Boston Vegan Eateries

Looking for fine dining in the great city of Boston but all you can find are steakhouses and pizza parlors that cater to animal-eating diners? For someone new to the area or just visiting, spending a great deal of time trying to find a restaurant that caters to your dietary habits and palate can be time-consuming and hard to cope with when you're hungry. Also attempting to find strictly vegan choices can be a hassle as most places offer food more along the lines of a vegetarian's diet with few vegan options included. Most restaurants trying to supply health-conscious folk choose to aim their focus at the former moreover the latter.

Boston offers a great variety of vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Whether you prefer simplistic foods or extravagant meals, plain Americanized favorites or Asian platters, Beantown has a little something for everyone.

Original Buddha's Delight is a lovely little Asian-themed restaurant on Beach Street in Chinatown that provides stomach and wallet-friendly dishes with appetizing flares of flavor. Offering an assortment of rice and noodle dishes with pseudo-meat cooked in, you can bet there will be something to fill you up, whether you're a carnivore, omnivore, or vegetarian/vegan. Original Buddha's Delight is an excellent place to order comfort food - somewhat greasy, but nonetheless scrumptious.

TJ Scallywaggle's Vegan House of Pizza and Subs is the epitome of great eating at a cheap price. Just over in the Allston area on Cambridge Street, TJ's offers a menu of vegan pizzas and subs to satiate any appetite. With traditional plates like cheese pizza and meatball subs, the conventional ingredients are replaced with delicious, creature-friendly ones. A smorgasbord of choices, I highly recommend Maggie's Meetbahl sub and the Capt. Jazelda's Sauhsage-Pineapple specialty pizza. Food not being the only thing on the menu, Thursdays are live music nights, featuring local bands.
