Gary's Tipico, The Keep, Warp and Weft, El Jefe, El Potro, Mill City BBQ and Tremonte are all in Lowell and have pretty good vibes and food.

Blue Taleh and Fuse both have great menus and great drinks. Pretty laid back. Blue Taleh used to have a pianist come in to play, but I’m not sure if they still do.

My favorite is Wee Thai Food. I highly recommend the Chicken Pad Kra Pow.

Try Life Alive. Bowls and smoothies, super chill. Classic hippy vibe.

Depends on the mood you are in. Technically life alive is a chain but the lowell one has completely different vibes from the ones you may find in the greater boston area and it feels like a local vegetarian restaurant,

Sizzling kitchen is also very good, sizzling platers are a real fun experience.

If you are willing to park downtown to pick it up, espressos pizza is (in my families opinion) the best pizza in Lowell. But if you prefer a thin crust tre monte may be more your style.

Up in Pawtucketville there is the eggrole cafe (although maybe still under renovations this week, unsure) and an Egyptian food truck that you can tell by the bright green.

If you want a more hipster vibe, coffee and cotton in mill #5 is a nice little cafe. And you can head to the soda fountain down the hall for a nice float made with vegan ice cream (I just had their homemade moxie with vanilla ice cream today)

If you want breakfast, I am partial to the owl diner, or if you are willing to cross the border to the north into Dracut (where I grew up unfortunately) you can find Bobolas diner which I grew up on. And if you are in the mood for something truly special. Go two towns up (I know, pushing the whole “local” clause but still its worth the travel) just over the NH border to the broken yolk cafe. Almost always has a wait because it has some of the best breakfast foods you will find.

There are also more restaurants I haven’t been to than I have so I recommend try restaurants you haven’t yet. It may be fun.

Man. We moved here the summer before last and are still finding so many amazing places around here. Tasty Dumpling is one of our favs, but most everything we have tried we have enjoyed. We also do Fuji alot and love the little Pizza & Sub stop too.

Not an all the time thing - but the folk festival had an AMAZING array of food.

Try Panela/SAC Club. They do some pretty amazing things and it's one of the very few places that changes the menu periodically to keep things interesting. I do like the keep, warp and weft, tremontes, el potro, etc. But they all do the same thing all the time. After a while it can get a little old. Just my .02

Pho Da Lat, specifically the one on Middlesex St, was always amazing for us.

Simply Khmer has excellent Cambodian food.

Pho 88 has excellent vietnamese food. Pho Dalat is good too and our usual go to because service seems better there

China Dim Sum Lounge has great authentic Chinese food along with Dim Sum in the afternoons.

Sal's and Jimmy Too has nice sweet pizza.

I will add to this. The place is vegan, but the food is good. When you say a place is vegan, that's good news for vegans and often a turn off for non-vegans. I'm not a vegan, at all, and the bowls are damn good. Super filling and delicious, and yeah sure vegan and healthy too. Mostly delicious though.

Noticed no one mentioned Lemon and Thyme, which I would also like to throw out for your consideration.

Honest is a small Indian restaurant in the same strip as Market Basket. It does get busy on the weekends due to the people who travel from all over to eat there.
