14 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Belmont

“A gorgeous restaurant in the heart of Belmont Center. The restored firehouse building is absolutely stunning inside and out and suites the vibe of Il Casale perfectly. The food is good. It's authentic Italian. It's changed over the years. It may have been better in the early years, but it's still good. The service has been pretty darned good over the years, but upon last visit, 03/27/24, I was simply amazed at the kindness, which started at the front door with the host. Everyone was kind, genuine, confident, and knowledgeable.“

“My Other Kitchen is a cozy neighborhood eatery known for its homey atmosphere and delicious comfort food. From hearty soups and sandwiches to flavorful entrees, each dish is crafted with care and attention to detail. With its welcoming vibe and friendly service, My Other Kitchen feels like a home away from home.“

“Amazing experience. The Wellington burger was the best burger I ever had with tasty french fries. It was so delicious along with the fresh brewed coffee and fresh squeezed lemonade. The service was excellent and atmosphere was very pleasant with jazz.“

“The goat was definitely the best. Butter chicken was a bit too sweet for my liking, and the oil was a bit too heavy and was pooling up. The lamb was alright tenderness, there were some pieces that were dry. I thought there was a very nice ambience and good decorations in the bathroom too which was a nice touch. Really friendly service too“

“This place was recommended to me by a close friend to try, so I made a point to drop by today, and I'm extremely glad I made that choice.Oftentimes when I have a wrap, I usually don't think much of it, it doesn't remind me of what I've had in Paris or in Montreal, referring to the Shawarma trucks.When I came inside, I asked the gentleman behind the counter what is a popular recommendation, what meat choice is fresh and so forth.The chicken shawarma was recommended, as a wrap, that wasn't my first choice I was thinking in my head but I wanted to go with what they were suggesting, and I'm glad that I did. They told me that it would be pretty garlicky and if I was okay with that, and optionally there are onions that he would add too, and I said give me everything.I added a side of hummus as well, which came with pita bread, as I usually like to try people's hummus when I can.I sat down, small cafe like environment, with some great looking hand-painted murals of Aleppo and Armenia, which I did learn it was by local artist which made me really excited. Lunch time, weekday, not crowded, got lucky on the parking.I first got my hummus served first, it was a delight, and I specially love the thin pita bread, that was tender and fresh not hard like a old piece of sunbaked cardboard.While sipping my diet coke, I got lost in the painting in front of me which was a village in armenia, completely mesmerizing in terms of energy.Moments later my wrap was served, and I was excited, because it wasn't the big hard pita bread wrap that I often times see here in the east coast, at least in the Greater Boston area, and it was tightly wrapped, what I mean is it was condensed and tight, not loose and airy, as those loose and airy wraps I often times get falls apart in my hands and pretty much it's a poor eating experience.And I'm glad I got the onions, it's pretty much my first rap that I've eaten here in the Greater Boston area that really sung a wonderful song in my heart, from a foodie to a foodie, this isn't your regular chicken shawarma wrap. It actually didn't remind me of what I usually think of chicken from would taste like, which oftentimes carry the traditional American trappings of iceberg lettuce, and common and mundane ingredients.This had ingredients that I am not natively familiar with, I don't know if it's sumac or a mysterious sauce I haven't tried yet but the onions and the other vegetable like ingredients which I should have paid attention to, a very bright contrasting backdrop against the chicken, which was amazing in its own right, although I'm not a chicken guy, the whole collective eating experience was new to me at least here in america. And dare I say, unlike a meat wrap with veggies that oftentimes boring wraps are, this had the feeling of a medicinal quality, and a feeling of the food temperatures like hot and colds, that often times European cultures in folk, as well as Chinese cultures. Exciting ingredient play that works off of each other that were both sublime, with a deceptive front pallet attack. The garlic oil which the gentleman described was, simply a lot of garlic, really is yet another level of wrap of the whole food experience.tldr; an exciting gem of a place in which my wrap experience superseded anything I've had here in New England thus far.Vegetarian options: They had a lot of other vegetable options, not sure about vegan, but I'm sure you're familiar with what those might be such as falafel, and vegetable wraps, I believe there are also salads too, not to diminish the vegetarian world's experience.“

“Great place for Thai food in the Belmont/Watertown area. While they do a lot of takeout orders, their dine in experience was really great. The pad see-ew was delicious and their spring rolls and gyoza were very good as well. Try the Mango over ice for a nice drink pairing.“

“This place is mostly takeout, not dine-in. We tried to dine in anyway because there were tables and we were ready to eat. The food comes quickly as most TexMex choices share the same building blocks -- and thus the food was mostly already prepared when we ordered. The food was tasty, but not as good as TexMex in Texas.“

“I've been watching Dave's videos for weeks and didn't realize he stopped by here till I got to the door and saw the sign! Well everything about it lives up to the hype. I didn't try the cheese but the pepperoni was fantastic! The owner is a very nice guy and his pizza deserves the 8.1.“

“The perfect old school diner. The coffee is great, my eggs were poached perfectly and the corn beef hash was exactly what I needed. My server, Chris, was super quick, friendly and made great recommendations - most importantly, she refilled my coffee before I could even ask. I’m so happy to see a local business thrive and am excited to come back soon.“

“I had to come back and update my review -- Shine's has changed, and I think it's great. I hadn't been here since pre-COVID, but a few months ago my family decided to give it another try, and we've been back regularly ever since. The menu is almost completely different from what it was back in 2017: they are focused on authentic dishes, and doing it very well. I wish I'd come back sooner! The menu contains a lot of choices that aren't typical, but are very tasty. We particularly like the Rougamo sandwiches (listed on the menu as "burgers", but that's not exactly how I would describe them) and the "pancakes" (more like stuffed crepes, sort of), particularly the shredded potato pancakes. The soups are also excellent and unusual. And there are still areas of the menu we haven't explored at all. (I have no idea what "Toofy" is... guess I'll have to try it.) My only (minor) complaint is that you order at a kiosk (or online, for take-out) so you can't ask the waiter/waitress for any info/recommendations.“

“The drunken noodles with tofu (and I leave out the oyster/fish sauce) is delicious! I've had it probably 15 times in the past year. One of my favorite things to get in Belmont. And everyone is always really friendly too!Vegetarian options: Several good options for plant-forward eaters.“

“We have eaten pizza from Lisa's sometimes and it is OK, with a decent selection of toppings. But, Wednesdays and Fridays my wife wants to eat fish. We usually cook it ourselves but sometimes it is just nice to have no dishes to clean. For us, that is when we order Fish & Chips from Lisa's Family Pizzeria. Surprisingly we have found it hard to find any authentic Fish & Chips in the Boston area. What we have found is that Lisa's F&C is made with fresh haddock and the fry oil seems to be changed regularly so the everything is crisp and the flavor of the fish and potatoes comes through. Portions are generous, price is reasonable, the staff are consistently friendly. and they even include tartar sauce and lemon on the side. A win.(OK - Murph's Law in effect - 1 hour after writing this review, we ordered again. Fish was still good, but fries were changed to steak fries and coleslaw was so soggy with mayo that it was inedible. Not sure what's up? After many orders this was a first so I won't change rating, but thought it should be noted.)“

“I haven't ordered from this place in years but did a couple of times in the last couple months, and the pizza is a marked improvement from what they were putting out regularly some years ago. The crust is nice and crispy, before it was a soggy mess. I find it too greasy still though.“

“Number One Taste is my primary go-to, whether for mini-pork-leek dumplings, too many rice or noodle dishes to mention, and when I'm not feeling well, their chicken won-ton soup (not too salty, and not at all oily, flavor is tasty and fabulous with the slight hint of garlic). Their delivery is always prompt and a smiling exchange with the driver. The same courtesies are present at their site as well.“
