50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Lexington

“As a foodie, my wife and I travel not only locally but globally for great food. We stumbled upon this place because it was near one of our favorite Thai food spots. My wife loves Indian food so we thought we would give it a try. The Food was great, the service was very professional and timely and the decor and atmosphere were very warm and homey.“

“I had a special cake made for my daughter-in-laws baby shower. We provided a picture of the cake we wanted and we chose strawberry shortcake. The cake was FABULOUS! The design was perfect, the cake was moist and delicious. Everyone loved it. Thank you so much!!“

“Stopped by here to grab some sandwiches to go for my son and myself on a busy, activity packed Saturday.We got an Italian and a Roast Beef and Turkey on heroes. Very generous portions, packed with fresh crispy lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Nice pickles and hot peppers too, upon request.Very satisfying sandwich.There were 3 families seated enjoying sandwiches and the sandwiches all looked delicious. The pastrami also smelled delicious. I have to go back there to try it next time. :)“

“Super cute atmosphere in the heart of Lexington! The menu is expansive with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. The drinks are very fun and the atmosphere was casual and relaxed. The food was pretty good, portions were generous and the presentation was beautiful!“

“Living in Lexington we naturally have tried most surrounding restaurants. We LOVE Via Lago. It is not noisy. The food tastes very delicious similar to restaurants in New York City. Honestly…The atmosphere is calm, beautiful, with many seating areas. Prices are below other local restaurants. We are going again next week..I can hardly wait.Parking: Big lot 1 minute off side door.Wheelchair accessibility: YES… MY HUSBAND HAS TO BRING HIS WALKER.“

“Love the vibe and the variety of things to do. Super quiet and low-key. You can play ping pong or relax by the fires outside.There are a ton of food and drink options, and friendly people to chat with!Lots of parking and even some outdoor green spaces!I will be back!“

“Mimi was a great server! She went above and beyond to deliver us our dessert in a to-go box while we were waiting outside for our Uber when we ended up leaving before it came out (ended up being some sort of mix up with the kitchen and we had to leave to catch our ride but she was the real MVP because the profiteroles were amazing!!)“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“This review for the donuts. Omg I’ve had donuts in so many states across the country and Brassica’s is by far the best. The flavors are so well executed, unique and complex on the palate. The guava crème fraiche might be my current favorite, but the passion fruit is a close second. If you don’t have a sweet tooth like me, these donuts will really do it for you because they don’t use a traditional sugar glaze like literally every other donut shop. They’re fluffy yeast donuts with a glaze that’s more the consistency of jam and icing. 10/10 run don’t walk.“

“As a sales rep, I’ve taken clients out to the best of the best steakhouses in NYC. Delfriscos, Wolfgang’s, Sparks, Ruth’s Chris, and beyond. Jeremy at the bar was ridiculous. Put up with my stupid Dad jokes, and delivered on all levels.Bro, if you’re reading this. - OPEN YOUR OWN BAR.I ordered the Porcini rubbed Rib Eye here at the Capital Grille Boston. It was SICK. UNREAL. Best steak I’ve ever had.A full fun bustling bar. Everything you’d want for a fun night out.Go. Order whatever. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Fabulous place with excellent food!“

“Excellent food! Great service! Very friendly and attentive servers.“

“I have a very simple ask, and it's that a coffee place can make a good vanilla latte (you'd be surprised how many places can't). 3LF has consistently good coffee, tasty baked goods, and friendly baristas. Only complaint is that the sweet potato spice cake is only available a few times a year!“

“Great little space, good food, loved the beer selection, fabulous jukebox .. staff were engaging and polite and funny“

“So many food options and a lot of space so you can find room to sit even in relatively packed times. Certain restaurants are overpriced but can still find good eats. The parking deck is clutch - if you validate it it's $10 for 3 hrs which is great for that location.“

“We hadn't planned on dining here, but I'm so glad we did. The ramen far exceeded our expectations, especially considering its location near campus. I had anticipated overpriced, mediocre food with subpar service, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ramen was rich in flavor and truly satisfying. The real standout was the exceptional service we received from Bryanna. She was incredibly patient and attentive with our group of seven, ensuring we had everything we needed. Thank you, Bryanna, for your outstanding hospitality. Your warm and accommodating service made our experience truly enjoyable. We greatly appreciate it.“

“I kid you not - one of the best breads I've had in a while. There's a reason why people wait in line for this place. (Don't worry the lines aren't too long and go pretty quickly). I bought some croissants and a Demi baguette - it was foolish of me to think I'd wait till I was home to eat the baguette! Worth the visit and can't wait till I'm back! Also can't wait to try the coffee bar next door...“

“Wife and I had some tests to do at the nearby hospital and decided to get some food and beat traffic. What a gem. Food was fantastic, drinks were stellar. I also want to shout out Andrew who was slinging drinks and great vibes. He helped us with menu items and amazing drink recommendations. I haven’t had this great of Thai food since living in Los Angeles. Great spot, I’ll recommend it to friends, and will most certainly be back. Thanks Andrew and the entire squad!“

“From start to finish it was amazing. The drinks and food were delicious. Atmosphere was so unique and you felt like you were truly in another place. The bartender we had was so different than anyone we've ever met. His food and drink recommendations were spot on.“

“We put our names on the waitlist as a walk-in at the bar and were told the wait would be between 1 hour and 1.5 hours. Next thing we know we’re getting a call after 45 minutes!The restaurant is small inside, a bit crowded, packed with everyone else who saw the NY Times article. The food was high quality and creative. Pasta dishes were somewhat small but this is expected with the traditional Italian format of the menu. The service was exceptionally attentive as well. Their selection of rare Italian Amari is another thing of note - I will be back!“

“Their Monday to Thursday happy hour 3 course meal was awesome. Great portions, high quality and friendly service.“

“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!“

“One of the best meals I've eaten in years. The grilled stuffed octopus was insanely delicious! We sat there compiling a list of people we have to take there next chance we get. Excellent gluten free menu, extremely helpful and friendly staff, lovely outdoor dining.“

“Awesome food!! Awesome people! ❤️❤️“

“came w friends celebratin the end of the school year. we just wanted sumn pretty quick and thank god we found this cute lil place!!!! there's only about six chairs inside, but the vibes are cute. staff was extremely friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about the place. he gave great insight and information about the food, and pointed me towards this BIRRIA RAVIOLI that was honestly fantastic. i'm from california so i'm pretty familiar with birria, and this really brought me home. perfect amount of meat and sauce, and the toppings + bread are a nice touch. currently eatin reheated leftovers rn and its still so good!!“

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

“Decided to walk through Allston on a grody, misty afternoon and look for some food. Walked in by chance and at my SO’s insistence that we give it a look. I loved everything about the aesthetic, and enjoyed the soft music playing in the background. Being able to choose the ingredients I wanted - knowing they were organic and that they looked more than delicious raw...that was the absolute best part. The gentleman at the front was supremely helpful and answered any question thrown at him - by anyone in the shop. The price was more than worth the amount of food received, and the care extended to us as guests was wonderful. I absolutely would recommend anyone to give this a try. Don’t hesitate to ask a question, you will definitely get an answer. :)“

“First visit today, although we live somewhat in the neighborhood and I am already kicking myself for not having got here sooner. Red tabbouleh spicing was very punchy and vivid. Allspice in the stuffed grape leaves make them worth coming back for, not something I think I've ever said about stuffed grape leaves before. Most unforgettable was the red lentil soup with its soft rich velvety texture over two or three layers of different delicious flavors. Great first impression, can't wait to go back, solid A leaning toward A+.“

“amazing pastries!! nice people and very good coffee. I will be back!“

“Patzcuaro continually shows why it is one of the most underrated restaurants in the Greater Boston area. Everything from the food, the drinks, to the service was absolutely top of the line. By far one of the best guacamoles I have EVER had, not to mention the flautas, tacos, and even the tres leches cake - all amazing. I’d give 10 stars if I could, and I can’t wait to go back.“

“We were very impressed with our server Christina. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and well cared for. Her level of attentiveness and service was exceptional. Also, the manager (David) stopped by our table several times. The fact that he took the time to do so sets this restaurant apart from others. Oh, and the food was delicious! Our overall experience was wonderful and we can't wait to go back.“

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

“This Thai restaurant in Cambridge, MA was a fantastic discovery! The food was exceptionally delicious, and we enjoyed every dish we ordered. The vegetable salad with blue rice was a delightful surprise, with its vibrant colors. The service was also excellent, with smiles all around. The only downside was the need for improvement in their furniture seats and decor. Nonetheless, we’ll definitely be coming back on our next visit to Boston for the marathon.“

“This is a horrible place to catch up with out of town friends...Because every amazing bite of the food forces you to silence, to savoring each flavor and spice. You can't think of anything else apart from the taste. Even the crumbs left on the table that I of course didn't stick in my mouth...The care and excitement for the food is admirable, you can tell everything is handmade and thoughtful. I was very lucky to be a guinea pig for one of their menu experiements; maybe it will be called "Toasted Apples Delight" and maybe one day you'll be able to try it too one day. ;)“

“The best Somali food in town. Tried their chicken and rice - absolutely delicious, and they included Sambusa with my order ?FYI: Found the place inside MIT on the 2nd floor. Got a bit lost with maps, but called their number on Google, and they guided me in. The Google pics show another branch in East Boston( not sure if the East Boston spot is open atm ), but the new spot inside MIT is where it's at.“

“Great pizza an salad plus awesome non alcoholic drinks !“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“The mystery about Nzuko is why isn’t there a line out the door to dine here. The food is among the best in all of Boston. The service is so warm you feel like you are eating in someone’s home. The location is a bit remote but I figured sleuthy Cantabridgia would have found this place out and told everyone about the best kept secret in local dining. We’ve eaten here several times now and with only one or two rivals, this is the best food in town.“

“The chicken and steak were excellent !! Great wine and dessert too !!“

“My sister-in-law just sent me and my wife a door dash order to cheer us up, with cold brew and two pains au chocolat. I took one bite and… wow. Buttery but light and flaky, cooked just right - understated perfection in a bag! I grew up in France, and this is honestly one of the best French pastries I have had in 28 years living in the US. Even in France it's not every day you find one this good! We’ll be going there for more, can’t wait to try what else they have to offer!“

“The perfect little dive restaurant. Small dining room, a little worn, but clean. Staff was helpful and friendly. The food was OUTSTANDING. We could not finish our meal, which was sad because we couldn’t take our leftovers with us. Will definitely come again when we’re back in Boston.“

“The food is just delicious and the staff is friendly and happy to have you there. Everything is so fresh and yummy. If you like Indian food at all, or want to try it for the first time - go here. They have meat dishes, vegetarian dishes and vegan dishes.“

“Just got to Boston for our daughter’s graduation and wanted something local but not big to tie us over.Great sandwiches and nice portions. We were a little confused on how to order at first but once we did, we enjoyed our food.Highly recommend Jim’s if you’re around Brighton. $26 for 2 sandwich but kind of expected that in a big city.“

“If you are craving a delicious ceviche and in the mood to try some new dishes, then Celeste is a must try! Came here with a group and we sat outside and what a great experience. The food and service were impeccable. A must try of the scallops and the steak!“

“Incredible customer service, the kind that is rare to find! Above and beyond! The pastries are delicious. The Cruffins are light, airy and just the right amount of sweetness. We support small businesses, and this one is a hidden gem!“

“We found this place near our hotel after a long travel day & were so happy the kitchen is open late. We lucked out! The food was delicious, not fancy or pretending to be more than it is, just solidly well prepared, priced, and presented. Staff were friendly and helpful with beer suggestions and tastings...a nice neighborhood vibe. We ended up going back a second time during our stay and had just as yummy a meal.“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

“This was a lovely place to eat with good appetizers and mains and great service. I only give it a 4 stars because some of the mains lacked the flavors I wished to see.I like that the thai tea isnt too milky, they were delicious. The shumai and gyoza were very good. We tried a number of the mains- the spicy fried rice, the “fat kid at heart”, drunken noodles, etc. I wish my noodle dish was a bit more flavorful and the drunken noodles were not spicy, which is unusual as its a spicy dish. I think they should at least offer the option to make it spicier. However, everything tasted fresh and I appreciated some of the authenticity.The staff were accommodating and the guy serving us (wish i caught his name) was cheerful and helpful. We sat outside and its perfect on a nice day.Vegetarian options: They have delicious veggie options that are clearly labeled“

“We've been going to Cha Yen regularly since they opened, and their Thai food is a blessing to the Watertown community! The food is always delicious and fresh, and they are excellent at accommodating substitutions. We normally do takeout, but dine in is also great and we can't wait until they open their larger space across the street. If you are looking for excellent Thai food, give Cha Yen a chance!“

“The fried chicken here isn’t bad. I got the Yang yum chicken which was a little soggy cus of the sauce. Speaking of the sauce…it was very sweet and didn’t have much spice to it. It tastes kinda like general tso sauce? I wouldn’t recommend that flavor. The spicy garlic, on the other hand, was super crispy and fragrant with garlic seasoning. Even though it wasn’t that spicy either, I really enjoyed it!For the small portion, you get 6 wings. For the large, you get 12. Note that these wings are HUGE, I mean one drumstick is like double the size of a drumstick in other places. They are just massive. One small is definitely more than one person could eat, which isn’t a bad thing. You do get your money’s worth!Though I must admit that bb.q chicken around the corner is still the best Korean fried chicken. Coreanos was a bit more greasy and more thickly battered, and the flavors are better at bb.q.“
