"For years, Boston has been the culinary bridesmaid, but never the bride. While New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., flaunted their Michelin stars, Boston-poor thing-was left out of the red guide entirely. But all that's changing. In April 2025, Michelin announced it would finally start reviewing Boston's restaurants. For food lovers, it feels long overdue. And the countdown is officially on: Michelin will reveal its first-ever Boston stars, alongside other Northeast cities, at a ceremony in Philadelphia on November 18, 2025."
"The Michelin Moment Boston's dining scene has matured dramatically over the past decade. Today's chefs are mixing New England ingredients with global inspiration, creating food that feels both ambitious and rooted. Take Mooncusser, perched above the Boston Common. Chef Carl Dooley crafts an elegant seafood tasting menu-halibut with fermented ramps, scallops with smoked caviar-that strikes a balance between refinement and approachability. If any restaurant looks primed for a star, it's this one."
Fall travel to New England combines vivid foliage with a burgeoning Boston dining scene. Michelin announced in April 2025 that it will begin reviewing Boston restaurants, with the first Boston stars to be revealed at a Philadelphia ceremony on November 18, 2025. Boston chefs increasingly blend New England ingredients with global inspiration, producing ambitious, rooted cuisine. Mooncusser offers an elegant seafood tasting menu—halibut with fermented ramps, scallops with smoked caviar—balancing refinement and approachability. O Ya provides an intimate, ever-changing 20-course Omakase. Local dining and drinking spots also include options that support LGBTQ+ restaurateurs.
