Lively vegetarian eatery for burgers & fries with vegan options
"If you’re looking for meatless comfort food, then you should head to Saus. Everything at the Bow Market location is vegetarian (and can be made vegan upon request), which means fries with curry ketchup, poutine with kimchi, and cauliflower-falafel sandwiches are all available for dinner tonight. Delivery is available through a number of platforms, and don’t forget to add some beer and wine to your order as well." - joel ang
"You shouldn’t leave Boston without visiting Somerville, a place that - until it gets too expensive for anyone but bankers in 10 years - is where Boston goes to get a little creative and a little weird. The restaurant that best embodies this place is Tanam, a tiny 10-seat Filipino restaurant that’s run by just two women in Bow Market, a former warehouse that now houses a brewery, comedy club, and places where you can buy jewelry out of reclaimed wallpaper. For $75, you'll enjoy a seafood-heavy meal you eat with your hands on a table covered in banana leaves." - dan secatore
"If you’re put off by communal seating and restaurants that make you go outside to go the bathroom, don’t bother coming to Tanam. But if you want amazing Filipino food served to you directly by the chef who made it who also gives you a personal history of each dish, then head to this tiny spot in Bow Market. There’s not much by way of decor, but that’s kind of appropriate because you won’t want anything to take your attention away from the roasted pork belly or spicy coconut milk mussels. For $84 per person, you'll get a 19+ component dinner tossed on banana leaves. " - dan secatore
"Bow Market in Union Square - a converted storage garage that now houses a brewery, art studios, and shops that sell vintage Pez dispensers - is one of the coolest places in all of Boston. And Tanam, a Filipino restaurant that consists of just a single 10-seat table, is not only cool, but outstanding. Come here on Wednesday night for a communal meal of shellfish and pork that you eat with your hands off banana leaves, or on the weekend for a five-course meal of things like lobster spring rolls with caviar and spicy vinegar." - dan secatore
"Every Wednesday night, Tanam in Boston covers its 10-seat table with banana leaves for a communal Filipino feast that you eat with your bare hands. It’s the type of meal you immediately tell your friends about - but more importantly, it’s also really, really good. Whether you come for that ask-a-stranger-to-pass-you-the-crab-legs kamayan meal, or Tanam’s weekend tasting menus, you’re going to spend two hours eating one tangy, sometimes spicy, always interesting dish after another. You might not always be in the mood to share a table with strangers, but don’t worry - the kare-kare oxtail stew and pork belly asado buns here seem to have a way of breaking down barriers." - team infatuation
