Boston Restaurant Bucket List – GO

by Komal Patel
Boston Restaurant Bucket List

You guys know I am food crazed.

Some would say obsessed.

Hey, I’m a growing girl. I like to eat, OK.

On Monday I told you all that I am on the hunt for the best Mexican restaurant in Boston, here, which got me thinking about allllllll the other restaurants I’ve wanted to try.

Boston is such a melting pot of cultures and diversity, so, of course, I don’t expect anything else from the food scene.

Here is what I am looking for:

The Usual Suspects;

Mexican, Indian, Italian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese.

These types of cuisine are a dime dozen, but what else is there?!

I am feeling adventurous towards different countries and what they have to offer!

Peruvian, Ethiopian, Vietnamese, Argentinian, Slovakian, Latvian, Philappino, Spanish, South African, Caribbean, French, Moroccan and of course any other suggestions you guys have for me!

Side Note: I love, love, love RAMEN, so any authentic place you know of, OR a restaurant for soup dumplings! (Gourmet Dumpling House in Chinatown is one of my faves!)

I know I am all over the place here, but when it comes to food I can’t help it!

Take a look at my list below and give me your opinions!! Yay, nay? What should I order? Any other restaurant recommendations?

Let the Boston “Stuff Your Face” Bucket List Commence!

Mexican:

The Painted Burro

               Street Corn and charred octopus tacos. Get. At. Me.

Casa Romero

               Chipotle and Orange marinated Pork Chop? Yes please.

El Centro

               Carne Asada alllllll day.

Indian:

India Pavilion

               Obsessed for a good lunch buffet.

The Maharaja

               Tandoori everything. Chicken, Fish, whatever. I’ll eat it.

Mela

               Malai Kofta and do it yourself stone cooking? I am there!

Italian:

Il Molo

               Pearly glass tiles, seafood dishes and a killer cocktail list. Sounds like a good night to me.

Taranta

               Gnocchi made from cassava root? Say What?! A little of Peru in the North End!

Cultivar

                Try the squid ink messinesi with sea beans, Calabrian chili, bronze fennel, confit tomato, mahogany clams, squid, and lobster. Nuff said.

Thai:

Montien Thai

               Chewy crispy pork and skin cracklings. My mouth is salivating.

Khao Sarn

                Do-it-yourself dish that lets you wrap a few flakes of baked coconut, roasted peanuts, and tiny dried shrimp in a spinach leaf and finish with a dollop of sweet sauce and a squeeze of lime…sounds like a flavor bomb in my mouth! 

Siam House

               Fresh seafood dishes and a celebration of Phuket.

Chinese:

Chef Chang’s on Back Bay

               Chinese flatbreads? How interesting!

Qingdao Garden

               Their dumplings sound amazing! Soup dumplings, poultry, seafood, red meat. What a variety!

Jo Jo Taipei

                I am usually picky about pork buns, but here they are served with mustard greens and sugary sweet peanuts. YASSSSS.

        Japanese:

Shiki

               Tapas style Japanese food. Small things are so fun!

Douzo

               There are a lot of good sushi places in Boston, but I hear this one is a gem!

Tatsukichi

               Egg Custard Soup. No idea what that it is, but Im’a eat it!

For the ones below I need your help!!! Where are the best places to eat?!? I haven’t heard much about the Boston food scene and these types of cuisine. Help a sister out.

Peruvian

Ethiopian

Vietnamese

Argentinian

Slovakian

Latvian

Filipino

Spanish

South African

Caribbean

French

Moroccan

Now that have successfully made my mouth water over all these delights, it’s time to put the list into action.

On Thursday I will be going to the first restaurant on this list, The Painted Burro.

I will report back in the next few weeks, with which Mexican restaurant was my fave out of the three above.

In the meantime, a girl can never have too many suggestions!

Yum. I love food too!! My fave Italian place when I went to Boston was Antico Forno (so much, we went there twice instead of trying somewhere else!). I can’t wait to see your results from all of these other authentic places! <3
