Top Restaurants to Enjoy in Boston

From high-end dining to neighborhood cafes and pizza to seafood, you definitely won’t leave Boston hungry.  With the cooking world being quite small in Boston, every chef in town has worked for just about every other chef so you’ll see a lot repetition in the menus.

The hottest place to eat is Toro which is located in the south-end of Boston, the Beacon Hill Restaurant and the 24-Hour Restaurant.

One of the must eat meals in Boston is lobster which is best eaten at Legal Sea Foods. Not what you would normally picture at places serving the best seafood around to be an internationally famous chain but this is something not to pass up.

Casa Romero is a place you can walk past a thousand times and never notice.  Found in an alley close to Newbury Street, this Mexican hideaway serves delicious traditional cuisine.

If you’re in Harvard Square, Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage is a not so average mom-and-pop place that serves scrumptious burgers and extraordinary onion rings.

Having a craving for some fine dining?  Then Mamma Maria combines the traditional great osso buco and short ribs with fresh-daily ingredients with creative techniques.

At the other end of the culinary spectrum, Pizzeria Regina is the classic pizza parlor.  The traditional brick oven produces a perfect crust that complements the tasty toppings.

For dessert, slip over to the Hi-Rise Bread Company.  No one is going to want to share these cookies.  The hardest decision you will have to make is which cookies to choose from.  The deep, dark chocolate sandwich cookies that are more brownie-like than crispy are double-stuffed with an extra scoop of vanilla cream.  Truly, some desirable treats to pick from.

Another buzz worthy place to indulge your senses is the Cognac Bistro.  You may thing you are at the wrong place but no, this bistro was once home to a gas station.  Set that picture out of your mind and try the classic French dishes with local seafood and other fresh ingredients.

The concept of a raw bar is not always appealing to others; however, you will have to hold yourself back from eating the deep-cup oysters and Wellfleet in one bit.  They have taken the French’s brasserie ideas and ways and put their own twist on them.  Not everything is raw as you will find a few cooked things on the menus such as the crab claws.
