After months of eating, arguing, and eating some more, we’ve landed on an expertly ranked list of Boston’s Top 50 Restaurants—the most exciting and most worth-the-wait dining establishments in Boston and beyond. Over the years of compiling this annual ranking, special occasions have gotten a lot more relaxed around here. Don't get us wrong—Greater Boston still has those grand spots with white tablecloths, and you'll see a few on this list. But these days, most of us are celebrating in noisy restaurants that pulse with energy—restaurants where jeans-wearing servers deliver caviar and seafood towers to barstool diners, while club beats set the mood.
That spirit runs through this year's Top 50 Restaurants list—places that genuinely feel special-occasion-worthy, whether you're commemorating a milestone or just had an amazing day at work. See all of our picks now at the link in our bio. Also in our November issue, step inside the world of Boston's influencer class, find where to ski now, and discover so much more when you pick up a physical copy at newsstands today. https://bit.ly/479YnG5
