The Friendly Toast
50 Independence Way, Danvers MA
Once a mom and pop late night breakfast joint in Portsmouth NH, The Friendly Toast now has several locations in MA as well. You can count on them for a veggie burger and fries, but they also often have some interesting Asian and/or pasta vegan entrées.
Notch Brewing
283r Derby Street
Notch doesn’t have any vegan food (except pickles) but it’s great fun to bring your own to their outdoor biergarten, have a brew or a lemonade and enjoy a view of the South River, once a major shipping area in Salem (now often a patch of mud with ducks in it).
The Lobster Shanty
25 Front Street, in Artist’s Row
Not a wide variety for the vegan — just a Beyond Burger and sides — but this is where the locals go for a pleasant place to sit outside, have drinks and watch Salem go by.
