Boston may be famous for cream pies and clam chowder, but Beantown has definitely moved beyond the traditional New England fare to more innovative and interesting dining choices. These days you’ll find new restaurants popping up all over the city, giving locals and tourists a taste of sophisticated international cuisine. Here are a few new and notable openings:
As one of the most European cities in the US, it was only fitting that Boston welcomed the first North American location for Wagamama this summer. A favorite among travelers in Europe, Wagamama features a minimalist decor and hearty noodle dishes served in a colorful communal environment. The first location is in Faneuil Hall near the New England Aquarium and second location recently opened in Cambridge near the Harvard Museum.
Another restaurant recently opened in Boston’s Mission Hill. The Savant Project started serving tapas in late September and has already drawn rave reviews from the diners on Yelp.com for its creative cocktail menu and loungy but unpretentious atmosphere. Mid-October brought the addition of Church, a combination restaurant and music venue near Fenway Park. Their “Seven Deadly Sins” cocktail list plays up the church theme.
And lastly, tonight is the grand opening for the newest addition to Boston’s restaurant scene. STIX Restaurant and Lounge in the Back Bay near the Shops at Prudential Center “pairs global cuisine with an awe-inspiring architectural design,” according to their website. Menu items include tuna sashimi, ricotta tortellini, and grilled quail.
