True Bistro is Somerville's high-end spot for fully vegan dining.

Vegan Egyptian restaurant Koshari Mama is a graduate of Somerville’s Bow Market, now open in its own space just a little bit outside of Union Square.

You’ll also find treats like mushroom shawarma, a spinach and split pea stew, and moussaka, plus beer and wine.

In Cambridge’s Kendall Square, PlantPub serves meatless takes on burgers (either Impossible or a house veggie blend), pizza, soft serve, and more. It’s “pub food for the modern world,” as the team describes it, with well-curated beer and wine lists to match.

One of Boston’s longest-running vegetarian restaurants, Grasshopper serves a meat-free pan-Asian menu in Allston.

Blue Nile, a handsome Ethiopian restaurant in JP, offers plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, many of which you can sample all at once via a combo plate, which includes multiple vegetarian sides (collard greens, split yellow peas, and more) and a salad. Also worth a visit: Blue Nile's sibling, Ethiopian Cafe, just a few doors down at 377 Centre Street.

Boston’s vegan taco options are few and far between, which makes one of JP’s newest restaurants even more of a welcome sight. The food truck-turned-burrito and taco spot has a sizeable vegan and vegetarian menu that includes taco plates, nachos, bean-filled burritos, and burrito bowls.
