As a vegetarian, I know that one of the biggest challenges to traveling is finding suitable restaurants. Here, I’ve compiled a few of my favorite vegetarian restaurants in Boston.

For an upscale dining experience, try Radius’ four course vegetarian tasting menu. If you really want to live it up, then this urban chic restaurant in the heart of downtown Boston will also pair wines with their vegetarian offerings. The restaurant is across the harbor from the newly opened Institute of Contemporary Art.

If you’re looking for more casual dining, check out Veggie Planet in Harvard Square. Veggie Planet serves tasty vegetarian and vegan specialties like pizza, soup, salads, and rice dishes, plus their dining room doubles as a folk music venue (called Club Passim) most nights of the week. While in Cambridge, also check out the Harvard Museum of Natural History.

For vegan fare that even your carnivorous companions will love, head to Grasshopper Restaurant in Allston (near Harvard Street on the B-line). Grasshopper serves savory noodles, rice, tofu, and a very convincing non-dairy cheesecake.

If you happen to be in town on October 20, then check out the 12th Annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival, featuring free food samples, cooking demonstrations, presentations, and more.
