Bar Vlaha

GreekBoston$$$

Bar Vlaha is one of the best greek restaurants in Boston for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Boston.

Bar Vlaha occupies a particular lane that very few Boston-area Greek restaurants have even attempted: the food traditions of the Vlach people, nomadic shepherds from Greece's mountainous interior, translated into a modern tavern on Beacon Street in Brookline.

Bar Vlaha is worth putting on the shortlist for Arni Stin Souvla (Slow Spit-Roasted Lamb Leg, Garlic, Rosemary) and Pestrofa (Whole Grilled Rainbow Trout, Herb and Caper Ladolemono)—the two orders to build a first visit around. Think of it as a polished night out rather than a quick, casual stop.
