If you are an avid vegetarian living in the Boston area, chances are slim that you haven’t at least heard of the Grasshopper or Buddha’s Delight (and Buddha’s Delight Too). These three restaurants cater to those who omit meat from their diet and do so with great care and consideration. The atmospheres of each are slightly different but both are peaceful with friendly staff. Buddha’s Delight has a somewhat religious environment with paintings of what I guess are saints, goddesses, or other important figures on the walls and decorations that remind you of a shrine. Dining at Buddha’s Delight Too, in Brookline, is very similar. The Grasshopper is a room full of dark wooden booths surrounding a few loose tables here and there and feels more like a traditional restaurant. I recommend any vegetarian visiting Boston to check one if not both of these locations out for their dining needs, as there do not seem to be many places in the United States that really are 100% meat free. Most of the vegetarian restaurants around will serve meat as an option for those who want it and so even if they are more keen to vegetarian eating, one always is left wondering whether or not their tofu was cooked on the same platform as their neighbor’s chicken cutlet. And that is never a good thing to have to guess.
