Lulu Green: What’s Vegetarian Editorial Review

Lulu Green is a meatless restaurant, cafe, and bar at 675 West Kendall Street in Cambridge, and you can eat there Tuesday through Sunday. The owners closed their South Boston cafe at 246 West Broadway on October 17, 2026, after seven years, and moved their focus to the Kendall Square location. This profile covers the Cambridge restaurant, which opened in early 2026 in the storefront that PlantPub used to hold.

Nothing on the menu contains meat or fish. The proteins are seitan, mushrooms, and plant-based meat, and the dairy and eggs are a different story. The menu lists cheddar, mozzarella, feta, parmesan, labneh, and a chocolate cream cheese cheesecake. Brunch has an Omelet of the Day and buttermilk pancakes. The French macarons carry a vegan label, but the menu doesn’t mark the other dishes that way, so vegans should ask about each one.

Brunch runs all day on Sunday and until 4 p.m. on Saturday. The Brunch Sandwich 2.0 stacks a chickpea egg, tofu bacon, a potato pancake, and cheddar on a grilled pretzel bun for $17.55. The Brunch Tacos use seitan asada and scrambled plant eggs, and the Meatball Shakshuka comes with a warm za’atar pita for $24. Lulu Pancakes are gluten free and cost $19.75.

Lunch and dinner lean on seitan. Start with the Maple Hot Wings, which are hand battered and glazed with maple hot sauce for $15.95. Cambridge Day calls them the flagship dish. The Tacos al Pastor use guajillo chili-marinated seitan with grilled pineapple, and the restaurant lists them as a Boston Magazine Best of Boston 2026 item at $22. The Steak Frites costs $25 and comes with zhoug and parmesan truffle fries. A Cambridge Day review says the steak is plant-based meat from Chunk Foods. Sandwiches include the Korean BBQ Mushroom Short Rib Burrito, the Hot Honey Glazed Crispy Chick’n Sandwich at $16.95, and a Double Smash Burger at $19. Prices on the Toast ordering page can run a little different from the restaurant’s own menu.

Lighter eaters have choices. The Warm Quinoa Bowl, the most popular bowl at $15.55, pairs quinoa and kale with tahini-marinated beets, roasted squash, labneh, and cashew crunch, and carries a gluten-free tag. The Sweet Potato and Broccoli Caesar costs $16.65. The Mezze Trio brings hummus, red pepper muhammara, olives, and warm pita for $15.95 to $18, and the Lemony Lentil Soup costs $8.25.

Drinks go beyond coffee. The coffee bar pours locally roasted Barismo beans, and the smoothies include the OG Açaí Bowl at $13.45 and a Mango Sunrise infused with lion’s mane mushroom. The cocktail list runs from a Sarti Spritz for $14 to an Espresso Martini called Social Anxiety for $16, with zero-proof options such as a Phony Negroni for $12.

Hours run Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mondays are closed. You can reserve through the form on the restaurant’s site or order takeout and delivery online. Cambridge Day describes a shaded patio that overlooks Henri A. Termeer Square, which suits a summer brunch.

Order the Maple Hot Wings and the Tacos al Pastor, then split the Chocolate Cheesecake Jar.
