Event Planning: Plant-based Options in the Boston Area

The following information has been assembled by volunteers, and does not represent endorsement by the MA Sierra Club.

Last update: February 2024

Restaurants: Many restaurants serve plant-based options these days, both vegetarian and vegan. To make sure that you or someone else will be accommodated, it’s a good idea to call a restaurant in advance, and ask detailed questions about what they serve. If you prefer to hold your event at a restaurant that is completely vegetarian or vegan, the Boston Vegetarian Society has an extensive list.

Caterers: Most caterers in the Boston area serve omnivores, but will offer vegetarian/vegan selections upon request. There are also several caterers who serve exclusively vegetarian/vegan food.
