3 New England restaurants among the most anticipated openings, according to Food & Wine
The New England restaurants are included in a list of 12 eateries opening this spring across the country.
There are always restaurants to look forward to in Greater Boston and New England, and sometimes the region’s restaurant openings catch the attention of national publications like Food & Wine magazine.
The food media outlet published on March 19 a list of restaurants their team of food writers and editors can’t wait to try this spring. The 12 eateries that made the cut vary by region and cuisine, from “ancestral European” in Cleveland to Mexican fine dining in Houston.
The restaurants are also all from chefs who have been named a best new chef by Food & Wine at some point in their career.
