Sweet Potato Ravioli with crispy Shallots and Lemongrass coconut sauce😍 Squash with Salsa Verde 😍 and Kaitafi with Pistachio Rosewater and white chocolate 😍❤️

Absolutely delightful. Went for brunch, got Benedict and side of seitan sausage. So fresh, so light, but deeply satisfying. Every bite was a joy, definitely will be back, and to see the dinner fare

"Settle into the elegant dining room for decadent yet guilt-free dishes such as red curry with tofu, crusted tempeh with pea and shell bean ragout, and blackened seitan with creamy grits."

Food was good but mostly deep fried – definitely get the oyster mushrooms though! We were kindly asked to leave because there was a group waiting. But overall it's a nice fine-dining vegan restaurant.

You will love the Muscadet wine with the wilted spinach salad. The oyster mushrooms are a delicious appetizer, especially if you're with someone who is reluctant to eat vegan food.

Sunday brunch was yummy. As a non vegan I was impressed. The crepe here was great.

You don't need to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy this amazing food. I have been here twice in 2 weeks. Waitstaff is awesome and know the menu well. Excellent wine list too.

I got the cannelloni and the phyllo with fruit (did not specify only mango), he got the raviolis and death by chocolate cake

I’m not vegan, but all the food tasted amazing. Really loved the beet trio salad, mushroom risotto, and the cheesecake.

Great brunch. Tasty seitan burger and delicious lavender ice cream. Nice atmosphere and friendly people.

Highlights for dinner include the cornmeal-crusted oyster mushrooms, the Boston lettuce salad, and the phyllo purse. For brunch: tofu benedict all the way!

Absolutely amazing! I'm an alpha carnivore, but I loved everything. The green mole is especially good.

Waffles here are prime. Sweet but not too sweet -- wouldn't be able to tell the difference between these and non-vegan waffles!

This place is awesome. Take it from a carnivore, food is good & smoked tofu is your friend. They make it taste like bacon. BACON!

If you get tired of the cheaper vegan staples, True Bistro is a nice splurge for a special occasion.

The food here is awesome as is the service. The teele square burger is kind of sloppy-Joe-like and the crispy oyster mushroom tacos are to die for! #NOM

Definitely try the strawberry cobbler, too. Or the ‘death-by-chocolate’ cake. Or both. Read more

Delicious fixed price menus when they have them. Wonderful owner!

Pretty good food, fun atmosphere. Grab a bottle of wine and get drunk feasting on ravioli. Your Sunday ends well here.

It's a great dinner date if you want to impress a vegan, or you're a vegan wanting to impress another vegan (or even a nonvegetarian).

Tofu scrambles- seitan sausage and the biscuits! So good!
Maynard ClarkMay 11, 2012
Near bus stops (#87, #88, #89/#93) to Green Line (Lechmere) and Red Line (Davis Square).One CAN get there from anywhere in Boston, not merely from Arlington (next door, to the west).

Fried oyster mushrooms with horseradish sauce and root beer make an awesome combo.

The dining room is simple but gorgeous, rivaling any place serving $20 to $30 entrées in Boston or Cambridge. Read more

Burgers at Brunch are amazing!

The owners AND the staff were SO wonderfully gracious to our large group of 11; go there often!

Go to grasshopper, veggie galaxy, veggie planet...pretty much anywhere else instead

Prices a little higher; "our" 'clique' has no problems with that. Read more
Maynard ClarkOctober 15, 2011
A little pricey, but WAY UNDER what comparable restaurants would cost were they not vegan.
Ankit BhargavaAugust 6, 2014
The bread served with oil was super hard to chew. Tofu was uncooked and the mushrooms were dry. Not recommended.

Coffee is delicious!

Fantastic food and staff

Worst service ever and they don't know how to cook anything without frying it. Don't go.
