The Top 100 Places to Eat and Drink Near Salt patisserie

Updated June 17, 2026

Categories

  1. Rank 1. Thistle & Leek

    New American

    Wood paneling and a relaxed sprawl mask the exacting work happening in this Newton kitchen, where focaccia, pasta, and ice cream emerge from scratch. The seasonal menu pivots daily—sesame bread with chèvre and fava beans, lamb meatballs in tomato-ginger curry—with equal devotion to a properly roasted chicken and a pint.

  10. Rank 10. Mahaniyom

    Thai

    Two childhood friends from north of Bangkok run this tight Brookline room where Thai small plates arrive with surprising ambition. A pomelo salad brightens with grilled tiger prawns and toasted coconut; a house-made red curry cradles crabmeat and rice vermicelli in coconut richness. The cocktails—try the Thai tea–infused Sazerac—match the kitchen's unafraid creativity.

    Italian

    The room hums with the controlled chaos of a place that knows what it does well: pasta, nine varieties of it, rotating daily. Fusilli arrives bright with tomato and zucchini; pappardelle ribbons carry braised wild boar with the weight of patient cooking. An all-Italian wine list anchors the experience. Counter seats along the bar stay open for walk-ins brave enough to take their chances.

The kitchen's restraint and precision suggest a chef more interested in the integrity of her ingredients than in spectacle.

Herb-crusted fish, dry-aged duck, chawanmushi threaded with truffle: the ideas come fast and handwritten, a restless intelligence at work.
