Eater Boston: Where to Eat on Newbury Street

Where to eat and drink along this iconic street in Boston

by Anna Darrow

Newbury Street is Boston’s most famous destination for dining and shopping. The street’s fancy boutiques, galleries, and 19th-century brownstones are charming enough to lure in anybody for an afternoon stroll, including local Bostonians, students, and tourists.

Given the in-demand real estate, dining on Newbury Street can get very expensive for what is, in some cases, a mediocre meal. Below, find our guide to old and new restaurants that are actually worth your money on the iconic street.

Krasi

Krasi is a hard reservation to snag, but it lives up to the hype: excellent Greek food, wine, and hospitality, in a sleek yet warm and welcoming space. The kitchen is led by chef and owner Theo Tsilipanos, culinary director Brendan Pelley, and executive chef Jerry Pabla, with the wine program by Jeremiah Cates. Fresh-baked breads, dips (think tzatziki, spicy whipped feta, ​​taramosalata), Greek cheeses, and dishes like the sungold and mushroom orzo, octopus souvlaki, and braised lamb shank are all exceptional and great for sharing.
