Fine Dining for a Vegetarian?

I would like to buy a gift certificate for a couple who live in Boston. One of them is a fairly strict vegetarain. Any suggestions? I would like for them to enjoy at least three courses with some drinks for $200.

    Thank for these excellent suggestions! I ended up getting three gift certificates to Oleana, Craigie on Main, and Hammersley.

      Fantastic choices! As a vegetarian, my son has loved both Hamersley's and Oleana, and a friend recently went to Craigie and just loved her veggie tasting menu.

      I recommend True Bistro in Teele Square- I think that's Somerville, but I could be wrong about that.
      True Bistro is an elegant vegan restaurant!!

          They were closed on the 4th. Otherwise, they seem to be doing pretty good business. There was a 45 minute wait for a table a couple of weekends ago.

        Journeyman has great vegetarian tasting menus with variable numbers of courses so you can roll your own adventure.

          Hamersley's Bistro always has a tempting list of vegetarian dishes & tasting menu. I like that I can order something from that collection because it often give the perfect counterpoint to the rest of my meal.

          Right now the choices make me want to pay them a visit.

            T.W. Food always offers two tasting menus; one for vegetarians and one for omnivores. It's a fine choice, as are the other restaurants already mentioned.

              My wife is not a vegetarian, but will often order the vegetarian tasting menu at Craigie on Main.

                My GFs favorite in all of Boston is the Oleana vegetable prix-fixe tasting menu in Cambridge.
