Beacon Hill Bistro

Beacon Hill Bistro, Beacon Hill, BostonBoston has been called the most European of American cities because of places like the Beacon Hill Bistro. I love coming here for Sunday brunch in preparation for an afternoon of window shopping in the Back Bay.

The large windows overlooking vibrant Charles Street let in plenty of light at this friendly and sophisticated spot in Boston’s historic Beacon Hill. The narrow room manages to feel roomy and cozy at the same time. There’s a fully stocked bar so you can drink a Bellini as you wait for your poached eggs or smoked salmon salad.

The menu is unfussy and has something to please almost any palate. The staff is friendly and the patrons are an energetic mix of students, Beacon Hill Brahmin, hipsters, and families. This is the type of place that inspires conversation, and you are as likely to spot a couple holding hands across the table as you are to chat up the international students at the table next to you.

After your meal it’s a beautiful stroll down the cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill, through the Public Garden to the action on Newbury Street - not a bad way to begin a fabulous Sunday.
