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.“

“Sydney is an absolute dream. I’ve never felt more comfortable and taken care of at a restaurant in my life. She is so personable and kind and made sure my friend and I had exactly what we needed throughout our time here, she made it hard to leave!

This girl deserves a raise because she was so incredibly on top of everything and so efficient and she was so knowledgeable. It was our first time here and this will now be my go to restaurant. Thank you Sydney keep being amazing!!!!“

“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!“

“Very small place that can't Accommodate more than two customers at a time. Tough on customers during snow/rains with zero provisions for shelter outside.
The pastries are a saving grace, by the way. Nothing distinguishing about their sourdough and other bread varieties though good (slightly expensive). Their flour-free chocolate cake takes the cake for innovation and taste.
If only they would make an effort to combine the coffee shop next door (also owned/leased by clearflour mgmt.) they could customer convenience that bit more amenable.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The food here is great . Scallion pancake wraps with beef ,crispy chicken or shrimp are fantastic . Steamed buns , dumplings and noodle dishes too . Service is great . It's a small place , only a few tables , so takeout may be a good option . Definitely worth the trip .

Parking: On street parking . I've never had a problem , but it is a little tight in the neighborhood .“

“Saw a picture of Tangsu yuk and had to try it. Tried few other dishes and they were authentic with flavors on point, but somewhat lacking ..
Pork tangsu yuk $28 came with tangsu sauce poured over already, but quickly became dry and very hard, perhaps too much starch in their batter. Tangsu sauce was good.
Jjajang myeon $14 Jjajang sauce flavor was good but again drier than typical jjajang sauce and left noodles not moist even after sauce was mixed in.
Tteok bokki $14 Thoroughly enjoyed! Full flavor and just right amount of spicy kick.
Seating was like the wood church pew chairs, hard as rock , so uncomfortable.
Vibe seemed perfect for solo diners to come and enjoy comfort foods.

Parking: Metered parking lot off central st“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

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

“One of the freshest, crispiest, and tastiest dumpling place in Boston. Their soup dumpling is fresh and packed with umami soup. The Shanghai pork buns all have a crispy bottom with soft dough and flavorful pork stuffing. Their hand pulled noodles are also fresh with lots of veggies and the portion size is very generous! Lit will come back!“

“La Mei Hot Pot is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic and flavorful hot pot experiences. From the moment you walk in, the inviting aroma and warm atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the variety of options ensures there’s something for everyone. The broth options are a standout—rich, aromatic, and full of depth.

We’ve been coming here almost twice a month for six months last year and have started doing the same this year as well. We’ve brought numerous friends along, and everyone has loved it! Our go-to order is the double broth with veggies, lamb, and tofu, and we always opt for the hand-pulled noodles—they are absolutely delicious and a must-try.

The service is impeccable, with staff who are friendly, attentive, and eager to make recommendations. They make sure everything runs smoothly, from explaining the menu to ensuring your table has everything you need. The attention to detail truly enhances the dining experience.

The quality of the food and the overall experience make the prices more than reasonable. Whether you’re a hot pot aficionado or trying it for the first time, La Mei Hot Pot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely continue coming back and recommending it to all our friends!“

“Brookline is so lucky to have this local gem in the community!! Super Fusion never misses - I get takeout from here frequently and it's always such a nice experience. The sushi is fresh, delicious, reasonably priced and the people who own this store are such kind folks. The super fusion maki combo and crispy crab wontons are my favorite things to order but I've enjoyed everything I've tried here! I'm always happy to give this place my business - they're really nice people who produce consistently high quality food.“

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

“My family and I have been coming here for years, and the food still does not disappoint. Hearty portions of excellent Turkish food for a reasonable price. Will continue to eat here anytime I'm in Boston.

Kid-friendliness: A pretty good kids menu as well here“

“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!“

“This was my six-year-old’s choice for his birthday dinner! We used to frequent the South End location and since that one closed, we got delivery from Brookline. He wanted to write a review. His review is ‘they are the best cookers in the world.’ He also wants to give the meal seven stars. The food was great as usual! My go-to is the pabellon criollo, delicious and filling! Will have to come by and dine in soon.“

“stopped by this place as i was walking by and dined in with a friend. we shared the sushi. valentines roll was really good, so was the cosmo. i could kill ten of the onigiris. super filling and tasty. service was very nice and everything tasted fresh. no major complaints, its worth a visit if you're nearby, hungry, and want something light.“

“Came for a late lunch with a friend. So many great options, ended up deciding on the Tom Yum Noodle soup. Surprised with the topping choices, but the pork and fish balls were tasty. Broth was good but not enough, noodles not fully submerged even. Could’ve had more of that familiar tang of Tom yum as well. Friend had the pho, had a taste and the broth was so nice and rich. Overall really good and looking to try the pho next time!“

“I got the Dac Biet pho, the broth was very good, rich and flavorful, but the beef was very very dry, not many pieces of tripe. For the price, I’d come again for a quick, casual, decent meal, but it’s not the best of the best Vietnamese food.“

“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.“

“This is a very small place but feels very authentic inside. I got two pretty plain rolls (rainbow and cali) and I wish I would have tried something fancier because I get the impression they’d put more love into the better rolls. Still my lunch was tasty and I left pleased with the order.“

“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“

“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!“

“Food was good. Plantains were delicious as were the churros. Horchata was a nice treat. The only complaint I have is they began cleaning the floors while we were eating and the overpowering smell of cleaner was ruining our experience so we had to take our food outside to better enjoy it.“

“A good place if you are craving pub food. Fries are crisp and the selection of beers was ample. The moules frites had a generous portion of mussels. But the mussels were a little over cooked and shrank quite a bit.

We still had a good dinner 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.“

“Amazing food. Whenever I am in Boston, I make time to get to this restaurant ❤️“

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

“Got a takeout order and was really impressed! The mojo ramen broth was extremely flavorful and the chashu pork was tender and delicious. The noodles were also quite good even though I got a delivery and so they couldn't serve the noodles in the broth, I had to add it myself after reheating it. Worth the price and I'd recommend it to anyone nearby, even to be delivered!“

“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.“

“My go-to, it’s family run and literally the best! Such good quality ingredients, never oily. Service is impeccable and LOVE the food. I’m so grateful for this gem, they have such yummy and healthy veg options. They never make a fuss about my unusual dietary needs, and always accomodate. Oh and I always get easy parking. Cant wait to go back!“

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

“Our family always enjoys the food from Dragon Star! The fried crab meat bites were delicious are a great new menu item! Lunch specials are fantastic for on the go pickup when l used to work in Washington Square. We love the various dinner specials Delights and Happy Family!!!“

“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.“

“great sushi and udon. adorable place“
