50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Brookline

“Cute place and yummy baked goods as well as sandwiches and salads for lunch!“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“We had bottomless brunch at the Painted Burro and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the smaller portions so that you can try a bunch of different things! Only critique is that the coffee/tea is NOT bottomless, which is a bummer when you're paying $4 for a cup of joe.“

“Wonderful food and amazing service. We highly recommend the Washington Square Tavern. The best in the neighborhood!“

“Decided to go out for dinner with a few friends and it was delicious. I liked the citrus dressing on the avocado salad. The filet mignon was tender and flavorful. For dessert, green tea ice cream is a must!“

“My favorite, # 1 bakery in the Boston area. I've been coming here for years. Lots of, lots of love for this place and folks. ❤️❤️❤️🫶 Their breads and pastries are simply the best. It’s the kind of bread that takes you straight back to your grandma’s kitchen.

Over the years, they've gotten incredibly popular, and the lines now can be a bit much, especially on weekends or holidays. So I don’t stop by as often these days, but they’ll always have a special place in my heart.“

“Unique, delicious pastry. Best croissants and sourdough bread. Nice people. Can sit inside or outside.“

“My 1st experience was great/ friendly and delicious! I’ll be back.“

“i love their food and so is family i highly recommend them“

“Friendly service and amazing food! My daughter had the grilled organic chicken sandwich and I had the mixed greens and arugula salad-- both were delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, and several other servers double checked on us and greeted us as they walked by. We will definitely be back.“

“Delicious ramen, fast efficient service.“

“Chiharu House Roll! Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.“

“Amazing 10/10 recommend. $28/person AYCE for lunch Mon-Sun 11:30-4:30pm. The soup bases and options are delicious and I was FULL by the end. Excellent service and great sauce. This is gonna be my new go-to hot pot, can’t beat the price and location and quality.“

“Bangers and mash were fabulous at this, new to me, lovely, Irish pub!“

“It was amazing! So many games to choose from and the food is fantastic! The atmosphere is wonderful as well😊“

“Third time here and it’s an absolute gem. The burger is consistently delicious and the beer selection is excellent.
Their service is on point and here’s why:

Brian M our server was on top of it on a busy Saturday night, quick and attentive, I noticed the price of my Buffalo Trace was different on the printed menu from the online menu, I didn’t mind the price difference bc I was happy to pay it (it was a great old fashioned) but after I pointed out the price difference…he thanked me for letting them know and comped my drink! It wasn’t necessary at all but I really appreciate that kind of response.
Secondly, I ordered the fish and chips, which is the best fish and chips I’ve ever had (shout out to the kitchen staff!) But the fish portion was a little small. I’m assuming the manager clocked it, came over and said that’s a small piece of fish let me get you another one. She came out with a piece of fish twice the size. That’s good service!
It’s cozy, quality and exactly what you want on a cold night or a hot day. Good people, great food and drinks. Thank you Publick House !“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“Our experience with BonaPita was exceptional! I ordered on behalf of my company (for about 20 people) and they answered all of my questions, were able to make our rather last minute order for the weekend event, followed up to ensure everything was sent correctly, AND I was told the food was incredible. Thank you for making the process such a smooth experience and delivering delicious food to be enjoyed by all!

We ordered and enjoyed:
The falafel meal
The Salmon Meal
Fruit Platter
Cookie Tray“

“Excellent food and cocktails! Service was wonderful. The bartender, Bernie, is wonderful! She makes the best Old Fashion I have ever had. It’s a small neighborhood “hole in the wall” vibe. Definitely worth trying.“

“It was our first time here. Sushi was great. Staff was also very pleasant. The restaurant itself was a very nice environment nice seating and lighting. The presentation of the sushi was amazing! It came in a beautifully designed boat steaming with dried ice and beautiful decorations! They had a pretty decent size menu. Absolutely going back.“

“Wow! the food was truly exceptional.

It was so extraordinary that we returned the very next day to explore the dishes we had missed the night before. Every bite reflected care, creativity, and depth of flavor. Highly recommended.

One small note: not everyone is a fan of K-Pop. Reducing the number of screens or lowering the volume ( there is no synchronization between music and screens), could greatly enhance the overall dining atmosphere.“

“The shoyu 1910 was delicious. Broth just right, pork belly tender and juicy, and the noodles tasted fresh.“

“Amazing food and prices! Burger has a great grill flavor that I can’t get enough of! 🤤“

“The fried noodle is delicious. Unfortunately the soup is beef broth otherwise I could eat that too
We ordered pumpkin mochi it has red bean in it which tasted good. The famous taro puff also not to be missed.
I can see myself coming back again 😁“

“Don’t be fooled by the somewhat outdated interior and hole in the wall feel. The focus here is on the food!

Good quality fish, creative rolls, and efficient service. The price-to-value ratio can’t be beat. Tastes that much better with the reasonable prices. Note that you can tell the fish is not top-notch quality, but it hits all the right notes for an everyday sushi craving. Some rolls are more outstanding than others. My favorite so far was one that incorporated crunchy tempura bits into the minced tuna topping (forgot the name!).

We loved our recent visits so much that we’re getting platters from here for a holiday party. I’m pretty sure they’re going to be a hit.“

“I had an amazing experience at Anatolia Kebab House. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The doner meat was tender and juicy, and the plate came with a great variety of sides—rice, grilled veggies, carrots, red cabbage, and bulgur, all tasting really good and balanced, Definitely one of the best kebab spots I’ve tried. I’ll be coming back for sure👌🏼“

“Great food, great prices, great service and bottomless great coffee at this diner-style cafe. You won’t find many of these around any more and this one is a treasure!“

“Very good taqueria in a great location in Coolidge Corner, with metered street parking nearby.

Pleasant interiors, comfortable seating, clean restrooms. Fresh and tasty food in generous portions, friendly service, fair prices.

Yet not 5 stars because there are no fountain drinks and they don’t serve water for those who stay away from sugary drinks. Also no WiFi (for those of us who need to work on a laptop around lunch break). They play upbeat music in Spanish that is too loud and unsettling. The music makes you want to eat quickly and leave, which may be why most people just grab and go.“

“Delicious, fresh original pizza! Enjoyed every bite!“

“If you’re hungry and not sure where to go near Coolidge Corner, Soup Shack is the spot. They’ve got everything from steaming ramen and rich pho to hearty rice bowls. If soup’s not your thing, the chicken katsu curry rice bowl is a must-try.

Service is always friendly, portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. Plus, they’ve got a Cambridge location too.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“My partner and I eat here once or twice a month and last night’s meal was exceptionally good. They’re our local little sushi shop and we’ve found the rolls that are consistently good (spicy tuna and salmon/avocado), and we get a combo each and feel super happy with our soup, salad, roll, and drink for a good price :) service is also great“

“What great experience!
The staff is amazing very friendly and helpful.
The food was excellent. I would recommend Orinoco too all!

My family and I will enjoy another great meal the next time we are in the Boston area.“

“I got take out poke bowls and they were both really delicilious. I got my partner the ahi tuna bowl on salad. He said it was really tasty, but the salad was just big chunks of lettuce and not cut up quite right. That was the only negative remark. I got a build your own bowl with tofu and shrimp tempura with corn, seaweed salad, avocado, and edamame with spicy mayo. It was SO GOOD! The person behind the counter was so nice. I will absolutely be back often.
The inside might not look super fancy and what not, but it's worth the try.“

“genuinely some of the worst service i have ever received at a restaurant - after i ordered, the server only dropped off food, didn’t speak and walked away immediately and did not stop back to refill empty drinks or ask if everything was good. as a server myself, this was disappointing, especially because i could have used a refill on my drink and some more lime for my pho 🙃 despite this, the food was amazing so i will return to give it another shot.“

“It was a lovely little pizza place. Not much business, but the food tasted good and hardly took any time at all. We sat under a fan, and there was a marvelous painting that seemed to depict a scene of Roman culture right beside us. It was quaint and the servers were fairly nice. Overall would go again.“

“Over the past couple of years I have been to U Sushi countless times. The owners are always helpful and the food comes out quickly, whether for dine-in or takeout. A cozy spot to eat in, or perfect to takeaway and eat at home. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. Open late, which is rare in this neighborhood!“

“Great food ! 🧡✨ quick responses“

“The food is absolutely amazing, so fresh. 2nd visit and will definitely be back. The staff is so pleasant and I can’t say enough about the foods we tried. Can’t wait to go again at try a few more items on the menu.“

“Nice! This pizza is so taste! I love the sauces and the cheeses! Crunchy crust to please the folks, I can taste touch hear feel see the cheeses! When BOLOCO is not on your taste pallet for the day, you go here“

“I've been coming here since the 90's. The perfect townie spot for excellent subs, sandwiches & pizza. The service is great and the food is always an A+. Pictured is a slice of buffalo chicken, Cuban panini, and a Lucy Goosey.

Their best sub is The Texan.“

“I was impressed with everything! It was my first time trying ramen that didn’t come from my house and after being skeptical for so long I actually loved it! The service was amazing, the food was delicious - I tried the spicy ramen with chicken … and I definitely will be going back soon!!“

“It was delicious!! Indoor and outdoor dining and very pleasant waiter“

“I meant to leave a review a while back. They have some great food always made fresh to go. I placed a order one day and was picking it up as they closed. They forgot my chicken teriyaki. Only one person was there cleaning up looked like they were ready to go. I told them they forgot my chicken teriyaki. He said I never ordered. But I did because my order never changes. He took the initiative to make it for me, not only that he gave me some house rice with it..“

“I was posted 2 years ago to review his place before the owner. I loved it so much. This is the best food ever and the taste is great!

July 13, 2024
after 2 yrs, The taste and flavor are different from two months ago, the guy who worked there, Toghi and she are the best at making food but aren't anymore. We used to love ordering their food but not anymore.“

“We’ve been going to this Chinese food place for years. The reason is it’s higher quality that most other places around the food is quick to come out and the service is always great. They have a bathroom and it is accessible. The parking lot is huge and I’ve never seen it full so you have plenty of places to park you can enter through two roads. So it’s a quick In-N-Out. I’ve gotta say in all the years going there. I don’t think they’ve ever messed up my order although funny story back in the day when we went there years ago to eat inside which we used to do a lot I was cut off not from drinking alcohol but from drinking soda it’s a funny story that we still remember till this day. The guy was worried about my health and said three sodas is too much for you even back then when it was by the can and I was paying for each individual drink, but even eating inside is nice. They’ve always been very nice and accommodating.“

“I honestly wasn't expecting the experience I had here. The menu was thoughtful and the food was delicious. Great service and in the top favorite for the clam chowder. ( Being from Maine, I'm a tough critic)
. 😀 Well done.“

“great sushi and udon. adorable place“

“Love Anna’s, it’s been a go-to quick-dinner spot for me for a couple of years now.

Tip: add the extra grilled veggies with your bowl/burrito, you get a lot for only $2ish extra!

They recently added loaded nachos on their menu that are also a great choice!“

“The food is fresh, vibrant, and flavorful and the aromas are always enticing. There's plenty of options to tempt your palate. They offer a variety of appetizers, entrees, and rice and noodle dishes that are so tasty it's hard to put your chop sticks down. The service is friendly and efficient. The ambiance is bright and cheerful. We've always had a great meal and a wonderful time at Golden Temple and we'll be returning for more.“
