Grasshopper Vegan Restaurant

Where to Eat Vegetarian and Vegan Food Around Boston

"After closing for a bit, this beloved vegan and vegetarian restaurant is open in its new location within the 88 Market Food Court. The menu is thankfully unchanged, with all the fan-favorites, including bowls of tofu in spicy coconut curry, a wealth of noodle dishes, and warming soups. The meals feature seitan, tofu, and tons of vegetables, and the Grasshopper Supreme — chili basil sauce slathered on steamed eggplant — is a must-try." - Nathan Tavares, Celina Colby, Megan Hennessey, Eater Staff

Boston Restaurant and Bar Closings, May 2024 | Eater Boston

"After nearly 30 years, the cult-favorite vegan restaurant Grasshopper in Allston is shutting down on May 29; owner Hoai Nguyen told Boston.com that the restaurant’s lease had been terminated and there was another prospective tenant willing to pay higher rent, though a landlord representative disputed that and said the lease was ending naturally and they did not want to renew due to ongoing property maintenance issues and unpaid rent. Nguyen hopes to re-open Grasshopper in another location, ideally in Allston or Brighton." - Erika Adams

"There’s something called an “Eggplant and Tofu Surprise” at Grasshopper, an all-vegan spot in Allston. We usually think surprises are as ridiculous as Tesla’s current stock prices, but it turns out this dish - made with a spicy black bean sauce - is pretty good. Perhaps the only disappointment is that there are no chapulines on the menu - yes, we know, they’re not vegan. Place your order here. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
