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). The whimsical Harvard Square restaurant continues its vegan dinner series on November 25 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 Siena Farms. 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.
