50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Saugus

“Hands down the best M&M ice cream I’ve ever had! I don’t live local anymore but when I’m in town I bring a cooler and buy quarts to go home with me. It’s that good.“

“Treat you like family Food is amazing“

“Although this place no longer exists in the heart of Harvard Square, which was the mother location, sadly closed after the pandemic but two other locations have remained open one in Burlington and one in saugus. Always agree time and very accommodating to larger parties. Free chips and salsa and refills aren't necessarily something that every restaurant does anymore and if you're looking for a simple fun and tasty snack on meal this place is worth it. Fans of country music and blues music will love this place because they have been loyal to the music they've been playing over there sound system the last 30 some odd years. There's really no other Mexican / Cajun restaurant like the Border Cafe so if you ever on route 1 or find yourself in Burlington Mass or want to make the trip, if anything it's definitely a fun place to go.“

“Great service. Took my shellfish seriously. Great food and Clara was great.“

“Had a really great experience at Kowloon Restaurant with my mom. I don’t come here often because it’s super fancy, but it was definitely worth it. HUGE PORTIONS. Our waiter Chris (who works Sunday and Monday nights) was amazing: super nice, really funny, and made the whole experience even better. If you get Chris as your server, make sure to tip him well because he absolutely deserves it!“

“This was the best night out I’ve had with my husband in a long time. The food was spectacular- I suggest the mezze platter so you can try everything, and of course the koshari. The mushroom fritters they had as a special were divine. The atmosphere and quality of service were top-notch and we will absolutely be coming here regularly.“

“Giulia was amazing. Fantastic service, incredible food. From cocktails and the semolina cake sfizi which was the perfect small bite to start to the three desserts we shared around the table (affogato, orange blossom panda cottage, strawberry semifreddo) that generated debate over which was the favorite, every bite and every sip was thoroughly enjoyed. I will tryntonget a reservation every time we make it back to Boston!“

“Pazza is AMAZING! Great service and the food is incredible. Highly recommend!“

“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.“

“The additional noodle option was very worth it (nearly doubles the amount) and the soup base for the Umami Ramen is delicately seasoned and has a rich taste. Crew was also extremely friendly and helpful, a flawless experience for the price point.“

“June 2026
Absolutely outstanding brick oven pizza! We ordered five different pizzas and a charcuterie board for a group of eight, and we destroyed every last slice. Crisp, delicious, and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend this place.“

“Took my 9 year old son here today for lunch When we were done, he said “Daddy, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had!” My 9 year old is a major pizza snob“

“Amazing! Every bite was delish! First visit and will be back for sure!“

“I enjoy Cava every day, but especially when I am on my way to an event! Jeff, Luz,&Cris are just a few of the employees that bring charisma and good customer service to the Cava Experience! Thanks for helping my stay healthy. PS the right rice is my fav!“

“We had a very delicious dinner here when we were visiting and staying in Salem. The atmosphere was great and I have to give a big shout out to our waitress Rachel, who was a total sweetheart and very accommodating, as well as Tori, who took over as our waitress when Rachel's shift was over. This is the best place to eat in Salem and highly recommend it to anyone who loves seafood! Thank you again Turners!!“

“Great food at a great price really enjoy it“

“TOURIST’S TAKE!!! ——-> I recently visited the Time Out Market in Boston and had a great overall experience, especially when comparing it to the Lisbon location. One of the first things that stood out was how much cleaner the Boston market felt. Even during busy hours, the seating areas and food stalls were well maintained, with staff regularly clearing tables and keeping the space tidy. It made the whole experience more comfortable and less chaotic than what I remember from Lisbon. Pricing was another pleasant surprise. While food halls can sometimes feel overpriced in tourist-heavy cities, Boston’s Time Out Market felt noticeably more affordable. Portions were reasonable for the price. The variety of options was also a positive note. There was a strong mix of local favorites and creative concepts. It’s a good place to bring a group! The atmosphere was also better as there was a Red Sox game that evening so there was definitely excitement in the market combined with live music made it an exciting place to be. Overall, I’d give the Boston Time Out Market four stars. It’s cleaner, more budget-friendly, and offers a more versatile food selection compared to the Lisbon location!“

“Normally I’m a traditional Pad Thai or Pad See Ew but I branched out to try the Panang Curry. It was SO GOOD! Definitely reccomend. My table got Pad Thai, Basil Rice and the See Ew and they thought it was great as well! Server was super accommodating and attentive.“

“Stopped by here during a work trip and can 100% say I will be back! thank you guys for the amazing food and service!!“

“May 2026
I was anticipating an amazing wagyu beef burger given the $35 price tag, but it was very ordinary and forgettable. It was cooked well-done even though I asked for medium-well, and it had absolutely no flavor, not even a hint of salt and pepper. The fries were dry and not very good either. But the corn bread was absolutely delightful and probably some of the best I’ve ever had, and the pita bread with hummus and pimento cheese was delicious, as well. Overall, about 4 stars considering the appetizers saved the day, as the wagyu burger was a flop.“

“The food here was absolutely amazing, but what truly made our night so special was our waiter, Diego! He was incredibly nice, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire evening. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. If you are planning a visit and want to ensure a great night, I highly recommend asking for Diego. Thank you so much, Diego, for an unforgettable evening!“

“Food and service are excellent!“

“Good food, great prices & friendly service! 👌“

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice“

“The wait staff is incredibly friendly. We heard the onion rings were heavenly. We were not disappointed. However the salad we ordered and shared was one of the best salads I have ever tasted. I think it was the Hot Cold Chicken Salad. Absolutely delicious! After 10 pm the sandwiches are half price and they all looked delicious too!!“

“This place is superb. The food was delicious, fresh, tasty, VERY SUBSTANTIAL (one bowl will feed 3!) and a delight. The owner welcomed us with grace and kindness and told us that if it wasn't to our liking, he would make it right. We were gifted Rice Pudding (the cinnamon....oy vey!) and Baklava. Will be back every time I go to Mass General for treatment.“

“Loved the Texas brisket sandwich. Delicious. Nice atmosphere.“

“We stumbled upon Half & Half while searching for a place to get breakfast and stopped in with our 2 yo. Very cute interior with a friendly staff and delicious food. My wife absolutely loved her avocado toast with eggs and my breakfast sandwich was perfectly grilled. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes for our son who also chomped on my home fries and fresh fruit from my wife’s plate. The person who waited on us (the owner?) was exceptionally friendly and stopped off to talk through all of the various types of butter on the table (no, seriously, like four different kinds and all equally amazing!). We will definitely be back for lunch — and more butter.“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“Went there for a corporate holiday gathering. The staff were terrific and it was such a fun, interesting chance to learn, laugh and connect with colleagues. Staff are so attentive, kind and patient. A wonderful place!“

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit“

“One of the most flavorful meals I’ve ever indulged in! Love the vibes there, and that everything is healthy and organic. Impressed that the prices weren’t too high either! Was just traveling through Salem on vacation in September & glad I found this place. Highly recommend. (Pictures are of the Rainbow Harvest bowl and Blue Magic Smoothie) - which had a kick to it, but tasted like Christmas.“

“One of the best full-service restaurants in Boston!“

“Food is good. Parking is awful. when you get your bill u get a chargé for the kitchen.“

“Ostra is one of those restaurants that immediately feels like an occasion the moment you walk in. The dining room is polished and elegant without feeling stiff, with warm lighting, crisp white tablecloths, and a refined atmosphere that makes it feel equally suited for a date night, celebration, or pre-theater dinner. The space has a timeless quality to it, balancing classic fine dining with a modern seafood-focused menu, and there is an energy throughout the room that feels lively while still maintaining a sense of intimacy.

Seafood is clearly the focus here, and the menu is built around pristine ingredients prepared with restraint and precision. The tuna tartare is a great example of that approach, highlighting the freshness of the fish rather than overwhelming it with heavy flavors. Oysters are another natural starting point, especially given the restaurant's reputation for sourcing high-quality shellfish. From there, larger seafood dishes like the grilled Spanish octopus, paella, monkfish, and the signature salt-crusted branzino showcase the kitchen's ability to handle both delicate preparations and more dramatic presentations. The menu leans Mediterranean in spirit, with an emphasis on letting the seafood remain the centerpiece of every dish.

Service feels polished in the way you would expect from a restaurant at this level. Courses arrive at a comfortable pace, staff are knowledgeable about the menu, and there is a noticeable attention to detail throughout the meal. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying dinner in the city, the experience feels thoughtfully executed from beginning to end.

What makes Ostra memorable is how effortlessly it delivers the type of seafood dining experience many restaurants aim for. The elegant setting, carefully prepared seafood, and attentive hospitality all work together to create a meal that feels elevated without becoming overly formal. It is the kind of place that reminds you why classic seafood restaurants continue to endure, offering a dining experience that feels both timeless and distinctly Boston.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Tresca before seeing a show at TD. We had started our meal with the melanzana and calamari which were fried to perfection! The pork chop with the balsamic reduction and mashed sweet potato is a must have and if in the mood to splurge- the filet mignon with the lobster stuffed mushroom is a perfect entree. The food was excellent, however, the wonderful staff and Chef Rich really made the dining experience feel as if you were at a family member's home for supper! This is a must try in the North End!“

“The dishes are so intentional. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought that went into each dish. The cornbread and scotch eggs are divined!“
