If Rocca Kitchen & Bar (500 Harrison Avenue, Boston, 617.451.5151) was located in Dover, say, or Weston, its enormous parking lot wouldn't be cause for celebration. But in the South End, where permit-only street parking is the rule and most restaurants...

We foodies devour menus the way scholars study texts; the latest fruit of our scrutiny is the happy realization that we're no longer being railroaded by dint of menu headings into ordering an old-fashioned trio of courses. 51 Lincoln (51 Lincoln Street...

Once upon a time, sushi was an event. You planned an outing and you coveted the unagi. You ordered quality sake at only a few select Asian establishments. Then the Red Sox signed a certain pitcher and our city took on a more Eastern flair. Now Japanese...

No longer aimed solely at early birds on the one hand and fat cats on the other, today's prix-fixe dining is for hurriers and lingerers, cheapskates and profligates, traditionalists and trendsters alike. Among our current faves: the Godere in Due...

It's as though today's pastry chefs and confectioners are all flashing back to those old ads for Reese's peanut-butter cups - not merely getting their chocolate in their peanut butter, but wildly mixing up their savories and sweets. Dreamy...

Not even the city's top chophouses, with their jewel-encrusted strips and gold-flecked spuds, have whipped up a sauce as luxe as this one. Rodney Murillo, executive chef at Avila (One Charles Street South, Boston, 617.267.4810), is seeing their rich...

Nothing guarantees pure, unadulterated joy like a cupcake. Okay, that's not totally true. There are other surefire ways to achieve pleasure - but nothing quite as innocent or wholesome. Since Glenn Quirion and David Venter opened Sweet Tooth Bakery...

Along with vanilla, potatoes are pretty much the universal symbol of culinary dullness. Stuck in a spud rut yourself? Uproot thee, then, with fries that surprise - made from tubers, legumes, and more. Avila (1 Charles Street South, Boston, 617.267.4810...

We eat as many salads as the next guy, but sometimes we find ourselves in need of a splurge - and in order for something to qualify, it has to be worth the calories. Since it opened earlier this year in Kenmore Square, Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits ...

Pshaw to pretzels and nuts to nuts: this summer we're freeloading in style. That means hitting the patio at Pigalle (75 Charles Street South, Boston, 617.423.4944), where every round of cocktails comes complete with your choice of four snacks, including...

Ever since Bomboa closed, we've been anxiously awaiting an announcement from the innovative minds behind the neighboring 33 Restaurant & Lounge, who took over the space, about what the new concept would be. Now we know: STIX Restaurant & Lounge...

Forget veggie burgers and tofu: meat is hot in Boston, and in a big way. KO Prime (Nine Zero Hotel, 90 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.772.0202), which opened in the spring, stars carnivores Ken Oringer (consulting chef) and Jamie Bissonette (chef de cuisine...

There's just something about the pizza at the Upper Crust : thin, crispy crust, gooey cheese, swoon-worthy toppings ... we can't get enough. And apparently neither can anyone in Massachusetts, because the brand's been expanding like crazy...

We love Newbury Street, the South End, and even Kenmore Square as much as the next person, but lately when we need to get our al-fresco-dining fix, we head to Dante (Royal Sonesta, 40 Edwin Land Boulevard, Cambridge, 617.497.4200). The patio here is unlike...

It's always tragic when good friends move away, but in this case, the haute cuisine of L'Espalier (30 Gloucester Street, Boston, 617.262.3023) isn't going far. Next July, the storied restaurant is moving to Boylston Street as part of the new...
