If the idea of vegan food brings to mind frozen cardboard-flavored
dinners from the earthy-crunchy section of Star Market, it might be
time to expand your horizons with a visit to the Soiree Room at UpStairs on the Square (91 Winthrop Street, Cambridge, 617.864.1933, upstairsonthesquare.com). The whimsical Harvard Square restaurant continues its vegan dinner series
tonight at 6:30 p.m. with a menu featuring locally sourced veggies,
including sunchokes from Eva Sommaripa in South Dartmouth and butternut
squash from Sudbury’s Sienna Farm. The four-course dinner ($45; $65
with wine pairings) combines good-for-you food with necessary
indulgences (wine and dessert among them). For reservations, call
617.864.1933.
