You have a couple of vegan options if you are planning to visit TD Garden for a Boston Celtics/Bruins game or an event and honestly, you can make it through with both choices.
Along with the Garden’s vegan food options, we have provided you with the policies you may need to know if you’re thinking about bringing your own food or drinks in. We also list their bag policies since these tend to go hand in hand.
And finally, we researched around the arena to find a couple of good vegan-friendly spots that you can check out before or after the game.
We’re always looking to improve our guides and keep them as up-to-date as possible, so if you know something we don’t – please reach out and let us know!

Vegan Options Near TD Garden
We did some research looking around the garden to try to find a couple of good spots to grab a bite to eat before or after the game. This is by no means a comprehensive list, just a couple of places that caught our attention.
Always double-check days/hours open when making plans.
Cocobeet
100 City Hall Plaza, Boston, MA 02108
Cocobeet is located less than a mile south of the arena.
It’s a grab-n-go location where you can pickup a salad, cold-pressed juices and smoothies. If you’re on the way to the arena and need something quick, this is a great place to stop and get something really healthy to get you through the game.
Terramia Ristorante
Located even closer to TD Gardens (about a half mile) is a vegetarian/vegan spot called Terramia Ristorante. They serve up authentic Italian fare with a plant-based twist. On their menu, you can find everything from Polpette to Gnocchi Ai Funghi.
Reviews of the place are amazing and people seem to really love the ravioli so keep that in mind if you get a chance to check this restaurant out.
QDOBA Mexican Eats
101 Causeway St, Boston, MA 02114
A vegan-friendly chain directly across the street from TD Garden. Order a burrito, bowl, salad or tacos. Get some nachos with salsa and/or guacamole on the side. See our complete vegan guide for QDOBA for detailed information.
