Bijgewerkt 15 december 2023

Boston’s best restaurants may be renowned for their top-notch lobster and clam chowders. But there’s a whole new food world nestled in the city’s labyrinthine streets—and those of its eclectic urban neighbors, Cambridge and Somerville.

A longstanding Turkish spot holds court in Inman Square. A posh Back Bay steakhouse draws crowds for its acclaimed wine list and lobster-studded mains. In Beacon Hill, a James Beard Award-winning chef impresses with her signature prune-stuffed gnocchi.

Massachussetts’s capital is indeed your oyster. Read on for a guide to 22 of Boston’s greatest restaurants that are just as diverse as the city’s global footprint.

South End
Brick walls, sumptuous drapes, and hand-painted murals complete the boho-inspired vibe at this subterranean South End landmark, once singled out as a must-visit by The New York Times. Jazz, blues, rock, folk, and everything in between fills its cozy nooks, along with hits from executive chef Ryan Skeen’s locally sourced menu. Choose from chicken wings served in one of three ways (with sesame chile, hot sauce, or smoked Turkish pepper) and main dishes including grilled salmon with parsnip puree, tabouli, and harissa vinaigrette.

Beacon Hill
James Beard Award-winner Barbara Lynch’s name is synonymous with top-notch cuisine in Boston and beyond, and her fine-dining flagship made waves since it opened in 1998. No. 9 Park’s refined service, which pairs well with the tony Beacon Hill surroundings, is as much on display as the sophisticated French-Italian fare. Expect a six-course prix-fixe chef’s tasting menu and an a la carte menu featuring bar delights and Lynch’s signature prune-stuffed gnocchi with foie gras. No. 9 Park’s accolades stretch as long as its James Beard Award-winning wine list: The restaurant boasts an AAA Four Diamond Rating plus top awards from Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Boston magazine, and others.

Though owners Nivia and Hector Piña only opened this Cuban restaurant in 2016, their ties to the area’s culinary community run deep. They’ve helmed the Puerto Rican spot Vejigante Restaurant since 2012 and Dominican stalwart Merengue since 1994. The vibrant interiors at Doña Habana channel Old Havana with modern accents, featuring murals, bright walls, and sleek booths with handsome dark tones. The menu offers more than just the classic Cuban sandwich (though the mini Cubanitos are notable), with options including stuffed empanadas, house ceviche that zings with fresh lime juice, and standout paella. Don’t forget to save room for a mojito—there are 25 versions to choose from.

The experience includes one of every small plate from an extensive menu featuring Aegean classics such as calamari and tzatziki dip with freshly baked pita, plus lesser-known dishes including mastelo sifnos, or braised pork belly with fennel and gigandes beans. Krasi transports diners to the Mediterranean with just 52 seats, warm lighting, and blue-and-white accents galore, enhanced by one of the most extensive Greek wine lists in the country.

Bar Mezzana was the anchor restaurant that kickstarted the revitalization of Boston’s Ink Block when it opened in 2016. Regulars come for chef Colin Lynch’s hearty coastal Italian dishes such as paccheri pasta with lobster, lobster crema, green onion, and tomato. Lynch also dishes up creative crudos, a skill he picked up while working at acclaimed chef Barbara Lynch’s Menton (though the two aren’t related). To that inspired fare, add a unique spritz lineup, and it’s no surprise the accolades keep rolling in, including one especially enthusiastic nod from Condé Nast Traveler.

This Seaport District favorite is steered by two-time James Beard Award nominee chef Jeremy Sewall and partner Shore Gregory. The brick-and-wood beauty received rave reviews from the likes of Bon Appétit for its celebration of seafood when it opened in 2013. Especially the most beautiful bivalve—the oyster—harvested fresh from Duxbury and shucked here by the bucketful. The mussels are magic, too, steamed in lager and served with grilled sourdough, as is the squid ink rigatoni with littleneck clams and smoked uni butter. You can spot the seafood displayed on ice in the treasure trove by the entrance, which lends a swish nautical vibe to the industrial space and sprawling patio.

South Boston
Boston has one of the country’s largest populations of people with Irish ancestry, and the Irish connection is on full display at Amrhein’s. The oldest restaurant and bar in South Boston (home to the city’s epic St. Patrick’s Day parade) has a history that stretches more than 130 years, confirmed by an antique wooden bar where locals and visitors toast with pints of Guinness. The food menu is mostly comfort classics such as gooey French onion soup, Parmesan haddock, and burgers, ideal for pairing with a local brew. Hot tip: Amrhein’s is one of the few restaurants in the neighborhood with dedicated free parking.

Like the hearty steaks—some tipping the scales at 40 ounces—the three- and four-pound lobsters here are intended for those with serious appetites. You’ll also find chunks of the Maine delicacy appearing in favorites such as buttery-crumb mac and cheese (one of the most-ordered sides), or swimming in lobster thermidor with mushroom and Cognac cream sauce. No matter what diners choose, there’s an ample selection of drinks including a robust spirits list, cocktails, locally sourced craft beers, and wines by the glass. The vintage list has won Wine Spectator’s Best Award of Excellence several times over since 2016.

In a neighborhood brimming with Italian spots, Bricco’s bright flavors—delivered through the restaurant’s modern spins on regional Italian dishes—shine bright. Italian seafood staple octopus finds new zip with a ginger and jalapeño crust. The farfalle tartufate pasta is a savory land-and-sea symphony with lobster, fava beans, pancetta, and black truffle shavings. The inspired interpretations may encourage you to recreate the experience at home, which is easy, thanks to an adjoining grocery store, basement-level bakery, and nearby pasta and meat shop.

The bold orange and pink decor at this casual Back Bay beauty matches the cuisine: bright, rich, and surprising. Back when executive chef Leo Romero opened the spot in 1972, traditional Mexican cuisine was unheard of in Boston. But his dishes such as the camarones a la diabla (shrimp in spicy chipotle sauce) and the best-selling pastor tacos, filled with pork, pineapple, and cilantro, stand the test of time. When the weather is warm, the lively dining room overflows onto the patio, where diners throw back margaritas and smoky mezcal cocktails well into the night.

The clubby steakhouse is Boston’s only spot to receive the Grand Award from Wine Spectator for its power-packed wine list. It also frequently claims the top honor as Boston’s best steakhouse from Boston magazine, with additional nods from Zagat and The Boston Globe. The plates served up within the old-school digs don’t disappoint. Come with high hopes for the filet and the 100 day dry-aged prime ribeye. Leave—very—full and satisfied.

Williams’s skills are gaining recognition outside the city, too: In 2020, Food & Wine named him one of its Best New Chefs.

Massachusetts’s first English settlers had three basic ideals: self-reliance, industriousness, and simplicity. The foundations of chef-owner Will Gilson’s Puritan & Co. are strikingly similar, and he’s been putting out beautiful New England-inspired plates since 2012, with food sourced from local farmers. Gilson also grew up on a farm, where he first earned his chops cooking true farm-to-table dinners. Puritan & Co., the first of his empire (which also includes The Lexington, Geppetto, Cafe Beatrice, and Puritan Oyster), is an urban cafe serving modern American cuisine. Fluffy layered Parker House dinner rolls are an ode to a Boston staple while Berkshire pork belly and seared scallops offer creative spins on area classics with embellishments such as fennel and romanesco.

Shareable plates and larger options lean vegetarian with other New England-inspired favorites including grilled broccoli with squash hummus and grilled bluefish perked up with pickles and zesty remoulade. Instead of multiple spins on the pub grub classic, the single burger here is a thick, smoky black angus patty topped with secret sauce and a housemade roll, with only around 40 available per night.

Those with more robust appetites can dig into several sizzling paellas, available as solo or shared portions. Whether you’re tucking in on a sultry summer night or warming up in the winter, Dali offers the ideal hideaway to pass time sipping sangrias, sampling a sherry flight, or even ordering a porró—the Catalonian wine pitcher has its own spout, so no drinking glass is needed.
