The Most Exciting Boston Restaurant Openings of 2024
Briefly

"The Peppery in Braintree for their authentic Thai fare including a mindblowing curry noodle soup with crispy chicken. But wait! Braintree also just saw the opening of a new location of Brookline's wonderful Ganko, and a first look at the place was really impressive as well as their ramen was (unsurprisingly) tremendous." - Marc Hurwitz, founder of Boston's Hidden Restaurants and Boston Restaurant Talk.
"'Favorite' to me implies some connection to the heart, not just the intellect and appetite. For that, I'll go with Abuela's Table, serving fresh, homey Mexican food in JP. It's not fancy, it's not expensive, it's just satisfying. Why is that super simple cactus salad so good? I can't explain it rationally, but I want to eat it all the time." - Devra First, restaurant critic for the Boston Globe.
"Sushi at Temple Records. The space is cool, the service is warm but unobtrusive and the sushi is the best in the city. I said what I said." - Tanya Edwards, freelance writer and Eater Boston contributor.
"This year, I made it my mission to explore some of the standout spots that opened in 2022 and 2023 - like Comfort Kitchen, June Bug, and Faccia a Faccia - all of which instantly won me over. At the same time, I couldn't resist revisiting cherished favorites such as Pammy's, Thistle and Leek, Moona, and Uni. I have a reservation at Somaek, a spot I've been eager to try ever since I captured their opening photography."
