We are honored to be included in the top 50 restaurants in Boston — for the second year and as we near our 2nd anniversary, it fills us with gratitude for our team, our guests, partners and all the support that makes it possible.
We’re proud of the space we occupy in our city’s culinary landscape and the stories we tell through our food & beverage — the celebration of the global ingredients and immigrant experiences, and the impact of colonization on cultural practices and cuisine. Congrats to everyone on the list, we’re in great company. Thank you Boston Magazine and everyone that contributed to this issue!
10. Comfort Kitchen
“Chef-partner Kwasi Kwaa’s Comfort Kitchen stands out in Boston’s diverse African dining landscape by reimagining the entire African diaspora through an upscale comfort-food lens. While the city boasts excellent regional specialties from Somalia to Nigeria, Kwaa’s approach is boldly panoramic, weaving tales of spice routes and culinary evolution into sophisticated dishes like coffee-cacao-braised beef short ribs and monkfish coconut curry. Given that the restaurant is a star not just locally but on a national stage, you’ll need to book far in advance—luckily, the recently launched brunch service has opened up new opportunities to snag a table. We’ll take two orders of plantain pancakes with jerk butter, please.”
