North Street Grille is one of the best brunch restaurants in Boston for brunch, especially if you want a strong option in Boston.

North Street Grille has been doing the North End thing since 2004, and Robin Sidell's "Welcome Home" pitch isn't just signage — it's a 8am-to-4pm room built for the kind of brunch you linger over until someone orders a second coffee.

Editorial review•Nov 6, 2025

North Street Grille has been doing the North End thing, and Robin Sidell's "Welcome Home" pitch isn't just signage — it's a 8am-to-4pm room built for the kind of brunch you linger over until someone orders a second coffee. The menu leans into sweet-and-decadent without apology. Start with the banana bourbon French toast, which shows up in nearly every rave I came across, then split the blueberry ricotta pancakes across the table because the portions here are genuinely huge — "leave full" huge. The cinnamon roll French toast is the dish your most indulgent friend will commandeer, and the chicken and waffle sliders (cheese, bacon, spicy maple) are the savory counterweight you'll want. There's a lobster Benedict for the splurge crowd, too. Expect $20–30 a head, which is honest value for Boston. The catch: it's small, it's loud when packed, and that near-cult following means you should book ahead (617-720-2010 or OpenTable). Bring a group, but reserve — a twelve-top doesn't walk into the North End on a Sunday.

Let me be honest about what this is: a walk-the-line bowl shop on Boylston, not a room you linger in.

La Fonda St - Boston

La Fonda Street pitches itself as a passport through Latin American street food — not a single country's greatest hits, but the kind of cross-border cooking you'd find at a busy market stall in Caracas or Santo Domingo.
