Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Washington Square, Brookline

Jenny M. • April 26, 2016The Brussels sprouts are delicious, and the dough is so good, you could almost eat it plain. But don't, because the sauce is too good. The diced pepperoni pizza is a great choice.

Katie G. • January 29, 2016Favorite restaurant ever! Get the spinach chickpea cazuelas and definitely the lobster fideos if they have it. 3 tapas per person is usually good. Make room for the delicious warm bread!

Adam S. • May 13, 2014Excellent menu, maybe the best in the Washington Square area. Bison bolognese is a personal favorite.

Boston.com • December 12, 2012The Publick House has a well-curated tap list that features rare pours.The mac and cheese is a standout, and traditional Belgian fare pairs well with Belgium’s slightly sweet, slightly spicy beers.

Spyros K. • January 28, 2019A heaven for board games of all kinds! Three large rooms and the kind owner make you feel at home! Hot beverages, alcohol and snacks (sandwiches & deserts) available!

Anna R. • November 22, 2019One of the best bakeries ever - you have to try the baklava gelato!!

H Alex H. • August 19, 2011Crunchy Maki is unlike anything I've ever had anywhere else ever before or since. And it's the best spicy sauce in the city, so definitely try the spicy tuna/salmon/scallop.

Terence M. • May 2, 2014First time here? Pick Pik Pow Fried Rice. You'll come for more!

Jeff B. • September 10, 2021Seafood towers, king crab legs, fantastic cocktail riffs, shrimp chips, and caviar for days! A must-visit spot from Ran Duan & his crew.

Ajit V. • January 7, 2010Best pints of Guinness in Boston poured by Damien. Burgers are great and perfect vibe for the winter. My fav bar in Boston hands down

Maya M. • September 1, 2017The double stack short rib taco is AMAZING. As is the Palomero - on the cocktails list.

Mike D. • March 24, 2017My favorite coffee chain in Boston!

William D. • September 29, 2012This isn't a typical work/study coffee space. It's a real, traditional coffee shop where you meet people at, enjoy a book, or read a paper. Enjoy the time away from your screen!

Butch • October 22, 2014Definitely the nicest Dunks I've been to.

Thomas T. • January 15, 2019Try the Le Homard (lobster over celeriac mirepoix), bathed in lobster bisque. It was excellent.

Meg B. • November 9, 2018Golden Temple gives off some Indiana Jones vibes while delivering on the best Chinese with fresh ingredients. I recommend the beef and oyster sauce paired with their signature Mai Tai.

Steve S. • March 22, 2011If you love your brewed coffee, try it on the Clover. (Special Reserve coffee!)

Candy M. • May 25, 2011Their food is really good and takeout comes really fast. Lunch and dinner combos are cheap and pretty delicious. Try the chicken and broccoli dish, and the scallion pancakes YUM :)

Mike C. • July 28, 2018Meatball Benedict and tiramisu french toast
