We asked Bostonians “if you could only eat at one restaurant for the rest of your life, which one would it be?” Of course, when we say Boston, we really mean Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and Brookline. So, without further ado, here are the best restaurants in Boston that just keep us coming back!
Oh, and if you’re wondering, our editor pick is hands down Oleana in Cambridge, MA. The farm-to-table Mediterranean sister of Sofra and Sarma truly never gets old, and the rotating menu means there’s always something exciting and new to try!
