Whether you venture to trendy Davis Square in Somerville, traverse the South End, or stick to the heart of downtown Boston, there's never a shortage of tantilizing eateries. And thanks to the culinary masterminds behind these Boston restaurants, by the time you're within 20 feet of their alluring aromas, (even if you weren't hungry at the start of your walk) those hunger pangs begin to hit hard. But with so many options, it might be a little difficult to make that final decision on which Boston restaurant you will succumb to...Which is why I've tried to make the choice a bit easier. I've rounded up 43 spots that, as a true Bostonian, you should check off your list, at least once. This by no means that there aren't hundreds of other worthy contenders in the Boston food scene; but hey, you gotta start somewhere. via @itsamecj Neptune Oyster Bar // 63 Salem St Type: Seafood via @myfoodthoughts Tiger Mama // 1363 Boylston St Type: Southeast Asian Cuisine via @fernwehfoodway Highland Kitchen // 150 Highland Ave Type: American Comfort Food via @cashminhy Yume Wo Kutare // 1923 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge Type: Ramen via @downeastcider Brewer's Fork // 7 Moulton Street, Charlestown Type: Pizzeria/Beer Garden via @officialfoodgroup Sam LaGrassa’s // 44 Province St Type: Sandwiches via @kelsey.petrie Mistral // 223 Columbus Ave Type: French Cuisine via @ispyhannahc Tasting Counter // 14 Tyler St, Somerville Type: New American Fine Dining via @sydneysiwinski The Gallows // 1395 Washington St Type: New American Cuisine via @cathclowe Clover Food Lab // 1326 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge Type: Vegetarian via @trinastarlite Trina's Starlite Lounge // 3 Beacon St, Somerville Type: Southern Comfort Cuisine via @mizmaggieb Juliet // 257 Washington St, Somerville Type: Euro-style Cafe via @muffinjessica Craigie on Main // 853 Main St, Cambridge Type: French New American Cuisine via @kananzz Sweet Cheeks Q // 1381 Boylston St Type: BBQ via @eaterboston Gene’s Chinese Flatbread Cafe // 86 Bedford St Type: Chinese Cuisine via @coppaboston Coppa // 253 Shawmut Ave Type: Italian Cuisine via @rtrulb Mike and Patty's // 12 Church St Type: Sandwiches via @hhyphoto Journeyman // 9 Sanborn Ct, Somerville Type: New American Cuisine via @centrestreetcafejp Centre Street Cafe // 669A Centre St Type: Italian Cuisine via @saveurmag Row 34 // 383 Congress St Type: Seafood via @bastedmind Myers + Chang // 1145 Washington St Type: Asian Cuisine via @fwscout Mei Mei // 506 Park Drive Type: Asian Cuisine via @dannydoit KO Pies // 87 A St, South Boston Type: Australian Meat Pies via @minny_127 Boston Sail Loft // 80 Atlantic Ave Type: Seafood via @icobar Santarpio's Pizza // 111 Chelsea St Type: Pizzeria via @foodismyhomeboy Shawarma Falafel // 26 Province Street Type: Lebanese Cuisine via @bostonpotter Oleana // 134 Hampshire St, Cambridge Type: Mediterranean Cuisine via @legalseafoods Legal Sea Food // 20 University Rd, Cambridge Type: Seafood via @spenten R.F.
