Where
to Eat
-Figs
on Beacon Hill, Three-minute
walk. Todd English’s brainchild, this is
pizza and pasta with panache. Try the warm bacon
and spinach salad or Isabelle’s pie with
ham and provolone.
-Teatro
Five-minute walk. A great choice before or after
a show (of the cinematic or theatrical variety),
Teatro offers Northern Italian rustic cuisine
in an atmosphere popular with the city’s
très chic set.
-Beacon
Hill Hotel & Bistro. Three-minute walk.
For a third date, or a special anniversary dinner,
try this mahogany-paneled bistro for refined elegance,
an outstanding (and priced to match) wine list,
and modern French cuisine with an emphasis on
fish dishes.
-Lala
Rokh, Five-minute walk. Billed as the city’s
only Eastern Mediterranean restaurant, Lala Rokh
recreates the Persian cuisine of the owners’
past with dishes and spices from Azerbaijan, Iran.
Check out the family’s collection of Persian
miniatures from the 14th to 16th century and calligraphy
from the 8th to 16th century. Named for a love
poem by Thomas Moore, this spot is as long on
service and ambience as it is on unique, mouthwatering
cuisine. Try the mirza ghasemi — roasted
eggplant, garlic, tomato, and saffron.
-Café
Vanille, Three-minute walk. The French pastries
are baked fresh each morning. Take a fruit-custard
tart or chocolate croissant out to the brick patio
for people-watching on Charles Street.
-No.
9 Park. Five-minute walk. Casually elegant,
serving European country cuisine. Known best for
its illustrious pastry chef, Kristen D. Murray,
who understands the boundaries of sweet. Try the
black pepper cheesecake, a surprising (and satisfying)
compilation of black pepper, caramelized pineapple,
and apple compote. The setting is true Beacon
Hill: in the shadow of the State House, in a Charles
Bullfinch–designed, 19th-century mansion
overlooking the Common.
-Ristorante
Toscano Five-minute walk. A long-time tradition
(in its 21st year), Ristorante Toscano is a favorite

Hire’s Robert Ulrich was a frequent diner.)

handpainted plates, antique maps, and original
artwork.
-The
Paramount, Five-minute walk. Coffee shop atmosphere,
with a few 21st-century twists. The perfect spot
when you crave buttermilk pancakes, an overstuffed
omelet, a juicy burger, or mom’s meatloaf.

at night. Inexpensive, with most items under $10.
