20 "Impressing Out of Towners" restaurants in Boston.
Mariel is a Cuban restaurant downtown. Don’t let all the selfies distract you from the fact that it’s actually really good.
The L Street is an Irish pub in South Boston that will make you contemplate whether you like apples.
Ilona is an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant in the South End. It’s a beautiful spot filled with beautiful South End people, and the food is great.
Time Out Market is a giant food hall in Fenway with stalls run by some great Boston restaurants. It’s cool, but be prepared to pay the tourist tax.

Saloon is a speakeasy in Davis Square that’s so dark you might fall asleep in there (though probably not if it’s burlesque night).

Tanám is a Filipino restaurant that’s really just a single table in a small room in Union Square, and it’s outstanding.
