Belmont Vegetarian Restaurant — Restaurant in Worcester

My favorite lunch in central Mass for sure. Belmont Vegetarian hasn’t changed much over the years, and honestly, it doesn’t need to. Every single thing I’ve eaten there has been great.

The premise is extremely simple: choose a medium or a large plate and fill it up with a select number of items from the menu. The barbecue, seiten, mac & cheese, and sautéed veggies are always favorites of mine. Everything is seasoned well and very, very filling. If we have to drive near Worcester, we always look forward to a stop here.

In fact, I would say this is probably a favorite pitstop of Massachusetts vegetarians in general. I’ve run into friends from my hometown (over an hour away) at Belmont, doing the same thing as me: filling up on predictably great food with minimal fuss at a fair price. But even non veg people seem to love this place. I just ate there for lunch today and am already thinking about eating it again. Wish I’d gotten another...

Incredible vegan lunch!! Split a large brown rice bowl with “everything” with my partners. More than enough for two hungry people.

Belmont basically has two menu items - patties and bowls. Bowls are large or small; brown or white rice. Then, you can choose any or all of the vegan options for the bowl. Bowls are served in a foil tray with plastic top - easy to take home and enjoy.

Mac n cheese is to die for. Curry is flavorful and not awfully spicy. Loved the pepper steak. Personally don’t love collards or cabbage (which is most of steamed veggies) but my partner loved it. I could live without the BBQ because it’s quite sweet.

Restaurant is really just a take out place. A few booths and tables outside of COVID times. You can call ahead but it takes less than 5 minutes if you order at the restaurant.

Literally parking along the steep, busy, snowbanked Belmont St was the only bad part of the...

In the area for the afternoon and excited to find vegan Jamaican food. This is a small hole in the wall, order at the counter restaurant with choices listed on the chalk board for the day. That might not sound appealing but I was blown away by the flavors. You can mix and match or get everything, choice of medium or large bowl and white or brown rice ($2 charge to fill the bowl without rice). The collard greens were perfection, the Mac and cheese creamy, pepper steak a good sweetness, beans melt in your mouth, and curry mild but tasty! I would be in serious trouble if I lived close by. I will be sure to return for lunch/dinner whenever I am in the area. *The owner/chef is a beautiful human with a warm heart and soul. He was very happy to answer our questions and have conversation while we dined in. Many...
