Vegetarian and vegan food in Boston

1. EatFenway-Kenmore

   B. Good

   Offers vegetarian and health-conscious veggie burgers with great fixings, like salsa and guacamole, and sides of tasty steamed veggies. The fries are air-baked and taste like real potatoes!

   Mon-Sat 11AM-10PM, Sun 11AM-9PM·$5-8

2. EatBack Bay-Beacon Hill

   Cornish Pasty Co

   Dark wood and repurposed church pews set the mood at this American take on British pasty pies. The traditional style, filled with steak, potato, onions and rutabaga pairs wonderfully with the red wine gravy. Other options include fillings like Stilton cheese, or might have more of a Vegetarian, Mexican or Indian theme to them. Nail it all down with the Banoffee pie, made on premises. Serving bottled beer and cider while they await licensing for the taps.

   Tue-Sat 11AM-10PM, Sun noon-10PM·Pies $12-13, starters and desserts $6-10

3. EatAllston-Brighton

   Grasshopper

   Another strictly vegan Asian restaurant with a definite Vietnamese influence. Very delicious. Awesome chicken fingers and vegan cheesecake. Great Sunday buffet.

   Mon-Thu 11AM-10PM, Fri Sat 11AM-11PM, Sun noon-10PM·Lunch $7-10, dinner $8-15

4. EatBack Bay-Beacon Hill

   Lucy Ethiopian Cafe

   Surprisingly good Ethiopian can be found in this odd corner of the Back Bay. Bring a few friends and share a large combo platter, everything's good and the Injera bread is all the silverware you need. Vegetarian options are available and up to snuff. No A/C, but it's probably not hot enough to need it anyway.

   Sun-Wed 11AM-9PM, Thu-Sat 11AM-9:30PM·$9-15

5. EatDowntown

   My Thai Vegan Cafe

   A dream come true for vegetarians, as the entire menu is vegetarian here. Features fake meat dishes (e.g. "chicken", "pork") as well as arguably more authentic vegetarian creations. Also check out the acclaimed vegan sandwiches at Cuong's right next door.

   Sun-Thu 11AM-10PM, Fri Sat 11AM-11PM·Starters $4-8, mains $8-14+

6. DrinkBack Bay-Beacon Hill

   Pressed

   Fancy smoothie spot with cold pressed juices and a small vegetarian food menu.

   Mon-Fri 7AM-6PM, Sat Sun 9AM-6PM

7. EatBack Bay-Beacon Hill

   Santouka Ramen

   The second, and smaller, location in Boston for this tiny national chain is all three: good cheap and quick. The reduction of space has meant the menu has been slashed to one item only, ramen. Choose between tonkotsu, tonkotsu, or tonkotsu style broth and load it up with various cuts of pork. There is a vegetarian option too, and of course a number of add-ons for your dish.

   Mon-Thu 11AM-9:30PM, Fri Sat 11AM-10:30PM, Sun 11AM-9PM·$12-18

8. EatJamaica Plain-Mission Hill

   Ten Tables

   French/American cuisine with an emphasis on local organic ingredients. Vegetarian-friendly. The tasting menus are a little spendy, but they are an amazing value considering the quality of the fare.

9. EatBack Bay-Beacon Hill

   The Friendly Toast

   With a kitchy, retro 1950s vibe, this Back Bay location is open insanely late on Friday and Saturday, well for Boston anyway. Known for their filling breakfast food served whenever you're ready to eat it. Service usually has just the right amount of attitude. A wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options.

   Mon-Thu 7AM-10PM, Fri 7AM-3AM, Sat 8AM-3AM, Sun 8AM-9PM·$9-15

10. EatAllston-Brighton
