museum."

"Located in downtown Boston, The Paul Revere House is an absolute must-visit, making it one of the best museums in Boston. The museum is actually the home that Paul Revere lived in back in the 17th century and has since been turned into a historical site filled with artifacts. Inside The Paul Revere House, you can visit rooms set up precisely the way they were a few hundred years ago, along with tons of historical artifacts."
