5 best new restaurant openings and dining updates in Boston (March 5, 2026)
Stay up-to-date on the best new restaurants, recent openings, and the biggest dining updates across Greater Boston's food scene.
In Greater Boston’s dining scene, there’s always a new restaurant opening to celebrate or a fresh update coming to one of the city’s delicious eateries. In the months ahead, we have major restaurant openings from Michelin chefs and famous New York restaurateurs, as well as a swell of diverse and delicious smaller restaurants joining our neighborhoods.
Each week, Boston.com will highlight the restaurant openings worth knowing about across the region. Some spots will already be open, while others are set to debut in 2026. At least one featured restaurant will always be a bonus item — either a pop-up, a collaboration, or event at area restaurants.

What’s new in Greater Boston restaurant openings this week
Cafe Noodo

1 Nashua St., West End
Call Me Honey
The transformation from Curio Coffee to Call Me Honey is now complete, with former Curio employees at the helm. This neighborhood cafe is pretty similar to its past life, serving coffee — including guest roasters, like Kid Dream Coffee out of Beverly — and liège waffles, a type of Belgian waffle.

441 Cambridge St., Cambridge
Hamersley’s Pantry
For the nights you want to stay in or host your own dinner, this new neighborhood market (with a familial tie to Hamersley’s Bistro, which closed in 2014) in Southie is your spot. You’ll more than likely find what you need for a cooking-in occasion: a package of Dan Dan noodles, pickles, seasoned salt, honey mustard, chips, tableware, even candy.
Open now (February 2026)
341 W. Broadway, South Boston
LPM Restaurant
Making its Northeast debut, LPM (or La Petite Maison) Restaurant, is coming to the second floor of the Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, according to a press release. The Back Bay location of this upscale French-Mediterranean restaurant will be the brand’s third U.S. restaurant, following openings in Las Vegas and Miami with both food and beverage menus influenced by the French Riviera.
Opening date: Summer 2026
1 Dalton St., Back Bay
Bonus: Sloane’s St. Patrick’s Day pop-up
Sloane’s is out, and Sloane’s Pub is in (temporarily). For the month of March, guests at Sloane’s can order from a special St. Patrick’s Day-themed menu that puts that typical playful Sloane’s spin on Irish dishes. That includes food like curry cheese fries and shepherd’s pie empanadas, but there are also the classics, like a Sunday Roast that comes with slow-roasted pork loin, mashed potatoes, braised cabbage, and gravy.
