48 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Brookline

“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.“

“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!“

“Everything in this bakery is flawless. The savory olive roll, the hearty multigrain sourdough, and the buttery raspberry tart move me to dance, bring tears to my eyes, and make me want to hug the baker. Bread is what I'd crave on my deathbed, and these loaves would absolutely top that list. But it's the wonderfully welcoming people behind the counter that truly make this place feel like heaven on earth.“

“Excellent food and a very enjoyable meal at Kung Fu Kitchen! We tried several dishes and were very happy with everything we ordered.

The wonton soup was especially good. The wontons were large, with visible shrimp in each one, and the soup was loaded with fresh vegetables. Very satisfying and flavorful.

The chive pancake was another highlight—filled with chives, egg, glass noodles, and dried shrimp. It tasted authentic and was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the steamed and pan-fried dumplings.

The restaurant is clean, bright, and modern. Service wasn’t the greatest, but for this type of casual, fast-paced restaurant, it was totally acceptable.

Overall, the quality and authenticity of the food really impressed me. Definitely a 5/5, and I would happily come back!“

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

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

“Wonderful place with fresh and delicious food Good service One of my favorite spots to come to with my family or friends for lunch or dinner Variety of things to choose from Highly recommended“

“Food was decent, but the value just wasn’t there for us. Two people ordered a half-and-half broth, one beef & lamb combo, tripe, crispy pork, fried rice, and sauce bar — no drinks, seafood, or dessert. The total came to about $110 after tax and tip.

We didn’t order much at all, and for hot pot we basically only had two plates of food to cook, so $55 per person felt pretty expensive for what we got. Nothing was particularly bad, but at this price point I expected either larger portions or a more memorable experience. There are quite a few hot pot options around Boston where $50+ per person goes a lot further.“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

“Terrific food, more than my party of 5 could eat. Excellent service. Small quiet place. My choice for best restaurant in Brookline Village. BUT it can be a difficult reservation to get and you need to allow time for the courses, especially if you get the Top Line offering.“

“This is a sweet little neighborhood place that I just love, I think I’m in here 2-3 times a week, I get cravings! FRESH FRESH food and the service, the people are SO nice, professional and friendly. The only recommendation I would have to the business itself is add a way to put a tip on when you pay via your phone or credit card. All it allows you to do is pay for the meal, tips are cash, but who carries cash anymore? Attention management of Los Amigos - area for improvement - add tip feature for auto / card payments!“

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

“I honestly come here just for the bun bo hue and it's so yummy!! It may not contain the traditional ingredients, but the broth is amazing.

Service is great and the staff are kind. It's a small restaurant and I'm always surprised by their huge menu.“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

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

“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.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“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!“

“Really wonderful experience here. All the food was delicious and came out fast, and the staff were so pleasant to chat with. The restaurant itself was clean and comfy inside, and there was outdoor seating too. Bathrooms also very well taken care of which is always a bonus.“

“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.“

“Omg best restaurant in greater Boston area. Hanna’s service was impeccable, made us feel so welcome and comfortable we can not wait to come back. The food was AMAZING, kimchi some of the best we’ve ever had, and the lychee sushi at the end was SO. GOOD. we WILL be back. Thank you for an amazing experience.“

“Delicious ramen, fast efficient service.“

“After quickly sifting in and out of the other overly trendy Brookline Village restaurants the other day, we stumbled (again after 20 years) into Anatolia. Humble, unpretentious, tables filled with friends and families not glued to their phones, we were seated by a lively attentive and excellent waitress. The Anatolian red wine was excellent, the lemon rice soup a nice starter, I like the fried liver cubes (not for my non offal eating wife :/), and the the mantis- little dumplings with a lamb chunk served with yogurt utterly scrumptious. And the ground lamb kebab - it so outclasses the dry bland stuff in many Mediterranean style joints around Greater Boston. Finished with a delightfully light, flaky baklava with just a touch of sweetness and ground pistachios - a nice adult dessert finally! Not a showy place - solid home style cooking. Bring some friends and share lots of plates!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH. I was craving raw salmon so much and this place gives me the most generous amount of salmon for my bowl🍣🩵🩵 Love the crunchy topping, mango topping, and EVERYTHING. Will come back to dine here again🩷

-Came back and tried the spicy seafood ramen. IT WAS SO GOOD. 10/10 recommend!“

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

“The kushi yaki beef is really good. Would recommend trying.

Tonkotsu ramen was fine, but didnt taste how I expected a tonkotsu ramen to taste. It tasted more like a vegetable pork soup. On the flip side, not too salty compares to other ramens so I drank a lot of it. Lastly, the egg tasted weird...it wasnt bad per say but I liked the eggs from other ramen places a lot better.

Overall solid place. Worth a try.“

“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.“

“Great food ! 🧡✨ quick responses“

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

“While riding my unicycle and searching for a really good place to try some sushi my wheel pointed me into the direction of this great little hidden jewel. There's always room for improvement in any restaurant or environment of food services. I gave this blossom 5 stars across the board. Every aspect of service, presentation, courtesy, cleanliness, decorum, food freshness, quality, and I could keep going on. If they were to try and improve, it could possibly hurt them. They are just simply excellent. Thank you for the great experience. One wheel at a time 👍🏼.

“My first visit here. I had a dish where you make your own rice paper rolls with a protein. I had pork and it came with peanuts, carrots, watercress, cucumber, rice and a sweet mild fish sauce. It was delicious and fun. I didn't finish and for my to go box they included a fresh container of the dipping sauce so I was able to have the exact same thing again at home.“

“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 frequented here during my grade school and high school years. This was 20 years ago. I just wanted to mention that this place has greatly influenced me. I am in Malaysia now and i still think about the subs i get here. I hope everything is well and I hope i can come back to have another Italian sub again one day. Much love.“

“nice place to go eat. it is fun“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“I didn't care for my meal (General Tsao's chicken) it was overcooked and kinda meh. But my partner loved her meal (veggie lo-mein and chicken fingers) The service was excellent, the atmosphere was great for enjoying a quick dinner after wrapping up errands. I'd go again and give it another shot.“

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

“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.“

“Used to come to this place after school here and there as a kid with my family, and as an adult I had not been back. Today we checked it out again, and it’s still just as delicious! Had the pastrami sub and the steak bomb to share with family, and the staff was really welcoming and accommodating. Food was quick, fresh, and hot. Happy to know it’s still a great spot we can count on to keep returning to! :)“

“Had an amazing experience at Punch Bowl! Our bartender, Leury, was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and professional. The La Morra Morra cocktail was absolutely delicious and definitely one of the highlights of the night. Leury made great recommendations and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Great drinks, great service, and a great atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“You come here for the food.
Always one of the best super beef burritos you can get. I love it spicy with the jalapenos, and recently 2026, they have a menu of all the sauces they have. Like 6 or 7 choices.

If I'm in the area, I try to make it a mission to stop in.“
