Welcome to the den of Boston restaurants by city location. The exceptional category is the finest of dining and then classifying the seafood bests & cocktail greats also felt right. If a restaurant is in one of the former three categories it is omitted from the neighborhood specific list, where my all time favorites are marked with an asterisk.
The closed restaurant list has undergone extensive renovations. It is larger than ever before. A lot has changed in Boston and Cambridge since the pandemic; we said goodbye to so many gems. {Please let the closed list live on as a solid memory of the Boston dining scene 2010 - 2020!} As a Mom of two living in the suburbs I no longer have a leg up on the new new, but what is left here are the longstanding greats! I hope you enjoy!

ReplyDeletewhat about a Food Truck group? Bon Me and Clover sometimes has pop-ups in other locations.
We just moved to Boston, so this is so helpful list - so excited to try more restaurants!
ReplyDeleteI hope you know I refer to this list OFTEN (like now) when I'm looking for restaurant ideas! Any favorite brunch spots? :)
