Best Restaurants in Boston
708 restaurants analyzed out of 4201 identified · United States
Boston's food scene has evolved well beyond New England clam chowder - the Italian restaurants in the North End remain a draw, but the real energy is in Cambridge and Somerville's international options, Chinatown's Chinese and Vietnamese, and the modern American cooking in the South End and Back Bay. Prices are moderate overall with a significant expensive tier, and the compact walkable scale means more of the city's dining is accessible without a car than in most American metros.
Boston has 708 analyzed restaurants. Some of the strongest areas for dining are North End, Harvard Square, Back Bay. Top cuisines include American, Japanese, Italian.
