These 2 MA Restaurants 'Define Dining,' New Top 100 Ranking Says
Two MA restaurants are among the "places that make us want to return again and again, and define the best of our dining culture today."
Two Massachusetts restaurants have been named to a ranking of 100 nationwide that “delight their communities and make them better.”
Resy, an online restaurant reservation service, said “The Resy 100” is a “curation of restaurants that thrill us, that serve exceptional food that alternately might be comforting or daring, traditional or completely new.”
“These are places that make us want to return again and again, and define the best of our dining culture today,” the company, which represents some 10,000 eateries nationwide, said with the release of the rankings.

“... They don’t have to be new,” the company said of the 100 restaurants on the list. “They don’t have to have a famous chef at the helm. They could be absolutely anywhere — as we’ve learned, a great meal can find you where you least expect it, whether you’ve traversed the country or just headed down the block. They are, simply, excellent and cherished. They delight their communities, and make them better.”

- Baleia in Boston ranked No. 25. The Portuguese restaurant was noted for its "bold and outstanding flavors." Chef Andrew Hebert "looks to New England bounty, and Portugal’s own southern coast, for inspiration." Resy praised dishes like steamed baby clams in vinho verde, seared cod in a caldo verde, and salt cod bolinhos.
- Myers + Chang in Boston ranked No. 100. The establishment opened 18 years ago but still books up weeks in advance. It's a restaurant that "plays somewhere in the zone between new American and Asian, uncovering the intersections between the two." Popular dishes include jumbo prawns with XO caramel, a bokkeumbap made with quinoa, and dan dan noodles with wild boar and pickled mustard greens.
