Last week, I spent four nights in the beautiful city of Boston. Since this was my first time here, I decided to hit up all the popular spots for tasty vegan fare! Boston certainly did not disappoint, neither in the beauty of the city nor in the tastiness of the food! Here are four vegan/mostly vegan restaurants that I absolutely recommend you try next time you come to Boston. Whether you're vegan or not, these restaurants will take your taste buds for quite the ride!
1. VO2 Vegan Cafe - 1001 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA
Taco Salad - Salad topped with tofu scramble, corn chips, nacho cheese, beans, and pico de gallo
Just look at the presentation of this food! This all-vegan cafe near Harvard University is an absolute gem. It has a wonderful menu that includes sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and more. The cafe is also very quaint and a great place to do homework or relax.
2. Veggie Galaxy - 450 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA
Stuffed French Toast - Vanilla vegan cream cheese, topped with caramelized banana butter, strawberry sauce, maple syrup, and powdered sugar
Tomato-Basil Soup With Tofu Croutons
Veggie Galaxy is an absolutely wonderful vegetarian/mostly vegan diner in Cambridge, MA. The menu consists of breakfast foods, burgers, soup, salads, and desserts--typical diner fare, of course. If you're interested in grabbing a bite at a very down-to-earth and casual restaurant, Veggie Galaxy is the place for you.
3. My Thai Vegan Cafe - 3 Beach St (Second Floor), Boston, MA (Chinatown)
Vietnamese Noodle Dish - Veggie beef and tofu stir-fried with vegetables and rice noodles with fresh bean sprouts and steamed dumplings
Soup That Came With Meal - Celery, tomatoes, and tofu
My Thai Vegan Cafe is an all-vegan restaurant located in Chinatown. I went here for lunch and was able to strike a great deal with the "Luncheon Specials" (which are offered from noon-3 PM on Monday-Friday, except on holidays--though, they let me order from the lunch special menu around 11 AM). The cost for lunch is only $7.95 if you order from this menu. The menu is very interesting as it features plant-based versions of beef, chicken, shrimp, duck, scallops, squid, and fish. This is definitely the perfect place for a meat or seafood lover who is willing to branch out and try vegan versions of these foods, or for a vegan who is craving the taste of any of the aforementioned foods!
4. FoMu Ice Cream - 655 Tremont St (Multiple locations throughout Boston)
Brownie Sundae - Malt ice cream, peanut butter ice cream, caramel sauce, white chocolate chips, chai pecans, coconut whipped cream, and brownie
FoMu is one of the best ice cream shops I have ever set foot in! It has some of the creamiest, richest ice cream I've ever tasted, which is due to the coconut base used in all its ice cream. The combination of all the flavors made this dessert absolutely delectable and irresistible. FoMu has three permanent locations throughout Boston and offers a variety of desserts, from ice cream to baked goods. I don't care if it's winter time--every day is a day for ice cream.
This is just a sampling of the vegan fare offered in Boston! Although this article gives you an idea of some vegan food here in Boston, you need to experience it yourself! If you're interested in seeing more delicious and aesthetically pleasing vegan food, go ahead and follow me on Instagram!
