Boston Area Best Tapas

Comedor 130 reviews 105 Union St, Newton, MA American (New), Seafood, Tapas Bars “I was blown away by how sophisticated and balanced the flavors and textures in the crab johnnycakes... I'm pretty sure I actually made out with my pistachio donut at one point, too. Brunch is served tapas style, so I would order two plates per person.” Jenny Y., Boston, MA

Ittoku 163 reviews Allston/Brighton 1414 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA Japanese, Sushi Bars, Tapas/Small Plates “This is a unique style of Japanese food... It's called Izakaya, and offers small tapas-like dishes meant to be enjoyed with Japanese beer, sake, or umeshu. Must have: Okonomiyaki — a savory pancake similar to scallion pancake but much fluffier.” Hana K., Boston, MA

Casa B 195 reviews 253 Washington St, Somerville, MA Spanish, Caribbean, Tapas/Small Plates “Great tapas that differ from your typical fare at Spanish restaurants. Loved the chicken gizzards and shrimp wrapped in bacon... I actually liked it. The gizzards are tender and a bit chewy (in a good way) and really soak up the flavors.” Ariel Z., Medford, MA

Tres Gatos 244 reviews Jamaica Plain 470 Centre St, Jamaica Plain, MA Tapas Bars, Wine Bars, Music Venues “This place deserves 10,000,000 stars. The staff are so lovely and the ambiance is really terrific... Imagine my delight when I asked our waitress if there were any dairy-free, gluten-free options and learned that about half the menu fit the bill.” Hillary M., Boston, MA

Meze Greek Tapas 46 reviews 156 Shrewsbury St, Worcester, MA Tapas/Small Plates, Tapas Bars, Mediterranean “Greek tapas in Worcester? Who would have thought... We ordered the Kotosouvlaki (chicken kabobs), absolutely delicious... Shrimp Saganaki, baked shrimp in a clay pot with tomato sauce and feta cheese. My favorite dish, too good.” Joe C., Greenville, RI
