VEGGIE PLANET - Vegetarian and Vegan
47 Palmer Street, Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA
(617) 661-1513
These folks have arguably created a little utopian planet in Harvard Square, offering food and music to nourish the soul. The inventive vegetarian pizzas and rice dishes are created with mostly organic and locally-produced ingredients and lots of love, while the organic bread (the dough purchased from a nonprofit bakery) is fresh baked in a special “ecological” oven. In the evenings, the restaurant becomes Club Passim, a well-known folk music venue that attracts local and national talent. And as if all this weren’t enough to warm the heart, Veggie Planet donates a percentage of its profits to organizations promoting social and environmental change.

COUNTRY LIFE VEGETARIAN BUFFET - Vegetarian and Vegan
200 High St. Boston, MA 02110
(617) 951-2462

This is one of the few restaurants in Boston where vegetarians can walk in knowing that they can eat everything that is on the menu. Located in the Financial District, the all-you-can-eat buffet is a real steal: $6.95 for lunch and $7.95 for dinner. Sunday brunch is $9.75. No animal products are ever used here. The buffet items are substantial and filling - a friend called it veggie comfort food. Entrees range from Italian to Mexican, Indian, Hawaiian and much more. Stars of the menu are the spaghetti and wheat balls, soy cheese pizza and tofu tacos. There is also, of course, a huge salad bar. Don’t forget to top off your meal with a scoop of yummy soy ice cream.
