Top 5 Restaurants in Boston

When you think of Boston you might say, тЂњSure itтЂ™s rich in history, but howтЂ™s the food?тЂќ The answer is a simple тЂњwicked good!тЂќ The food scene in Boston goes well beyond cream pies, cod, and beans. Maybe it was Julia Child putting Boston chefs on the map or maybe itтЂ™s some of todayтЂ™s hottest celebrity chefs putting their spin on Boston cuisine тЂ“ we donтЂ™t know, but Boston is definitely a shining star in American cuisine. Boston Chefs Make It a Gastronomic Hot Spot LтЂ™Espalier The name tells you that the cooking is French, but it doesnтЂ™t tell you delicious it is. From sole with black truffles to foie gras with quince, chef-owner Frank McClelland"s masterpieces are every bit as impeccable and elegant as the Victorian town house in which they are served. LтЂ™Espalier is known as one of BostonтЂ™s most romantic restaurants. No. 9. Park Located in BostonтЂ™s historic Beacon Hill neighborhood, No. 9 Park matches its cuisine to its tony surroundings. Chef Barbara LynchтЂ™s menu includes pumpkin risotto with rare lamb and a memorably rich prune-stuffed gnocchi drizzled with bits of foie gras. Pigalle The downtown location of this quaint, 20-table spot makes Pigalle a romantic destination to hit before taking in a show in the neighboring Theater District. The menu is a fusion of traditional French cooking with occasional Asian inspired specials. This intimate restaurant will keep you coming back with its excellent food and consistent top-notch service. East Coast Grill and Raw Bar No guide to Boston restaurants is complete without a nod to seafood. Many Boston chefs try seafood, but owner/chef Chris Schlesinger does it better than most.

Toro Tapas and small plates are currently one the hottest culinary trends. Owner/Chef, Ken Oringer, keeps this trend alive and well in Boston.
