More about dining in Boston
Boston's dining scene is more serious than its national reputation suggests. No. 9 Park has anchored the city's fine dining culture for over two decades. Nightshade Noodle Bar brought Southeast Asian cooking at a level that had no precedent in New England. Neptune Oyster holds the standard for the region's finest seafood. Giulia and Sarma represent the neighbourhood Italian and Middle Eastern cooking that has made the South End and Cambridge essential for visitors. The city rewards diners who look past the obvious.
