Seeking Food inspiration – A Review of the Best Boston Restaurants

Bar Mezzana - Crostino

Seeking food inspiration, I have resorted to reminiscing about the (many) restaurants we went to in Boston.  I miss going to restaurants, mainly for the great company and dinner chit-chat over a glass of wine (or two).  But also there… Continue Reading…


Uni – No.1

Uni Spoon

Uni – Boston’s top restaurant according to Boston magazine 2018.  The end of our journey and actually our final top 50 meal in Boston before our departure two days later.  We couldn’t leave without going to Number 1 – they… Continue Reading…


Sarma – No.4

Sarma - cornbread

We really enjoyed Oleana, the last Middle-Eastern restaurant we dined at.  So Sarma, a Turkish inspired restaurant, seemed the perfect choice for a birthday dinner.  It’s another small plates style restaurant where they recommend 2-3 dishes per person, meaning that… Continue Reading…


Asta – No.5

The Table at Season to Taste – No.7

The table at Season to Taste is a restaurant I had been looking forward to.  A small 20 seater restaurant, a four-course Prix Fixe menu and counter top seating looking over the open kitchen. We had two choices for each… Continue Reading…


Craigie on Main – No.8

Craigie on Main Pig's Head

No.8 – Craigie on Main and we had two options.  The refined dining room with a changing prix-fixe format, or the COMB (Craigie On Main Bar), a more casual dining experience with high top tables and the possibility to have… Continue Reading…


Yvonne’s – No.10

I must have walked past Yvonne’s almost every day for a year and not realised it was there.  Tucked away down a side alley on Winter Street in Downtown Crossing, with a sign that is not obviously lit or clearly… Continue Reading…
