5 best new restaurant openings and dining updates in Boston (Feb. 12, 2026)
"In Greater Boston's dining scene, there's always a new restaurant opening to celebrate or a fresh update coming to one of the city's delicious eateries. In the months ahead, we have major restaurant openings from Michelin chefs and famous New York restaurateurs, as well as a swell of diverse and delicious smaller restaurants joining our neighborhoods. Each week, Boston.com will highlight the restaurant openings worth knowing about across the region. Some spots will already be open, while others are set to debut in 2026."
"Opening date: Summer 2026 19 Third Ave., Burlington Opening date: Summer 2026 Seaport; exact address TBD Jason Santos' coastal Mexican spot is getting a second location in the 'burbs, with its party atmosphere taking over the space that recently housed Osteria Nino. Much of the same can be expected at the new location, like colorful decor, tacos, and frozen margs, but its Burlington restaurant will also have an expansive patio and room for private dining."
"The Xenia Hospitality Group isn't slowing down after just a year ago opening one of the city's hottest restaurants, Kaia, and running some of the hardest-to-reserve eateries in Greater Boston. This concept will be slightly different than the rest of its mostly Greek line-up, blending the cuisines from Greece and Japan at this 15-seat omakase spot, per Boston magazine."
Greater Boston's dining scene will see numerous notable restaurant openings through 2026, including major projects from Michelin chefs and well-known New York restaurateurs alongside diverse smaller neighborhood restaurants. Jason Santos is opening a second coastal Mexican location in Burlington in Summer 2026, featuring colorful decor, tacos, frozen margaritas, an expansive patio, and private dining in the former Osteria Nino space. Xenia Hospitality Group plans a 15-seat omakase blending Greek and Japanese cuisines, expanding beyond its primarily Greek portfolio after opening Kaia. Some openings are already underway, with venues open in January 2026 and additional spots slated for early spring and summer 2026.
