Dining
A variety of venues and menus is available here. Lasell Village offers residents their choice of a daily meal, served in two restaurant-style venues: a dining room with wait-staff service, and a café with either wait-staff or self-service. Both offer a selection of beautifully presented dishes. There is also a private dining room available to residents to host special events.
Each member of the creative culinary team is encouraged to submit recipes, drawn from diverse international backgrounds. Recipes are tested in the kitchen, and are then included in the menus. Twice each year, residents are invited to tour the kitchen, with each tour culminating in a full-course meal served right in the kitchen area. Menus include a range of options to suit dietary needs and desires. Takeout service is also available for most meals.
Please note: Lasell Village is an active senior living community, located in Newton, Massachusetts, just 11 miles from downtown Boston. We’re a pet-friendly community (we allow dogs and cats).
