The Best Places to Eat in Lynn, by the Record
Lynn has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Nightshade Noodle Bar, honored by James Beard Awards.

Rank 1. Nightshade Noodle Bar
Noodles
Uni custard with brown butter, red curry hollandaise, and a torch of cinnamon tells you immediately where you stand: somewhere north of Boston that plays by its own rules. Nightshade Noodle Bar in Lynn is a tasting-format noodle restaurant with a kitchen that treats cuisine borders as suggestions. The room is a black box, the playlist is loud, and the team is warm. Rachel Miller was a James Beard semifinalist in 2025, and the Times put it on their Boston list.
