No one knows food better than chefs themselves.

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: OSTRA
“My favorite restaurant is Ostra! The service is impeccable—everyone from host to server to bartender to food runner to busser is kind and gracious and dedicated to make sure you have a wonderful meal. And the food! The bread is served warm and is so good… I always ask for seconds. The oysters and sashimi and tartares are superfresh and flavorful; the main courses are perfectly cooked and seasoned; the desserts are spectacular. I always leave with a huge smile on my face.”

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: FACCIA A FACCIA
“Faccia a Faccia has a creative and thoughtful menu. Ken has transformed the space into a welcoming and casual spot with great food and drinks, and the service is always spot on.”

FAVORITE RESTAURANT: FLOUR BAKERY
“Joanne’s Flour Bakery takes the neighborhood bakery concept to new heights on both the sweet and the savory [side] and somehow ensures even as it grows in size and scale it remains the place in each neighborhood that feels like an extension of your home.”
Jamie Bissonnette, Chef-Owner, Faccia a Faccia, facciaafacciaboston.com
FAVORITE RESTAURANT: UNI
“Uni is my favorite spot—Takeishi has some of the most interesting and well-cut sushi and nigiri. Chef David Bazirgan is making the best food in Boston with really unique influences. Save room for Lauren’s desserts. Great tunes and energy in the dining room. It’s a food party for sure.” uni-boston.com
